Check Mark

Answer to Problem 26RP

The distance the boat will move forward is 12 feets.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  AB=25',AC=15'.

Formula used:

The below theorem is used:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides”.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 9, Problem 26RP , additional homework tip  1

In right angle triangle,

  a2+b2c2

Calculation:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 9, Problem 26RP , additional homework tip  2

Assume that the dock is perpendicular to the water. Two right angles are formed.

Distance y is that horizontal distance when AB=25' .

Distance z is that horizontal distance when AB=17' .

Distance y and z can be calculated by applying Pythagoras Theorem.

In right angled ΔABC , we get

  (15)2=(y)2+(25)2(225)+y2=625y2=400y=20

Also,

  (15)2+(z)2=(17)2225+z2=289z2=64z=64z=8

  yz=x208=x

  x=12 feets
