(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

Help me! Need answers to questions ii and iii please. Thanks x
Debora [2.8K]
Ii.First ,expand: 5(x-2)=32
5x-10=32
bring 10 to the other side (add it to 32)
5x=42
divide both sides by 5 to get x
x=42/5
x=8.4

iii.Expand 5+2(x+3)=21
5+2x+6=21
bring 5 and 6 to the other side
2x=21-5-6
2x=10 divide both sides by 2
x=5
