Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x be the height of the wall

[tex]tan \ 14 =\dfrac{opposite \ side}{adjacent \ side}\\\\\\0.2493 = \dfrac{3}{x}\\\\\\x*0.25 = 3\\\\x = \dfrac{3}{0.25}\\\\\\x = 12 ft[/tex]

b) Let y be the hieght of  the wall

[tex]Sin \ 75 = \dfrac{opposite \ side}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\0.9659 = \dfrac{y}{15}\\\\\\0.97*15=y\\\\[/tex]

y = 14.6 ft

c) Let the angle formed between the bottom of the ladder to the ground be 'x'

[tex]Cos \x =\dfrac{adjacent \side}{hypotenuse}\\\\Cos \ x =\dfrac{3}{20}\\\\\\Cos \x = 0.15\\\\x = Cos^{-1} \ (0.15)\\\\[/tex]

x = 81°

No, the angle formed between the ground and the ladder is not safe as it is more than 70°

Let the farthest possible distance ladder placed from the wall be 'y'

[tex]Cos \ 70 =\dfrac{adjacent \ side }{hypotenuse}\\\\0.342 = \dfrac{y}{20}\\\\0.3*20=y[/tex]

y = 6 ft

6 ft is the furthest possible distance the ladder can be placed to maintain a safe angle.

Answer:

Philadelphia

Step-by-step explanation:

Philadelphia

in 1990 the population was 1.6 million.in 2000 the population decreased to about 1.5 million.

San Diego

in 1990 the population was 1.1 million.in 200 the population increased to about 1.2 million

Houston

in 1990 the population was 1.6 million.in 2000 the population increased to 2 million.

Phoenix

in 1990 the population was 1 million.in 2000 the population increased to 1.2 million.

Answer: D) Philadelphia

Explanation:

The top bar as a darker shade represents the population in 1990, and the lighter shade down below is the population for the year 2000.

The city of Dallas has its population increase because the lighter shaded bar is longer. This rules out choice A. Choices B and C are ruled out for similar reasoning (Phoenix and San Diego also show population growth).

Only Philadelphia experiences population decline during this time period.

This circle passes through the points $(-1, 2)$, $(3,0)$ and $(9,0)$. The center of the circle is at $(h,k)$. What is the value of $h+k$?

Answers

Answer:

  17

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry program that drew the circle through the three given points wrote this equation for the circle:

  (x -6)^2 +(y -11)^2 = 130

Compared to the standard form equation, ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2 . . . . . . circle with center (h, k) and radius r

we can see that the center is (h, k) = (6, 11).

The sum h+k is 6+11 = 17.

__

Additional comment

The center is at the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of chords of the circle.

Here it is convenient to choose one of them as the horizontal segment with endpoints (3, 0) and (9, 0). The vertical line that bisects this segment is x=(3+9)/2 = 6. So, x=6 is the x-coordinate of the circle center.

We can use endpoints (-1, 2) and (3, 0) as another chord. Its midpoint is (-1+3, 2+0)/2 = (1, 1). The slope of this chord is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0-2)/(3-(-1)) = -1/2. So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -1/(-1/2) = 2, and the equation of that line is

  y -1 = 2(x -1)

For x=6, the point of intersection of the chord bisectors is ...

  y -1 = 2(6 -1) = 10

  y = 11

The coordinates of the circle center are (6, 11), so h+k = 6+11 = 17.

The coffee variety Arabica yields about 750 kg of coffee beans per hectare, while
Robusta yields about 1200 kg per hectare. Suppose that a plantation has a
hectares of Arabica and r hectares of Robusta.

a. Write an equation relating a and r if the plantation yields 1,000,000 kg of coffee.

b. On August 14, 2003, the world market price of coffee was $1.42 per kg of Arabica
and $0.73 per kg of Robusta. Write an equation relating a and r if the plantation
produces coffee worth $1,000,000.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Arabica coffee = 750aRobusta coffee = 1200r

The total amount coffee beans

750a + 1200r = 1000000 kg

b)

