Answer:
√254 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This is basically a triangle, with a height of 2, and hypotenuse of 16.
Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=h^2) we can find the other side.
2^2+b^2=16^2
4+b^2=256
b^2=254
b=√254
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
- Distance is 142.2 m, correct to 1 decimal place
- Time is 7 seconds, correct to nearest second
<h3>To find:</h3>
- Upper bound for the speed
<h3>Solution </h3>
<em>Upper bound for the speed = upper bound for distance/lower bound for time</em>
- Upper bound for distance = 142.25 m (added 0.1/5 = 0.05)
- Lower bound for time = 6.5 seconds (subtracted 1/2 = 0.5)
<u>Then, the speed is:</u>
- 142.25/6.5 = 21.88 m/s
- 21.88 = 21.9 m/s correct to 1 decimal place
- 21.88 = 22 m/s correct to nearest m/s
