Answer:
Distance covered by the bird before meeting the water is: 51.264 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that if the bird catches the fish in 2 seconds, then the fish was able to dive down a total of 6 feet before being caught:

So the bird needs to fly in the direction of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle (see attached image) that has one leg of length (24 ft + 6 ft) = 30 ft, and another one 22.5 ft (half the width of the river.
Such hypotenuse is (using Pythagoras theorem):

Now, in order to find the distance D the bird covers from the top of the tree to the water (marked in red in our image), we use similar triangles. The bigger triangle is that of legs 60 ft and 22.5 ft and hypotenuse 64.08 ft.
The smallest triangle we use in the proportion is the one shaded yellow in the image, which has one leg equal to 24 ft, and unknown hypotenuse:
So we make the proportion between known legs, and hypotenuses:

Answer:
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
Each cup is 50 cents which is basically $0.50
Multiply $0.50 by 120= $60
Because you and your three friends equal 4 total people,
divide 60 by 4 to get your own profit:
60/4=15
The researcher used random sampling.
Explanation: He is taking people young and old,tall and short, and asking them if they like the food or not so he doesn’t get biased opinions based on that persons age or any other trait.
