Both Jonathan and Seth completed their laps in 2 minutes each.
The maximum distance visible on Earth is calculated using the formula 
= your initial height and 
= your secondary height
In this case, 
represents the height of the periscope and 
denotes the height of the ship, leading us to a distance of 832.45553203368 feet. However, rounding to the nearest mile yields the answer as 
If there are any discrepancies, please inform me and I will recalculate!
Response:
Detailed explanation:
Line PU acts as a transversal intersecting parallel lines QR and ST
The angles PRQ and UST sum to 180 degrees
- 15(x+2) = 180 - 135
- 15x + 30 = 45
- 15x = 15
- x = 1
34.56%. This is a binomial probability that can efficiently be calculated using the following formula: Here, n signifies the total number of trials (in this case, 4), x denotes the number of "successes" (which is 3), p is the success probability (60% or 0.6), and q indicates the failure rate (1 - p, thus 0.4). Plugging these values into the formula yields the solution: in percentage form, the probability is found to be 34.56%.
