A boat is pulled toward a dock by means of a rope wound on a drum that is located 6 ft above the bow of the boat. If the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 5 ft/s, how fast (in ft/s) is the boat approaching the dock when it is 34 ft from the dock?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height of the dock (h) = 6

Let represent d to be the distance between the boat and the dock

Let the length of the rope between the boat and the drum be denoted by (l)

Then, the rate of change for the length of the rope be:

dl/dt = -5 ft/s

Using Pythagoras rule to determine the relationship between these values, we have:

We relate to:  

From the question;

l = 34,

So to find , we get;

d = 33.46

So, we have:

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
