Answer:
1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft
2. Length = 437.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Kate's strides average = 3.5 ft
Find:
1.longest side of the triangle
2.Distance must Kate paddle across
the lake
Computation:
1.longest side of the triangle
longest side of the triangle = AE
So,
longest side of the triangle = 150 + 150
longest side of the triangle = 300
Length of longest side of the triangle = 300 × 3.5 ft
1. Length of longest side of the triangle = 1,050 ft
2.Distance must Kate paddle across
the lake.
We know that,
ΔABD ~ ΔACE
So,
AB / AC = BD / CE
80 / 160 = BD / 250
BD = 125 Strides
Length = 125 × 3.5 ft
2. Length = 437.5 ft
