Time and Tide is the name of the question. A ship is at anchor. Over its side hangs a rope ladder with rungs a foot apart. The tide rises at the rate of 8 inches per hour. At the end of six hours how much of the rope ladder will remain above water, assuming that 8 feet were above water when the tide began to rise? Using complete sentences explain how you determined your answer.

Hey there!

First, I converted 8 feet to inches. I knew that 12 inches were in a foot, so 96 inches are in 8 feet. If the water rises at 8 inches per hour, at the end of 6 hours, the water will rise 48 inches. Finally, subtracting 48 from 96, we get that there are 48 inches of rope above the water's surface.

Let me know if this helps :)

i do not know the answer

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
