An offshore oil well is 1 mile off the coast. The oil refinery is 4 miles down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twice as expensive as laying it on land. Find x, and consider how finding x helps determine the most economical path for the pipe from the well to the oil refinery.

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without

yx = 36

step-by-step explanation:

cos f = opposite side/ hypotenuse

cos f = yw / yx

we know cos f = 4/9 and yw =16

4/9 = 16/yx

multiply each side by yx

4/9 yx = 16/ yx * yx

4/9 yx = 16

multiply each side by 9/4

9/4 * 4/9 yx = 16 *9/4

yx = 36
