Two boats leave port at noon. Boat 1 sails due east at 12 knots. Boat 2 sails due south at 8 knots. At 2 pm the wind diminishes

Ivan

Answer:

14.86 knots.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

The boats leave the port at noon.

Speed of boat 1 = 12 knots due east

Speed of boat 2 = 8 knots due south

At 2 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 9 knots:

At 3 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 + 9= 33 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16+8 = 24 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 8+7 = 15 knots

At 5 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 33 + 2 $\times$ 9= 51 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 24 + 2 $\times$ 15 = 54 units due south

Now, the situation of distance traveled can be seen by the attached right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

O is the port and A is the location of boat 1

B is the location of boat 2.

Using pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 51^{2} + 54^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 2601+ 2916 = 5517\\\Rightarrow AB = 74.28\ units$

so, the total distance between the two boats is 74.28 units.

Change in distance per hour = $\dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{74.28}{5} = 14.86\ knots$

A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

P(working product) = .99*.99*.96*.96 = .0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that

P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

where

P(Part-1) = 0.96

P(Part-2) = 0.96

P(Part-3) = 0.99

P(Part-4) = 0.99

As all parts are independent, so the formula is P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P (Working Product) = P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

P (Working Product) = 0.96*0.96*0.96*0.99*0.99

P(Working Product) = 0.903

Sophia was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening, she picked up the cash box and noticed a $5 bill

borishaifa [10]

The first thing we will do in this case is to define variables:
x = number of individual tickets.
y = number of tickets per couple.
We have then that the system of equations that represents the problem is:
10x + 15y = 590
x + 2y = 68
Solving the system we have:
x = 32
y = 18
Substituting we have:
10 (32) + 15 (18) = 590
320 + 270 = 590
590 = 590
Equality is met, therefore the $ 5 bill belongs to the box.
Answer:
the $ 5 bill belong inside the cash box
