Given:
ΔABC ΔDEF
To find:
The length of median CP
Solution:
In ΔABC,
AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12
In ΔDEF,
DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8
If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.
Do cross multiplication.
Add 192 on both sides.
Subtract 24x from both sides.
Divide by 24 on both sides.
⇒ 12 = x
Substitute x = 12 in CP.
CP = 3(12) - 12
= 36 - 12
= 24
The length of median CP is 24.
Answer: 1. 210 meters per second .
2. 756 kilometers per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The formula to calculate the estimated speed, in meters per second of a tsunami.
1. If the disturbance occurred at an ocean depth of 4,500 meters.
Then put d= 4500 in the above formula , we get
Hence, if the disturbance occurred at an ocean depth of 4,500 meters , the estimated speed would be 210 meters per second .
Also, A meter per second is equal to 3.6 kilometers per hour.
i.e. 1 meter per second = 3.6 kilometers per hour
Then by unitary method ,
210 meters per second = kilometers per hour
=756 kilometers per hour.
