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.

Why is 1 the highest value of sine and cosine functions?
Levart [38]

The length of the sides of any right triangle are always less than the length of the hypotenuse. The sine and cosine functions find the ratio between a side and the hypotenuse, so it's always less than 1.
