(a)400ft

|. \(c) length of rope
|. \
|. \
|____________________Boat
350 ft (b)

Pythagorean theorem
a-squared + b-squared = c-squared
400-squared + 350-squared = c-squared
160,000 + 122,500 = c- squared
282,500 = c-squared
Now take the square root of each side of the equation
531.5 = c
The length of the rope is 531.5 feet

Write 24 as a prime factors what is the answer
djverab [1.8K]
Write a number as prime factors means to write the number as a product of numbers, all of which are prime. We start by checking whether the number is divisible by prime numbers, starting from the smallest prime number,2.

let's divide 24 into its factors.

first, it's even, so it must divide by 2

24=2*12

12 is also even, so it must divide by 2:


24=2*12=2*2*6

6 is also even, so it must divide by 2:


24=2*12=2*2*6=2*2*2*3

3 is not even, but it's a prime number.

so the solution is
2*2*2*3
