A ship drops its anchor into the water and creates a circular ripple. The radius of this ripple increases at a rate of 59.97 cm/s. A small rowboat is 55.2 m east and 84.5 m north of the point where the anchor was dropped. How long does the ripple take to reach the rowboat?

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

12
