Marco needs to climb up to the roof of his house. He placed his ladder so that the bottom of
the ladder was 4 feet away from the wall. If his ladder was 13 feet long, how high up was the
top of the ladder against the wall of the house? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder placed against the wall forms a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = 13 feet

Opposite = 4 feet

Adjacent = x

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

13² = 4² + x²

169 = 16 + x²

169 - 16 = x²

153 = x²

Find the square root of both sides

√153 = √x²

12.369316876852 = x

x = 12.4 feet

Adjacent = x = 12.4 feet

Answer:     5050

=====================================================

Explanation:

This series is arithmetic since the common difference is 1. In other words, we're adding 1 to each term to get the next one.

The quickest way to find the sum is to use the formula below

S = (n/2)*(a+b)

where n is the number of terms, 'a' is the first term, and b is the last (or nth) term. This formula only works for arithmetic series.

We can see that n = 100, a = 1 and b = 100, so....

S = (n/2)*(a+b)

S = (100/2)*(1+100)

S = 50*101

S = 5050

-----------

This can be confirmed by noticing that we have 100/2 = 50 pairs of terms. Pair up the terms such that 1 goes with 100, 2 goes with 99, 3 goes with 98, and so on.

We have these fifty sums

1+100 = 101

2+99 = 101

3+98 = 101

....

48+53 = 101

49+52 = 101

50+51 = 101

We have 50 copies of 101 being added, which leads to 50*101 = 5050

--------------

The slowest and most tedious way to confirm this is to type 1+2+3+...+98+99+100 into your calculator. The result should say 5050. Using a spreadsheet would be a better option instead of using a handheld calculator. I don't recommend this unless you need more proof that we end up with 5050 as the final answer.

The solution of the given function are

Solve x2 + 2 = 6 by graphing the related function. x^2 + 2 is a parabola with a vertex at the point (0, 2). When x = -1 or x = 1, then x^2 + 2 = 3, so we should put the points (-1,3) and (1,3) on the graph. When x = -2 or x = 2, then x^2 + 2 = 6, so we should put the points (-2,6) and (2,6) on the graph. We could continue adding points to the graph if we want, but we already have our two solutions. x^2 + 2 = 6 when x = -2 or x = 2. Therefore, x = -2, and x = 2 are the two solutions to this equation.

Answer: option C.

Answers

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 60 + (x + 10)

90 - 60 = x + 10

30 = x + 10

30 - 10 = x

20 = x

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram we see that ∠60° and ∠(x + 10)° are supplementary, therefore we know that the following is true...

60° + (x + 10)° = 90°

Now we just solve the equation and get the following...

60° + (x + 10)° = 90°

x° + 10° = 30°

x° = 20°

x = 20

A salesman is paid $450 a week, plus a commission of 35 cents for every item that he sells. Write a linear function where the paycheck, P, of the salesman is a function of the number, N, of items he sells. If the salesman only has 1400 items available to sell each week, find the domain and range of the function.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1400×0.35

490+450

940

Answer:

The domain is thus [0, 1400].

The range is thus [$450, $940]

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable function is P(N) = ($450) + ($0.35 / item)*N, where $450 is the base pay per week and N is the number of items sold.

In this case the salesman has only 1400 items available to sell each week.  Therefore N begins at 0 (no items to sell) and ends at 1400 (the max number of items available to sell).  The domain is thus [0, 1400].

The smallest amount the salesman could receive would be when he has not sold any items:  $450.  

The max amount is then $450 + ($0.35/item)(1400 items), or

                                         $450 + $490, or

                                          $940

The range is thus [$450, $940]

A guitar is originally priced at $80. The online retailer gives a discount and the guitar is now priced at $44. Enter the percentage discount for the cost of the guitar. (PLEASE ANSWER THIS I NEED THE ANSWER BY TODAY RIGHT NOW!!!)

Answers

Answer:

The percentage discount for the cost of the guitar is 45%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the difference between the original price and the new price.

80 - 44 = 36

So the actual discount got the price down by $36.

To find the percentage discount we need to ask ourselves the question

36 is what percent of 80?

36 = X percent of 80

In math, of means multiply.

36 = X percent * 80

So to get the "X percent" part alone we divide by 80 on both sides.

36 divided by 80 = 0.45

36 is 45 percent of 80.

The percentage discount for the cost of the guitar is 45%.

Lee y contesta santiago quiere comer la mitad de un pastel y alba quiere un tercio del mismo pastel para repartirlo bien reducen las fracciones a comun denominador ¿en cuantas partes iguales deben dividir el pastel? ¿cuantas partes debe tomar cada uno?

Answers

Answer:

El pastel se debe dividir en 6 partes iguales, de las cuales Santiago debe tomar 3 y Alba debe tomar 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que Santiago quiere comer la mitad de un pastel y Alba quiere un tercio del mismo pastel, para repartirlo bien se deben reducir las fracciones a su común denominador. Así, para determinar en cuántas partes iguales deben dividir el pastel y cuántas partes debe tomar cada uno se deben realizar los siguientes cálculos:

Santiago = 1/2

Alba = 1/3

2 x 3 = 6

Santiago = 1/2 = 3/6

Alba = 1/3 = 2/6

Por lo tanto, el pastel se debe dividir en 6 partes iguales, de las cuales Santiago debe tomar 3 y Alba debe tomar 2.

The isosceles triangle and the rectangle have equal perimeters. The triangle has x+5 on the left side. On its base it has x. The rectangle has x-1 on the left side. On the bottom, it has x+4.

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

The perimeter of the rectangle is twice the sum of the length and the width.

base of triangle = x

two equal sides = x + 5

length of rectangle = x - 1

width of rectangle = x + 4

According to the question,

Perimeter of triangle = perimeter of rectangle

x + x + 5 + x + 5 = 2 ( x - 1 + x + 4)

3 x + 10 = 2 (2 x + 3 )

3 x + 10 = 4 x + 6

4 x - 3 x = 10 - 6

x = 4
