Answer:

624.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor

Based on the information given we would make use of Pythagorean theorem to determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor using this formula

a²+b²=c²

First step is to plug in the formula by substituting the given value

500²+b²=800²

Second step is to evaluate the exponent

250,000+b²=640,000

Third step is to substract 250,000 from both side and simplify

250,000+b²-250,000=640,000-250,000

b²=390,000

Now let determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor

Parasailor feet=√b²

Parasailor feet=√390,000

Parasailor feet=b=624.49

Parasailor feet=b=624.5 feet (Approximately)

Therefore how many feet from the boat is the parasailor will be 624.5 feet

Answer choices:<br>A (3 , -4)<br>B (4 , -7/2)<br>C (-5 , 8)<br>D (5/2 , -17/4)​
zhuklara [117]

Answer: D (5/2, -17/4)

Step-by-step explanation:  Using elimination your goal is to get rid or 1 variable  so you can solve for the one that's left.  By adding the -2y and 2y you will get 0.  You will also add the 3x+x (4x) and -1+11 (10).  You have now gotten rid of the y and have 4x=10.  By dividing each side by 4 we now know x =2.5.  D is the only possible solution with x=2.5 (5/2) but to solve for y you plug 2.5 in to an equation as x so) x-2y=11

                                                                           2.5-2y=11

                                                                            -2y=8.5                                                                        Answer D (5/2,-17/4)                                      y=-17/4 (4.25)

Patrick is keeping track of how far he jogs each morning.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

21:50

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the ratio of 420 m to 1 km.

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

So,

The ratio becomes,

\dfrac{420\ m}{1\ km}=\dfrac{420\ m}{1000\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{42\ m}{100\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{50}

So, the required ratio is 21:50.
