Question

Kate wants to paddle

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft

2. Length = 437.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kate's strides average = 3.5 ft

Find:

1.longest side of the triangle

2.Distance must Kate paddle across the lake

Computation:

1.longest side of the triangle

longest side of the triangle = AE

So,

longest side of the triangle = 150 + 150

longest side of the triangle = 300

Length of longest side of the triangle = 300 × 3.5 ft

1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft

2.Distance must Kate paddle across the lake.

We know that,

ΔABD ~ ΔACE

So,

AB / AC = BD / CE

80 / 160 = BD / 250

BD = 125 Strides

Length = 125 × 3.5 ft

2. Length = 437.5 ft
