At a certain time of day, a tree that is x meters tall casts a shadow that is x - 23 meters long. If the distance from the top of the tree to the end of
the shadow is x + 2 meters, what is the height, x, of the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height, x of the tree is 35 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagorean  theory to answer

(x+2)^2= x^2+(x-23)^2

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+4x+4=[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-46x+529

re-arrange the equation and collect like terms

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-50x+525=0

(x-35)(x-15)=0

x=15 or x=35

x cannot be 15 because 15-23 is a negative answer

therefore the height of tree is 35 m

A water sprinkler covers the area shown in the figure.
It moves through the covered area at a rate of about 5 per second.
What is the measure of the are covered by the sprinkler?
If the sprinkler starts at the far left position,
how long will it take for the sprinkler to reach
the far right position?

Answers

A water sprinkler has a rotational motion in order to reach a broad area

from its stationary location.

The time it takes the sprinkler to reach the far right position is 36 seconds.

Reasons:

The given parameter are;

The angular speed of the water sprinkler, ω = 5° per second

Location where the sprinkler starts = The far left position

Required:

The time it takes the sprinkler to reach the far right position.

Solution;

The angle covered by moving from the far left to the far right, θ = 180°

Time required is given as follows;

[tex]\omega = \mathbf{\dfrac{\theta}{t}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]t = \dfrac{\theta}{\omega}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]t = \dfrac{180 ^{\circ}}{5^{\circ}/s} = 36 \, s[/tex]

The time it takes the sprinkler to reach the far right position, t = 36 seconds.

#14 A scale drawing of a rectangular room measures 2 cm by 4 and 1/4 cm. E
The scale used for the scale drawing is 1/2 cm = 5 ft. Carpeting will cost
$8.50 a square foot. How much will it cost to buy enough carpet to cover
the floor of this rectangular room? (**numbers and decimal only in answer
** NO $$ NO comma**) *

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width

1/2 cm = 5 feet

2cm = x                    Cross Multiply

1/2 x = 2 * 5              Combine

1/2 x = 10                  Multiply both sides by 2

x = 20

Length

1/2 cm = 5 feet

4 1/4 cm = x              Cross Multiply

1/2 x = 4 1/4 * 5         Combine the right

1/2 x = 21.25              Multiply both sides by 2

x = 42.5                    

Room Area

Area = 20 * 42.5

Area = 850 square feet

Cost

1 square foot costs 8.5 dollars.

850 square feet costs 8.5 * 850

850 square feet costs 7225  dollars.

Problema Solution

There were 155 people at the basketball game. Tickets for the game are $2.50 for students and $4 for adults. If the total money received for admission was $492.50, how many students and adults attended the game?

Answer provided by our tutors

let

s = the number of student tickets sold

a = the number of adult tickets sold

there were 155 people at the basketball game

s + a = 155

the total money received for admission was $492.50

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

by solving the system of equations

s + a = 155

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

we find

s = 85 students

a = 70 adults

What is the surface area of a rectangular brick with a length of 12 in, a width of 8 in, and a height of 6 in?

Answers

Answer:

We can apply the formula for surface area of a rectangular prism here. i.e.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2(l×w + h×l + h×w), where l is length, h is height and w is width.

As mentioned above, length = 12 cm, width = 8 cm and height = 6 cm.

Therefore

2(12×7+6×12+6×8)=2(84+72+48)=2(204)=408. So the surface area of the brick is 408 square centimetres.

Explain how to compare decimals. Use the numbers 6.75 and 6.732 to
help you explain this process.

Answers

Answer:

6.75>6.732

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

6.75 and 6.732

We have to compare two given decimal numbers.

First we convert like decimal number

In 6.75 there are two digits after decimal point.

In 6.732 , there are three digits after decimal point

Therefore, we put zero in 6.75 to convert like decimal number

Now, we get

6.750

Unit place of both decimal numbers are same and tenth place of both decimal number are same.

Now, hundredth place of 6.750 is 5 and hundredth place of 6.732 is 3

5 >3

Therefore, 6.750 is greater than 6.732

6.75>6.732

Segments BF, CD, and AE are medians for triangle ABC. Point K is the intersection of all three medians. The measure of segment FK is 3.40 cm and segment EK = 1.63 cm. Find the sum of the lengths of segments AK and BK.

Answers

The point of concurrency of the three median is the centroid of the triangle ABC.

The sum of the lengths of AK and BK is 10.06

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The medians of the triangle ABC = Segments BF, CD, and AE

The  length of segment FK = 3.40

Length of segment EK = 1.63

Required:

The sum of the lengths of segment AK and BK

Solution:

The ratios of the lengths of AK to KE = 2:1

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{AK}{KE} = \dfrac{2}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{AK}{1.63}}[/tex]

1.63 × 2 = 1 × AK

AK = 3.26

Similarly, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{BK}{KF} = \dfrac{2}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{BK}{3.40}}[/tex]

3.40 × 2 = BK

6.80 = BK

Which gives;

AK + BK = 3.26 + 6.80 = 10.06

The sum of the lengths of AK and BK = 10.06

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 40% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 60% pure antifreeze. In order to obtain 180 gallons of a mixture that contains 55% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

First brand =
Second Brand=

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the portion of 60%

180 - x is the portion of 40%

0.60x + 0.40(180 - x) = 0.55(180)

0.60x + 72 - 0.40x = 99

0.20x = 27

x = 135

180 - 135 = 45

First brand = 45 gallons of 40%

Second Brand = 135 gallons of 60%
