What is the longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism that is 15 cm long,
1 answer:
Assuming you want to find the length of the longest line segment, you would have to first determine where the longest line segment is.
If you can't do this straight away, then it'd be good to draw a diagram as I shown below, to visualise.
From there, you apply pythagora's theorem to the dimensions of the rectangular prism to find the length of the longest line segment.
I have attached the solution in a photo, including some explanation. Hope it helps :)

Answer:
Answer:
(a). 2399.23 meters.
(b). 1944.19 meters apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
We have been given that standing on a cliff 380 meters above the sea, Pat sees an approaching ship and measures its angle of depression, obtaining 9 degrees.
(a) We are asked to find how far from the shore is the ship.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with its adjacent side.
Therefore, the ship is approximately 2399.23 meters away from the shore.
Therefore, the both ships are approximately 1944.19 meters apart.
