You and your friend are practicing for a rowing competition and want to know how far it is to an island in the Indian River Lagoon. You take measurements on your side of the lagoon and make the drawing shown. What is the distance to the island? Please help, I don't have much time.

The drawing is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we can see that AB and DE are both adjacent sides of their respective triangles.

While, CE and BC are both opposite sides of their respective triangles

Now, from your side, x is the distance to the island.

So, from ratio of similar triangles, we can find x.

Thus;

8/x = 3/9

Cross multiply to get;

8 × 9 = 3x

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

Thus, distance from your side to the island is 24 yards

What is the slope of the line?

Slope =

Part B
Connor says that the graph shows that water is flowing at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. Is he correct?

a. Connor is correct because the rate of water flowing is equal to the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is about 2 gallons per minute.

b. Connor is not correct because the rate of water flowing is greater than the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is slower than 2 gallons per minute.

c. Connor is not correct because the rate of water flowing is not equal to the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is slower than 2 gallons per minute.

d. Connor is correct because the rate of water flowing is less than the slope. Water is flowing in at a rate which is faster than 2 gallons per minute.
