Santos is a lifeguard and spots a drowning child 50 meters along the shore and 60 meters from the shore to the child. Santos runs along the shore for a while and then jumps into the water and swims from there directly to the child. Santos can run at a rate of 4 meters per second and swim at a rate of 0.9 meters per second. How far along the shore should Santos run before jumping into the water in order to save the child

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Santos should run approximately 36.145 meters along the shore

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The distance along the shore of the child = 50 meters

The distance from the shore of the child = 60 meters

The rate at which Santos can run = 4 m/s

The rate he can swim = 0.9 m/s

Let 'x' represent the distance he runs along the shore

We have;

The time he spends running on the shore, t₁ = x/4

The time he spends swimming, t₂ = (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9

The total time, T = t₁ + t₂ = x/4 + (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9

To find the maximum, we have;

dT/dx = 0 = d(x/4 + (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9)/dx = 1/4 - (50 - x)/(0.9·(√(60² + (50 - x)²) = 0

1/4 - (50 - x)/(0.9·(√(60² + (50 - x)²) = 0

Simplifying using a graphing calculator gives;

[tex]\dfrac{x - 2000}{9} = \sqrt{x^2-100\cdot x+6,100}[/tex]

1519·x² - 151900·x + 3505900 = 0

x = (151900 ± √((-151900)² - 4×1519×3505900))/(2 × 1519)

x ≈ 63.86 m or x ≈ 36.145 m

We note that the distance from a point x = 63.83 meters and 36.145 meters from where Santos spots the girl to the location of the girl are the same

Therefore, Santos should run approximately 36.145 meters along the shore before jumping into to the water in order to save the child

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the first number, is the value on the x axis, The second number, is the value on the y axis.

So lets look at each point. J is at 0 on the x axis, and 4 on the y axis.

K is at 2 on the x axis, and 3 on the y axis.

L is at 3 on the x axis, and 4 on the y axis.

M is at 4 on the x axis, and 1 on the y axis.

Finally, n is at 1 on the x axis, and 2 on the y axis.

Since we write coordinates as (x, y):

K is (2, 3)

L is (3, 4)

M is (4, 1)

N is (1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The likeliest name for this shape is "rectangular prism."  Let's assume that the length, L, is 8 in; the width, W, is 5 in; and the height, H, is 3 in.

Then the volume of this rectangular prism is V = L * W * H, or

D. -73.7=42

Answers

Answer:

B)   x = 7,   y = 4√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Drop a line from the upper left vertex

This creates a rectangle with a bottom side of 3

and an isosceles right triangle with legs of 4

Therefor

x = 4 + 3

x = 7

y = √(4² + 4²)

y = 4√2

The values of x and y from figure are 7 and 4√2 respectively, option B is correct.

When we analyze the diagram, there is a right angle triangle with opposite side of 4 units.

We have to find the values of x and y.

Sine function is a ratio of opposite side and hypotenuse.

sin45=4/y

1/√2 = 4/y

Apply cross multiplication:

y=4√2.

Now let us find the value of x by cosine function.

Cosine is a ratio of adjacent side and hypotenuse.

cos 45 =x/y

1/√2 = x/4√2

Apply cross multiplication:

x=4

Now from diagram x=4+3 =7

Hence, the values of x and y from figure are 7 and 4√2 respectively.

A recipe for a smoothie for 0.75 pound of strawberries. If Kerry has 3.15 pounds of strawberries, how many batches of the recipe can She make

Answers

Answer:

4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the number of batches of the recipe that can be made ;

We take the divison of the total amount of strawberry by the amount of strawberry required per batch :

Pounds of strawberry per recipe = 0.75 pound

Total pounds of strawberry = 3.15 pound

= 3.15 / 0.75

= 4.2

We round down :

4.2 batches = 4 batches of the recipe can be made

Answer:

  ∠GDH = ∠GHD = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles FGD and EDG are alternate interior angles, so are congruent. That means angle EDG is 100°. The angle sum theorem tells us ...

  ∠EDG = ∠EDH +∠HDG

  100° = 50° +∠HDG

  50° = ∠HDG

You can find the measure of ∠DHG a couple of different ways. It is an alternate interior angle congruent to ∠EDH, so is 50°. It is one of two remote interior angles that have  a sum equal to the exterior angle FGD, so is ...

  ∠DHG = ∠FGD -∠HDG = 100° -50° = 50°

So, angles DHG and HGD both have measures of 50°. When a triangle has two angles with the same measure, it is an isosceles triangle.

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism is 5676.16 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangular base A = bh/2 where b = base = 28 cm and h = height = 22.4 cm.

Now, the volume of the triangular prism, V = area of triangular base, A × height of prism, h'

V = Ah' where h = height of prism = 18.1 cm

So, V = bhh'/2

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation for V, we have

V = bhh'/2

V = 28 cm × 22.4 cm × 18.1 cm/2

V = 14 cm × 22.4 cm × 18.1 cm

V = 5676.16 cm³

So, the volume of the triangular prism is 5676.16 cm³
