Answer:

3.1 ft/sec

Explanation:

we are talking about a right-angled triangle.

the Hypotenuse c is the line (rope) connecting the boat and the winch.

the side a is the height of the winch (8 ft straight up from the water level).

the side b is the distance of the boat to the dock on the surface of the water. 6ft.

c² = 8² + 6² = 100

c = 10 ft

when pulling in 1.5 ft of the rope, I create a new triangle, where side a is still the same, the new side c is 1.5 ft shorter than the original one, and we need to calculate the new side b based on that.

the difference of original b and new b is then the distance per second (= the rate) of the boat being pulled at that point.

so,

(10-1.5)² = 8² + b²

8.5² = 64 + b²

72.25 = 64 + b²

8.25 = b²

b = 2.9 ft

original b - new b = 6 - 2.9 = 3.1 ft

=> the boat's rate is 3.1ft/sec

I know nothing about this please help
Kamila [148]

That x-intercept is where the line passes through the x axis (the horizontal line) and the y-intercept is where the the line passes through the y axis (the vertical line).

The slope is kind of like how slanted the line is. The slope is 2 because for every 1 point the goes horizontally, it goes 2 points vertically.

In case you have np idea what on earth I just said the answer is 2.

A _____ yellow line means traffic on either side may cross the center line to pass another vehicle.
REY [17]

Single broken along with a single solid yellow line means traffic on either side may cross the center line to pass another vehicle .

Option - C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Traffic signals are to be followed to protect us from accidents and making accidents. If rules are followed as per the signals there will be smooth flow of traffic on the either side of the road.

One mistake by a person may lead to fatal accidents. To overtake a vehicle you have to do it at the right point where the traffic lines are drawn. For that purpose the Single broken yellow line is the point where the other vehicle can overtake.  

If we are driving on side of the broken yellow line we are allowed to overtake the other vehicles. But if we are driving on the side of solid yellow line, we cannot overtake.
