The coast guard is out to sea and gets notification that two ships need help. One ship is directly west of the coast guard, and the other is directly south, as shown in the image below. The two ships are 6 miles from each other. Which ship is currently closer to the coast guard?

ship one.

Step-by-step explanation:

you are using Pythagoras

I asked this question as well, and got "ship one is closer to the coast guard" however I still need work to support that answer. Is it right?

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
