Two row boats start at the same location, and start traveling apart along straight lines which meet at an angle of π3. Boat A is

traveling at a rate of 5 miles per hour directly east, and boat B is traveling at a rate of 10 miles per hour going both north and east. How fast is the distance between the rowboats increasing 3 hours into the journey?

Answer:

  5√3 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout their journey, the component of velocity of rowboat B to the east is the same as that of rowboat A:

  (10 mph)(cos(π/3)) = 5 mph

Meanwhile, the component of velocity of rowboat B to the north is ...

  (10 mph)(sin(π/3)) = 5√3 mph

Since rowboat A is always traveling in a direction that is at right angles to the direction between the boats, it contributes nothing to their relative speed. Since rowboat B is always directly north of rowboat A, its speed to the north is their relative speed.

The distance between the rowboats is increasing at 5√3 mph ≈ 8.66 mph.

3b^2-4b+1=0 solve each equation with the quadratic formula
hjlf
First multiply 3 and the 1
Then simplify b^2-4b+3=0
Then divide both numbers by 3 (b-3/3)(b-1/3)=0
If it doesn’t go in even like the second term then bring it before the B
Then equal both terms to 0 and solve

Which set of side lengths form a right triangle?
astraxan [27]
Since we don't want to use the Pythagorean Theorem on all of these, first we look for some Pythagorean Triples. Its very helpful to know some of the common ones, so here's a list:

3, 4, 5
5, 12, 13
7, 24, 25
8, 15, 17

So we either look for these or a multiple of these numbers.

The last one is the only one that fits because 15, 20, 25 is a multiple of the triple 3, 4, 5 by multiplying all of them by 5. 

Thus, 15, 20, 25 forms a right triangle.
