Let distance form the pole = x  and height of the hill = y ft

now we can set up 2 equayions 
tan 18 = (40-y)/x
tan 14 = y/x

from second equation y = sxtan14  so we have:-
 tan 18  = ( 40 - x tan 14) /  x

x tan 18 = 40 - x tan 14
x(tan 18 + tan 14) = 40

x   = 40 / (tan18 + tan 14)  =  69.66 feet Answer

When a ferry boat is on open water, it travels at a constant speed. A ferry boat traveled 4 miles in 10 minutes. Complete the eq
ozzi

Answer:

The equation is: y=0.4x

The relationship between  the time in minutes, t, and the distance traveled in miles, d is a straight line, as shown in attached graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

As boat travels at constant speed.

So, if ferry boat travels 4 miles in 10 minutes. It means it would complete 24 miles in one hour.

And in 1 minute, 0.4 miles will be completed.

So, the equation becomes

y=0.4x

As the slope intercept form is y=mx+c

So, m=0.4 is the slope

The relationship between  the time in minutes, t, and the distance traveled in miles, d is a straight line i.e. linear.

The graph is also attached which indicates that relationship between  the time in minutes, t, and the distance traveled in miles, d is a straight line i.e. linear.

Keywords: speed, time, graph
