Answer:

DL/dt = 17 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The ships and the port shape a right triangle

Ship  going west ( x-direction)   is traveling at 15 mph

Ship going north  (y-direction) is traveling at 10 mph

The distance L between ships is:

L²  = x² + y²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation with respect to time

we get

2*L*DL/dt = 2*x*Dx/dt  + 2*y*Dy/dt    (1)

In that equation we know:

Dx/dt  = 15 mph

Dy/dt  = 10 mph

At the moment  ship traveling from the east is at 3 miles from the port

then x = 3 m  and the other ship is at 4 miles north

then by Pythagoras theorem

L = √ 3² + 4²    L = 5

By substitution in equation 1

2*5*DL/dt  = 2*3*15 + 2*4*10

10* DL/dt  =  90  +  80

DL/dt = 170 / 10

DL/dt = 17 mph

Geometric proofs. I just don’t understand it and my teacher isn’t helping.

The midpoint of a line can be represented by the point that is in the very center of the line. A line segment such as AT also represents half of the line. The symbol of the tilde with the equal sign underneath represents congruence meaning the two segments are the same. Therefore each equation shows the same true statement in a different form

Daniel is buying trophies and mounting stands for the upcoming basketball awards ceremony. The trophies come in boxes of 12 and
AveGali [126]

So, first, you have to find the smallest number that is divisible by both 12 and 10. Which is 60. So, you need 5 boxes of trophies and 6 boxes of stands

Now to get how much it will cost you now multiply the respective costs by the amount of boxes so you get

5 x 10 = 50

6 x 6 = 36

Then you add both

50 + 36 = 86

He will spend a total of $86 on both trophies and stands.

Diameters AB and CD of circle K intersect such that m∠BKD = 100°. The measure of arc AC is:
inn [45]
The diameters intersect at the center of the circle
m<BKD = 100
<AKC is vertical to <BKD, so m<AKC = 100
An arc has the same measure as its central angle,
so m(arc)AC = 100
