Given :
A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.
To Find :
The height of the dock.
Solution :
This will make a right angle triangle as given in link below .
Now , applying Pythagoras theorem :
Now , h = 5 or h = -9 .
Now , height cannot be negative .
So , height of the dock is 5 ft .
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:
(0, 25) or (3, 20) or (6, 15) or (9, 10) or (15, 0)

Answer:
x = 26/45
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. 10 bricks
B. 4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Water = 39 pounds
brick dust = 48 pounds
Total mixture = water + brick dust
= 39 + 48
= 87 pounds
She spills 13 pounds of the mixture while stirring
Remaining mixture = Total mixture - Spillage
= 87 pounds - 13 pounds
= 74 pounds
The mixture is then poured into small dirt holes to make bricks. Each brick requires 7 pounds of mixture
Number of bricks made = Remaining mixture / pounds per brick
= 74 pounds / 7 pounds
= 10 bricks remaining 4 pounds of the mixture
A. What is the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make?
10 bricks
B. How many pounds of mixture will be washed out of the bucket if Lynn makes the greatest number of bricks?
4 pounds
A+(-1.3)=-4.5
Add 1.3 to both sides of the equation
a=-3.2
