A helicopter floats 120m above a helipad, a dog is 85m from the helipad, if the dog could fly, how far would it have to fly to g
1 answer:
<em>If the dog could fly, it would need to fly 147 meters to catch the helicopter</em>
This is a rather easy and straightforward question. We are going to solve it using Pythagoras theorem. We can interpret the question to be in a triangle where the height of the helicopter above the helipad and away from the dog is the right angle. This also means that the distance needed, between the dog and the helicopter is the hypotenuse.
Using pythagoras theorem, we have
120² + 85² = c²
c² = 14400 + 7225
c² = 21625
c =
c = ±147 meters.
Since distance cant be in the negative, our answer is 147 m

Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to find how long it will take Carlos to have $500 TOTAL, so we need to subtract what he already has ($150) to get the value we want to divide by $25 to figure out how many months it will take him to save up the rest. The given answer above is just a simplified way of writing , if that makes more sense.
