Answer:
16.9 km
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached, we can see that the problem forms a triangle.
So, to find the distance(d) from the boat to Beachton , we can make use of Pythagoreas theorem.
Thus;
d² = 16.8² + 2.2²
d² = 282.24 + 4.84
d² = 287.08
d = √287.08
d = 16.9434
Approximating to the nearest tenth, we have;
d ≈ 16.9 km

Answer:
there are more magnets that longer than 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.
Please have a look at the attached photo.
My answer:
From the photo, we can see that:
Length of the magnet:
- 1 inch there is 1 magnet
inches there are 2 magnets
- 2 inches there are 3 magnets
- 3 inches there are 4 magnets
there is 1 magnet
- 4 inches there are 2 magnets
=> the total number of magnets that longer than 2 1/2 are: 4+1+2 = 7
=> the total number of magnets that shorter than 2 1/2 are: 1+2+3 = 6
Hence, there are more magnets that longer than 2 1/2
Hope it will find you well.
