Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 17^2 - 8^2

x^2 = 225

x = sqrt(225) = 15

The distance is 15 ft

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution given:

base=8ft

hypotenuse=17ft

perpendicular=?

By using Pythagoras law

hypotenuse ²=perpendicular ²+base²

17²=perpendicular ²+8²

perpendicular ²=17²-8²

perpendicular=[tex]\sqrt{225}=15[/tex]

the distance between the ground and the top of the ladder, x is 15ft.

was needed to fill the cylinders?
Record your answer and fill in the bubbles on your answer. (If it’s wrong or random you will be reported)
document. Be sure to use the correct place value.

Answers

Answer: what’s the answer ?

Step-by-step explanation:

If each cylinder is 4 feet tall and has a diameter of 1 foot then the amount of sand needed to fill the cylinders is 19 cubic feet.

Given that there are 6 cylindrical posts protecting the equipment

To find tge amount of sand needed for cylinders,

We need to find the volume of each cylinder.

The cylinder is 4 feet tall and has a diameter of 1 foot,

Height is 4 feet

Diameter is 1 foot and radius is 1/2 feet.

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

=3.14×(1/4)(4)

=3.142 cubic feet.

As there are six cylinders.

Multiply 6 with 3.142

Amount of sand needed = 6×3.142

= 18.852 cubic feet.

Miguel bikes 23 km per hour and starts at mile 10. Gabby bikes 28 km per hour and starts at hour 0. Which system of linear equations represents this situation

Answers

Answer:

Miguel: d = 23t + 10

Gabby: d = 28t

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation for each case in slope-intercept form, d = mt + b

Where,

d = total distance

t = time

m (rate) = distance/hr

b = initial value

✔️ Miguel:

m = 23 km/hr

b = 10 mile

Equation: subtitle the values into d = mt + b

d = 23t + 10

✔️ Gabby:

m = 28 km/hr

b = 0 mile

Equation: subtitle the values into d = mt + b

d = 28t + 0

Jack took out a 6-year loan for $25,000 to purchase a boat at a 4.5% interest rate. If the interest is compounded monthly, what will he have paid total over the course of the loan?

Answers

Answer: $32,732.58

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total loan payment over the course of the loan period, use the future value formula:

= Loan amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

As this loan is compounded monthly, you need to convert certain terms to monthly figures:

Number of periods = 6 * 12 months = 72 months

Interest = 4.5 / 12 = 0.375%

Total payment:

= 25,000 * ( 1 + 0.375%)⁷²

= $32,732.58

He will have to pay $34,236.31 over the course of the loan.

Using the compound interest formula expressed as:

[tex]A =P(1+r/n)^{nt}[/tex]

P is the principal = $25000

r is the rate = 4.5% = 0.045

t is the time in years = 6 years

n is the compounding amount = (12)monthly

Substitute into the formula:

[tex]A =25000(1+0.045/12)^{12(7)}\\A=25000(1.36945)\\A = \$34,236.31[/tex]

Hence he will have to pay $34,236.31 over the course of the loan

Write an equation that represents the AREA of the garden

Find the value of x using the square root method

What is the length of the side of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

400 = (x - 10)²

x² -20x -300 = 0

x = 30 and x = -10

Length side of the garden = 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of square garden = 400 square feet

Length side of the garden = (x - 10) feet

Find:

Length side of the garden

Computation:

Area of square = side²

Area of square garden = Length side of the garden²

400 = (x - 10)²

400 = x² -20x + 100

x² -20x -300 = 0

x² -30x  + 10x -300 = 0

x(x - 30) + 10(x - 30) = 0

(x - 30)(x + 10) = 0

So,

x = 30 and x = -10

Use x = 30 positive number

Length side of the garden = (x - 10) feet

Length side of the garden = (30 - 10) feet

Length side of the garden = 20 feet

Three friends will run race. If three friends no ties, in how many distinct order can these 3 friends finish the race?​

Answers

Answer:  6 different ways

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

Explanation:

Let's name the friends A, B, C

If person A is first, then B or C could be second and third.

So we have ABC or ACB as two possible outcomes.

If B is first, then either A is second or C is second. Meaning we have BAC or BCA.

If C is first, then we have CAB or CBA

Overall here are the 6 different ways to have the runners finish

ABC ... A is firstACB ... A is firstBAC ... B is firstBCA ... B is firstCAB ... C is firstCBA ... C is first

Note how for the first slot we have 3 ways to pick the winner. Then after that selection is made, we have 2 choices left, then 1 choice for third place. Therefore, 3*2*1 = 6 different outcomes are possible.

We can use the factorial operation on the calculator to do this with one button press, so we'd say 3! = 6. The exclamation mark means "multiply from 3 down to 1, counting down the whole time".

Another example of a factorial is:

A test was given to 120 students, and the scores approximated a normal distribution If
the mean score was 72 with a standard deviation of 7, approximately what percent of the
scores were 65 or higher?

Answers

Answer:

84.13% aka. 101/120 students

Step-by-step explanation:

P(X>65) = normalcdf(65,100,72,7) = 0.8413130544 ≈ 0.8413 ≈ 84.13%

Therefore, about 84.13% of the scores were 65 or higher, meaning that about 101 students got a score of 65 or higher.

84% of students have a score of 65 or higher.

What is Normal Distribution?

'Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution wherein values lie in a symmetrical fashion mostly situated around the mean.'

According to the given problem,

For this sum, the mean and standard deviation are mentioned.

Mean = 72

S.D = 7

We will be using the bell curve of normal distribution for solving this sum.

Area under the curve that represents more than 65:

=  34% + 34% + 13.50% + 2.35% + 0.15%

=  84%

Hence, we can conclude that 84% of the scores were 65 or higher.

How to get that answer:

The lowest height is 3^8, and the highest point is 3 times that value.

We can think of that second "3" as really 3^1. This is because x^1 = x for any real number.

Multiply 3^8 and 3^1 using the rule that a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). We add the exponents together.

Therefore, 3^8*3^1 = 3^(8+1) = 3^9
