A man (M) is standing on the bank of a river that is 0.9 miles wide. He wants to reach a house (B) on the opposite shore that is

0.9 miles downstream. The man can row the boat 3 mph and can walk 4.5mph. Find the distance between the house and the point (P) where he should dock his boat in order to minimize the total time he would need to reach the house. Enter the exact answer or round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

The distance between the hose and the point (P) is 0.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Speed of rowing the boat = 3 mph

Speed of waling = 4.5 mph

Since the speed of walking is more than that of to row the  boat, the location of where he should dock his boat in order to minimize the total time he would need to reach the house is the shortest distance across the river to the house

Therefore the location of the point (P) should be directly opposite the house across the water and the distance id 0.9 miles.

Find the area of the trapezoid to the nearest tenth.
erica [24]

Answer:

2.2 metres squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of this trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is denoted by:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}, where b_1 and b_2 are the parallel bases and h is the height

Here, we already know the lengths of the two bases; they are 0.9 metres and 2.3 metres. However, we need to find the length of the height.

Notice that one of the angles is marked 45 degrees. Let's draw a perpendicular line from top endpoint of the segment labelled 0.9 to the side labelled 2.3. We now have a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 2.0 metres. As one of such a triangle's properties, we can divide 2.0 by √2 to get the length of both legs:

2.0 ÷ √2 = √2 ≈ 1.414 ≈ 1.4

Thus, the height is h = 1.4 metres. Now plug all these values we know into the equation to find the area:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}

A=\frac{(0.9+2.3)*1.4}{2}=2.2

The answer is thus 2.2 metres squared.
