Un guardacostas observa un barco desde una altura de 5 metros. El barco está a una distancia horizontal del punto de observación de 12 metros. ¿Cuál es la longitud, en metros, de la visual del guardacostas al barco?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the length in meters of the coastguard line of the sight to the ship is 13 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the length in meters of the coastguard line of the sight to the ship is as follows:

Here we use the Pythagoras theorem i.e. shown below;

H ^ 2 = 5 ^ 2 +  12^ 2

H^2 = 25 + 144

H^2 = 169

H = 13 meter

Hence, the length in meters of the coastguard line of the sight to the ship is 13 meter

The same is to be considered
