Answer:

The distance between two ships to the nearest tenth place is, 24.1 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2 = \text{Adjacent side}^2 +\text{Perpendicular side}^2

As per the statement:

Two ships are near a buoy in the open ocean. One ship is 20 km due north of the buoy, and the other ship is 13.5 km due east of the buoy.

You can see the diagram for this problem as shown below.

Let x be the distance between the two ships.

Hypotenuse side = x km

Adjacent side = 13.5 km

Perpendicular side = 20 km

Apply the Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 = 13.5^2+30^2 = 182.25+400 = 582.25

⇒x = \sqrt{582.25}

Simplify:

x = 24.129857024 km

Therefore, the distance between two ships to the nearest tenth place is, 24.1 km

The number 3456 is divisible by wich single-digit number?
Gnesinka [82]

I'm assuming what you mean is what can you divide 3456 by to get a natural number.

First of all every number is divisible by 1.  

Every even number is divisible by 2, so since 3456 is an even number, it can be divided by 2.  That would equal 1728.

2456 can also be divided by 3, to get 1782.  

You can also divide it by 4, to get 865.

Divided by 6, it's 576.

Divided by 8, it's 432.

And lastly, 3456 divided by 9 is 384.

So, there isn't just one single-digit number you can divide 3456 by to get a natural number.  You can divide it by 1,2,3,4,6,8, and 9.

Hope that helps!