The total amount of market price

1.42*750a + 0.73*1200r = 1000000 ⇒1065a + 876r = 1000000 dollars

Answer:

a)   750a + 1200r = 1000000

b)   1065a + 876r = 1000000

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the variables:

Let a = number of hectares of Arabica beansLet r = number of hectares of Robusta beans

Part (a)

Given:

Arabica coffee = 750 kg beans per hectareRobusta coffee = 1200 kg beans per hectare

If the plantation yields 1,000,000 kg of coffee:

⇒ 750a + 1200r = 1000000

Part (b)

Given:

Arabica beans = $1.42 per kgRobusta beans = $0.73 per kg

If the price of Arabica beans is $1.42 per kg, and Arabica yields about 750 kg per hectare, then the price per hectare of Arabica coffee beans is:

⇒ $1.42 × 750 = $1065 per hectare

If the price of Robusta beans is $0.73 per kg, and Robusta yields about 1200 kg per hectare, then the price per hectare of Robusta coffee beans is:

⇒ $0.73 × 1200 = $876 per hectare

Therefore, if the plantation produces coffee worth $1,000,000:

⇒ 1065a + 876r = 1000000

One side of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than another side. If the longer side of this rectangle decreases by 3 inches, and the shorter side increases by 2 inches, the area of the new rectangle equals the area of the original rectangle. Find the dimensions of the original rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Length = 8+7 = 15

Width = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

                       New

Length = x+7 , x+4

Width = x ,x+2

(x+7) x = (x+4)( x+2)

expand and simplify x =8

The length of the shorter side length of original rectangle is 8 inches and of original rectangle longer side length is 15 inches.

Area of rectangle

Let l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

then the area of the rectangle is ab.

How to find the dimensions of the original rectangle?

Given One side of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than another side.

then shorter side length is x and the large side length is 7+x.

then the area of the original rectangle is x(x+7)

Now calculate the sides of the new rectangle.

longer side of this rectangle decreases by 3 then new side is 7+x -3= 4+x

The shorter side increases by 2 inches then x+2.

So new rectangle area is (x+4)(x+2)

Both rectangle area is equal then

(x+4)(x+2) = x(x+7)

x² +2x+4x+8 = x²+7x

x²+6x+8 = x²+7x

x²-x²+7x-6x = 8

x = 8

Since a shorter side length is 8 inches and a longer side length is 8+7 =15 inches.

Your local firefighters are having a fundraiser by selling tickets to an all you can eat pancake extravaganza. A child's ticket cost $6.50 each and an adult's ticket cost $8.50 each. They sell a total of 350 tickets and raise a total of $2695. How many children's tickets were sold?

Please Help!!​

Answers

Answer:

140 child tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of adult tickets

c = number of child tickets

a+c = 350

6.50 c + 8.50a = 2695

Multiply the first equation by -8.50 together

-8.50c  -8.50c =-2975

Add this to the second equation to eliminate a

-8.50c  -8.50c =-2975

6.50 c + 8.50a = 2695

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

-2c   + 0a = -280

Divide by -2

-2c/-2 = -280/-2

c = 140

Amount of time spent by Nathan's family watching the video is 3/4 hour or 45 minutes.

What are Fractions?

Fractions are numbers which are of the form a/b where a and b are real numbers. This implies that a parts of a number b.

Here, a is called the numerator and b is called the denominator.

Given that,

Nathan’s family spent 2 and 1/4 hours visiting national monument near their home.

They watched a video in the visitor center for 1/3 of that time.

Total time spent by Nathan's family in the monument = 2 + 1/4 hours

                                                                                         = 9/4 hours

Fraction of time spend in watching the video = 1/3

Time spend in watching the video = 1/3 × 9/4

                                                         = 3/4 hour

                                                         = 45 minutes

Hence the time spent is 3/4 hour.

Resultant deposited amount = Deposited amount - The amount deducted.

We subtract the amount deducted from the amount deposited to get the resultant deposite amount that will go in bank.

Well, it might be that we deduced more than what we deposite, in that case net deposite will come as negative, indicating that there is deduction instead of deposite.
