Suppose a great white shark is trying to reach a point that is 1200 m deep and 1850 m west of its starting point assuming the shark swims in a straight line what distance in meters would the great white need to swim to reach its destination round your answer to the nearest meter

The distance = 2205 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The deep of the point = 1200 meters

∵ The point is 1850 meters west from the starting point

∵ The deep is ⊥ to the west

So to find the straight distance that the shark need to swim,

we will use Pythagoras theorem

∴ Distance = √(1200² + 1850²) = 2205 meters

good luck on your studies! : )

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
