times Theresa’s height. If they are both right, how tall is Theresa?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

From given, we have,

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.  

Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.

Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.

So, we get,

For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T

⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)

For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T

⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)

equating  equations (1) and (2), we get,

3/2 x - 16 =  4/3 x - 6

6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x

-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x

-60 = -x

x = 60 inches.

Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.

Given :-

The sum of two numbers is 1 .

The product of the nos . is 12 .

And we need to find out the numbers. So let us take ,

First number be x

Second number be 1-x .

According to first condition :-

[tex]\rm\implies 1st \ number * 2nd \ number= -12\\\\\rm\implies x(1-x)=-12\\\\\rm\implies x - x^2=-12\\\\\rm\implies x^2-x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\\rm\implies (x-4)(x+3)=0\\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\red{\rm x = 4 , -3 }}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle is cut in half by the bisector.

2x = 172                 Divide both sides by 2

x = 172/2

Round your answer to the nearest foot if necessary .

Answers

Answer:

313 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to explain because its geometry, but there will be a right triangle with angle of 72 and another with angle of 25. do tan72 * 120 - tan25 * 120

The distance from point A to point B is given by the trigonometric relations and d = 313 feet

What are trigonometric relations?

Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and the lengths of the sides of triangles

The six trigonometric functions are sin , cos , tan , cosec , sec and cot

Let the angle be θ , such that

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

cosec θ = 1/sin θ

sec θ = 1/cos θ

cot θ = 1/tan θ

Given data ,

Let the first triangle be represented as ΔAOD

Let the second triangle be represented as ΔBOD

where the distance from point A to point B = d

And , Riley is watching from a vertical distance of 120 feet above the water

Riley measures an angle of depression to the boat at point A to be 18 degrees

Riley takes another measurement and finds the angle of depression to the boat (now at point B) to be 65 degrees

So , ∠BOD = 25° and ∠AOD = 72°

From the trigonometric relations ,

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan AOD = AD / OD = tan 72°

tan 72° = 3.087

tan BOD = tan 25° = 0.47

Now , the measure of AD = 120 x 3.087 = 369.6 feet

And , the measure of BD = 120 x 0.74 = 56.4 feet

Therefore , the distance from A to B = 369.6 feet - 56.4 feet

d = 313 feet

Hence , the distance is 313 feet

The outer dimensions of a closed rectangular cardboard box are 8 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 12 centimeters, and the six sides of the box are uniformly 12 centimeter thick. A closed canister in the shape of a right circular cylinder is to be placed inside the box so that it stands upright when the box rests on one of its sides. Of all such canisters that would fit, what is the outer radius, in centimeters, of the canister that occupies the maximum volume

Answers

Answer:

Vmax = 192.33 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: An error in the problem statement. The sides of the box could not be 12 cm. We assume 1.5 cm

Inside dimensions of the box:

Outer dimensions :          12          10         8

 2 *  1.5   =  3                      3            3         3

Inside dimensions:            9            7         5

The volume of a right circular cylinder is:

V(c)  =  π*r²*h              r is the radius of the base and  h the height

By simple inspection is obvious that volume maximum will occur when r is maximum, and r is maximum, only when the base of the cylinder is in the rectangle 12*10. ( Inside  dim  9*7 ) In that case r  =  7/2   r = 3.5 cm

Then the height is 5 cm.

And the maximum volume of the cylinder is:

Vmax = 3.14* ( 3.5)²*5

Vmax = 192.33 cm³

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

cos H = GH/FH

FH^2=20^2+15^2

FH^2=400+225=625

FH=25

cos H= 15/25=3/5=0.6

Answer:  0.6

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

Explanation:

Before we can apply a trig ratio, we need to find the length of the hypotenuse. Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

c = sqrt(15^2 + 20^2)

c = 25

The hypotenuse is 25 units long, which is the length of segment FH.

Now we can find the cosine ratio

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(H) = GH/FH

cos(H) = 15/25

cos(H) = 3/5

cos(H) = 0.6

Answers

Answer:

(a) $ 30000 + 1500 t

(b) $ 52500

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial profit = # 30,000

Profit increases every year by 5 %.

(a) Let the profit after t year is

P = $ 30,000 + 5% of 30,000 t  = $ 30000 + $ 1500 t

(b) t = 15 years

P = $ 30000 + $ 1500 x 15 = $ 52500  

Using exponential function concepts, it is found that:

a) The model is: [tex]A(t) = 30000(1.05)^t[/tex]

b) The prediction for her profits in 15 years is of $62,368.

What is an exponential function?

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

Item a:

Her business made $30,000 in profits the first year, hence [tex]A(0) = 30000[/tex].Her annual profits have increased by an average of 5% each year since then, hence [tex]r = 0.05[/tex].

Then, the model is:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 30000(1 + 0.05)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 30000(1.05)^t[/tex]

Item b:

In 15 years, the estimate for the profits is of:

[tex]A(15) = 30000(1.05)^{15} = 62368[/tex]

The prediction for her profits in 15 years is of $62,368.
