Establish two right triangles, both with the height of the pole, h.
Call x the distance from the pole to one stake. Then the distance from the other stake to the pole is 6 -x.
Apply Pytagora's equation to both triangles.
1) h^2 = 7^2 - x^2
2) h^2 = 8^2 - (6-x)^2
Eaual 1 to 2
7^2 - x^2 = 8^2 - 6^2 +12x -x^2
12x = 7^2 -8^2 +6^2 = 49 -64 + 36 = 21
x = 1.75
Substitue x-value in 1
h^2 = 49 - (1.75)^2 = 45.94
h = sqrt(45.94) = 6.78
Answer: option d.
Answer:
C
I may be wrong sorry if I am
It is unclear what you want to do, but in the case where they give you the length and the width, it is most likely they are asking for either area or perimeter. For Area, it is length times width.
A = l x w
A = 60 yards x 50 yards
A = 3000 square yards.
For Perimeter of the rectangle, it is 2 of the lengths plus 2 of the widths.
P = 2 ( 60 yards ) + 2 ( 50 yards )
P = 120 yards + 100 yards
P = 220 yards
I hope this helps :-)
Answer:
Total Distance : 1*60 +60=120
Total time taken = 1+ 60/30= 1+2=3
Hence average speed for the trip = 120/3= 40 kmph
Hence Answer is 40
