Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that a horizontal translation (shift) in 3 units to the right involves directly subtracting 3 from the variable x (horizontal axis variable) , and that moving the function up 5 units involves adding to the whole function 5 units. That is:

3:8 can also be written as 3/8
12:32 can also be written as 12/32

So thus 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32
His hand slipped and she could not hold on any longer. He reached out to stop her from falling but all he caught was a single hair. She fell into the abyss and disappeared out of sight. He stared into the emptiness that had stolen his love away from him and began to cry. She was gone. He heard a faint whisper in the background that would haunt him for ever more 'Andrew, what did you do wrong?'
Sorry, I like creative writing.
Answer:
37.59 nautical miles
Explanation:
Distance = Speed x Time
The speed of the first ship = 12 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The speed of the second ship = 22 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The diagram representing the ship's path is drawn and attached below:
The angle at port = 90 degrees.
The triangle is a right triangle.
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
![\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ c^2=18^2+33^2 \\ c^2=324+1089 \\ c^2=1413 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1413} \\ c=37.59\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20c%5E2%3Da%5E2%2Bb%5E2%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D18%5E2%2B33%5E2%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D324%2B1089%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D1413%20%5C%5C%20c%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1413%7D%20%5C%5C%20c%3D37.59%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The two ships are 37.59 nautical miles apart after 1.5 hours.
X would equal 10. Hope this helps!
