Answer:

21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the length of hypotenuse c of a right triangle with legs 'a' and 'b' is ...

c = √(a² +b²)

Here, that means the diagonal length d is ...

d = √(17² +12.75²) = √(289 +162.5625) = √451.5625

d = 21.25 . . . . length of the diagonal

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 3 ft/s from a point 500

Answer:

The rate at which both of them are moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate at which the woman is walking, $\frac{d(w)}{dt}$ = 3 ft/sec

Rate at which the man is walking, $\frac{d(m)}{dt}$ = 2 ft/sec

Collective rate of both, $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt}$ = 5 ft/sec

Woman starts walking after 5 mins so we have to consider total time traveled by man as (5+15) min = 20 min

Now,

Distance traveled by man and woman are $m$ and $w$ ft respectively.

⇒ $m=2\ ft/sec=2\times \frac{60}{min} \times 20\ min =2400\ ft$

⇒ $w=3\ ft/sec = 3\times \frac{60}{min} \times 15\ min =2700\ ft$

As we see in the diagram (attachment) that it forms a right angled triangle and we have to calculate $\frac{dh}{dt}$ .

Lets calculate h.

Applying Pythagoras formula.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $h=\sqrt{(2400+2700)^2+500^2} = 5124.45$

Now differentiating the Pythagoras formula we can calculate the rate at which both of them are moving apart.

Differentiating with respect to time.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $2h\frac{d(h)}{dt}=2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} + \frac{d(500)}{dt}$

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} }{2h}$ ...as $\frac{d(500)}{dt}= 0$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(2400+2700)(5)}{2\times 5124.45}$ ...as $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} = 5$ ft/sec

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =4.9761$ ft/sec

So the rate from which man and woman moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

So you have 85 pages and 10 days.
You would do 85/10 to get 8.5 pages each day. Hope that’s right !

What is the answer to the equation -(-(-(-2)))

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are four negative signs, we have -1 multiplying each other 4 times, multiplying by positive 2. This is then 1 * 2, which is 2.
