It changed 1/2 a mile every hour (60 minutes) So it will take 3 hours (180 minutes) to reach the ground level.

Teach me how to add this problem
Arada [10]

start with the ones and every time it goes over ten take the first number and add it to the tens for example 1+8+4+8=21 take the one and put it in the one spot below. Then take the 2 and add it to the six in the tens spot so it would be Instead of 6+8+3+2 it would be 8+8+3+2 which would equal 21 then put the 1 u=in the ten spot below add the 2 to the hundreds spot making is 5+5+7=4=14 put the 4 Below and add the 1 the the thousands making it 3+4+5+1=13 put the one on the ten thousands and put the three below the whole problem would be 13,411.

a river flows due south at 1.2 miles per hour. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swiming at 3 miles per hou
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The swimmer must move in the direction 338.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the river flows due south at 1.2 miles per hour and the swimmer swims 3 miles per hour due east of the river, since their directions are perpendicular,  the resultant speed is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the two perpendicular directions.

The direction of the resultant speed is thus θ = tan⁻¹( vertical component/horizontal component) where vertical component = 1.2 mph due south = -1.2 mph and horizontal component = 3 mph due east = + 3 mph

So, θ = tan⁻¹(-1.2 mph/+ 3mph)

θ = tan⁻¹(-1.2/3)

θ = tan⁻¹(-0.4)

θ = -21.8°

θ = -21.8° + 360° (since we are in the fourth quadrant- between east and south)

θ = 338.2°

So, <u>the swimmer must move in the direction 338.2°</u>.
