D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answers : A and D

Step - by - step explanation :

tip : when finding constant of proportionality it's always Y divided by X

A = what is 22.5 divided by 3 ?  7.5 ( now multiply 7.5 by the next X [ 4 ] )

what is 7.5 x 4 ?  30 ( and since on the graph it also says 30 then you can assume this one has a proportional relationship )

B = what is 12 divided by 3 ?  4 ( now multiply 4 by the next X [ 5 ] )

what is 4 x 5 ?  20 ( and because the graph says 25 then you know it's NOT a proportional relationship )

C = what is 8.5 divided by 2 ?  4.25 ( now multiply 4.25 by the next X [ 5 ] )

what is 4.25 x 5 ?  21.25 ( and because the graph says 22.5 then you know it's NOT a proportional relationship )

D = what is 10 divided by 2 ?  5 ( now multiply 5 by the next X [ 3 ] )

what is 5 x 3 ?  15 ( and since on the graph it also says 15 then you can assume this one has a proportional relationship )

( sorry it took me so long to write this )

Find the area of the polygon defined by the coordinates (0,-5),(-5,0),(-15,-20),and(-20,-15)
alekssr [168]

Area of the polygon defined by the given points is 62.5 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :    

Let P be the point (-5,0)  Q = (0,-5), R = (-15,-20) and S = (20,-15)

We have to to find the area of the polygon PQRS

Step 2 :

The area of polygon given the vertices (x(x_{1} ,y_{1} ), (x_{2} ,y_{2})  ... (x_{n} ,y_{n} ) is given by

Area  = mod ( (x_{1} y_{2}  - y_{1}x_{2}) + (x_{2} y_{3}  - y_{2}x_{3}) + ... (x_{n} y_{1}  - y_{n}x_{1}) ) ÷ 2

Where  x_{n} is the vertex n's x coordinate , y_{n} is the vertex n's y coordinate

Substituting the corresponding values ,

Area of PQRS = mod ( (25 - 0)+ (0-75) +(300-300) +( 0-75)  ) ÷ 2

                       = mod (25-75+0-75) ÷ 2

                       = mod (-125) ÷ 2 = 125 ÷ 2 = 62.5 sq units

Step 3 :    

Answer :

Area of the polygon defined by the given points is 62.5 sq units

A board that measures 3/4 feet long is cut into 6 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?
gayaneshka [121]
I would convert from feet to inches and say an 9 in long board is cut.
Now just divide 9 by 6
9/6=1.5 inches

HELP ASAP!!!!<br> Does someone mind walking me through this. I really need help.
Tamiku [17]
The minimum of this graph is the focus of the parabola. I'm not sure with the maximum though but I think it doesn't have a maximum because the y value of the parabola will extend infinitely upward.
