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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles in a triangle

∠CBV is an exterior angle and ∠BCD and ∠CDB are ∠CBV's opposite interior angles

This means that ∠BCD + ∠CDB = ∠CBV

If we are given that ∠CBV = 9x - 3, ∠BCD = 5x + 15 and ∠CDB = 30

Then 9x - 3 = 5x + 15 + 30

                    ^ (Note that we just created an equation we can use to solve

                        for x )

We then use the equation we created to solve for x

9x - 3 = 5x + 15 + 30

step 1 combine like terms

30 + 15 = 45

we now have 9x - 3  = 5x + 45

step 2 add 3 to each side

-3 + 3 cancels out

45 + 3 = 48

we now have 9x = 5x + 48

step 3 subtract 5x from each side

9x - 5x = 4x

5x - 5x cancels out

we now have 4x = 48

step 4 divide each side by 4

48 / 4 = 12

4x / 4 = x

we're left with x = 12

Answer:

30+5x+15=9x-3

9x-5x =45+3

4x=48

x =12

Pranav paints a wall of area 53m^2 one litre of paint covers an area of 4.5m^2 paint is sold in 2.5 litre tins, each costing $24.75 Pranav buys the least number of tins to paint this wall work out the cost of the paint

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the paint will be $123.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pranav paints a wall of area 53m ^ 2, and one liter of paint covers an area of 4.5m ^ 2, and paint is sold in 2.5 liter tins, each costing $ 24.75, if Pranav buys the least number of tins to paint this wall, to determine the cost of the paint, the following calculation must be performed:

(53 / 4.5) = liters of paint needed

11.77 = liters of paint needed

11.77 / 2.5 = tins of paint needed

4.71 = tins of paint needed (rounds to 5)

5 x 24.75 = Total cost

123.75 = Total cost

The cost of the paint will be $123.75.

(2+x)5=11

Answers

I am pretty sure the answer is 3.5.

(2+x)5=11

(2+x)=11/5

(2+x)= 5.5

x= 5.5-2

x= 3.5

Answer:

x = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 5 to (2 + x) to make it 10 + 5x = 11. You can rewrite it to make it 5x + 10 = 11 to make it easier if you want but you dont have to. Subtract the ten from both sides to make it 5x = 1. Divide both sides by 5 to get 0.2. If you want to double check your answer you can substitute 0.2 in for x in (2 + x)5 = 11 or in 5x + 10 = 11. It doesn't matter which.

Determine the probability of three sunny days in a row when the probability of rain on each day is 20%
A) 80 %
B) 0.8%
C) 51.2%
D) 60 %

Answers

The probability of 3 sunny days in a row is P = 0.512, so the correct option is C.

How to find the probability?

We know that the probability of rain each day is 20%. Then the probability of a sunny day is 100% - 20% = 80%.

Writing this probability in the decimal form we get 0.8.

Now, to get 3 sunny days in a row, we need to have the probability 0.8 3 times (and remember that the probabilities multiply between them) so the joint probability is:

[tex]P = (0.8)^3 = 0.512[/tex]

To get it in percentage form, we multiply it by 100%.

P = 0.512*100% = 51.2%

So the correct option is C.

George has to pay $30 in taxes for every $100 that he earns. Last summer, he earned $3680. How much did he pay in taxes?(must use direct proportion) pleaseee help

Answers

Answer:

$1,140

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up a fraction and solve (We are doing this to make it simpler to solve. So let us use "x" to represent how much he paid in taxes. )

[tex]\frac{30}{100}=\frac{x}{3680}[/tex]

Step 2: Solve; Divide the given values (The given values are 100 over 30. We are doing this because we need to know the difference between those two figures.) (Trick: For this case, all you need to do is cancel both zeros and the answer is 0.3 once divided)

[tex]\frac{30}{100}[/tex]

Cancel both zeros

[tex]\frac{30}{100}\\\\= \frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\frac{3}{10}\\\\= 3 \div 10\\\\= 0.3[/tex]

Step 3: Multiply the result to the last value (Since we've found the difference between them by division, we will have to do the opposite operation in order to find the answer.)

[tex]0.3\\\\0.3 \times 3680\\\\=1140[/tex]

Therefore, George paid 1140 dollars in taxes last summer.

17 like badminton and football, 20% of the students like all three games and 8 students don't like any
game. Draw a Venn-diagram and find the total number of students in the class.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent those that like badminton, F represent those that like football and V represent those that like volleyball. Let x represent the total number of people.

n(B) = (1/3)x, n(F) = (3/4)x, n(V) = (5/6)x

n(B∩F∩V) = 20% of x = 0.2x

n(B∩F) = 17, hence n(B∩F∩V') = 17 - 0.2x

n(V∩F) = 60, hence n(B'∩F∩V) = 60 - 0.2x

n(B∩V) = 65, hence n(B∩F'∩V) = 65 - 0.2x

n(B∪F∪V)' = 8

n(B∩F'∩V') = (1/3)x - 0.2x - (17 - 0.2x) - (65 - 0.2x) = 0.533x - 82

n(B'∩F∩V') = (3/4)x - 0.2x - (17 - 0.2x) - (60 - 0.2x) = 0.95x - 77

n(B'∩F'∩V) = (5/6)x - 0.2x - (60 - 0.2x) - (65 - 0.2x) = 1.033x - 125

Therefore:

x = n(B∩F'∩V') + n(B'∩F∩V') + n(B'∩F'∩V) + n(B∩F∩V) + n(B∩F∩V') + n(B'∩F∩V) + n(B∩F'∩V) + n(B∪F∪V)'

x = (0.533x - 82) + (0.95x - 77) + (1.033x - 125) + (0.2x) + (17 - 0.2x) + (60 - 0.2x) + (65 - 0.2x) + 8

x = 2.1166x - 134

1.1166x = 134

x = 120

Therefore there was 120 students

[tex](x_2-x_1,y_2-y_1)[/tex]
