Answer:

in right angled triangle ABC

hypotenuse [h]=65ft

base[b]=xft

height[p]=63ft

by using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

65²=63²+x²

x²=65²-63²

x=√256

x=16feet

so <em><u>the third side of the </u></em><em><u>sail</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>6</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

A scuba diver descends in the water at a rate of 23 1/2
Makovka662 [10]

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes is 5.1 ft.

Given:

A scuba diver descends in the water at a rate of 23 1/2  feet per minute for 2.6 minutes.

A scuba diver ascends at a rate of 28 feet per minute for 2 minutes after seeing a big fish.

To find :

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes.

Solution:

Rate of a scuba diver descending in the water for 2.6 minutes = R _1

R_1= 23\frac{1}{2}ft/min=\frac{47}{2} ft/min

Distance covered by a scuba diver in 2.6 minutes = d_1

d_1=R_1\times 2.6min=\frac{47}{2} ft/min\times 2.6 min=61.1 ft

Rate of a scuba diver ascending for 2 minutes = R _2

R_2= 28ft/min

Distance covered by a scuba diver in 2 minutes = d_2

d_2=R_2\times 2min=28 ft/min\times 2 =56 ft

The position of scuba diver after 4.6 minutes relative to sea level:

d_1-d_2=61.1 ft-56 ft=5.1ft

The scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes is 5.1ft.

QUICK!!!
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option B is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An are CE and an inscribed angle CBE.

Measure of inscribed angle CBE = 25 °

We have to find the measure of the arc CE.

Concept:

  • An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle.
  • The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure the intercepted arc.
  • Measure of inscribed angle = 1/2 × measure of intercepted arc .

To find the measure of arc CE.

⇒ \angle CBE = \frac{1}{2} \times m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 2\times \angle CBE = m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 2\times 25 = m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 50 = m\ (arc\ CE)

Measure of intercepted arc CE = 50 degrees.

The measure of arc CE = 50° so, option B is the right choice.

More than means addition.

C is the correct option.

= (2x + 4) + 9 - 4y + 3x

= 2x + 4 + 9 - 4y + 3x

= 5x + 13 - 4y

= 5x - 4y + 13
