Question 5 (20 points)
The Coast Guard is called back to work after the government shutdown to find passengers clinging to a buoy. The boat the
passengers were on is 1.7 miles away from shore and the buoy is 1.3 miles from shore. Given the diagram of the situation
with the altitude in the right triangle, how high is the helicopter above the buoy in miles? Round to the nearest tenth of a
mile.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
