Chapter 2: Q9. (page 112)

Waves The highest ocean wave ever reliably measured was sighted by the U.S.S. Ramapo during a typhoon in 1933. The wave was about 37 yards high. Use a conversion factor to find this height in feet.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Area of triangle =16x+24 square units.

Option B is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1-Conversion factor that converts yards to feet

The statement 1yard = 3 feet give two conversion factors.

  1. Factor 1:1yard3feet
  2. Factor 2:3feet1yard
02

Step-2-Calculating height in feet

Height of wave = 37 yards.

Conversion factor that converts yards to feet has feet in numerator and yard in denominator.

Using this we know that we need to multiply with factor 2 to get value of height in feet

Height of wave = 37yards脳3feet1yard

Cancelling yard unit in numerator and denominator, we get,

Height of wave = 37脳3feet.

Height of wave = 111feet.

03

Step-3-Conclusion

Therefore, the height of wave = 111feet.
