A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water. Find the height of the dock.

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.

To Find :

The height of the dock.

Solution :

This will make a right angle triangle as given in link below .

Now , applying Pythagoras theorem :

[tex](2h+3)^2=h^2+12^2\\\\4h^2+9h+9=h^2+144\\\\h^2+4h-45=0\\\\(h-5)(h+9)=0[/tex]

Now , h = 5 or h = -9 .

Now , height cannot be negative .

So , height of the dock is 5 ft .

Hence , this is the required solution .

What is the value of x in this equation? 5x − 2(2x − 1) = 6

Answers

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would factor the -2(2x-1). -2x2x= -4x, -2x-1= 2

the equation would then be 5x-4x+2=6

add the x's together which turns the equation to 1x+2=6

minus 2 from both sides of the equation which gives you x=4

The required value of x would be 4 in the given equation 5x − 2(2x − 1) = 6.

What is the equation?

The equation is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions.

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 4*2 = 8

We have to determine the value of x in the equation

Given that the equations as :

⇒ 5x − 2(2x − 1) = 6

Open the parentheses and apply the multiplicative property,

⇒ 5x - 4x + 2 = 6

Apply the subtraction operation in the terms of x

⇒ x + 2 = 6

⇒ x = 6 - 2

⇒ x =  4

Therefore, the required value of x would be 4 in the equation

Explanation: you have to distribute 7into c and three. So you would multiply 7 by x (or 1x) and 7 times 1 is 7 so it would be 7x and then you would multiply 7 times 3 which is 21 and there are no like terms with 7x and 21 so it’s just 7x+21

Step-by-step explanation:

A number cube is tossed 8 times. What is the probability that the cube never lands on 3?
O A 6.0%
e.
B. 10.4%
O C. 16.7%
e
D. 23.3%

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 23.3\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number cube

Toss = 8

Required

Probability of not landing on 3

First we need to get the probability of landing on 3 in a single toss;

For a number cube;

[tex]n(3) = 1[/tex] and [tex]n(Total) = 6[/tex]

So; the probability is

[tex]P(3) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

First we need to get the probability of not  landing on 3 in a single toss;

Opposite probability = 1;

So:

[tex]P(3) + P(3') = 1[/tex]

Make P(3') the subject of formula:

[tex]P(3') = 1 - P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(3') = 1 - \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]P(3') = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

In 8 toss, the required probability is

[tex]Probability = (P(3'))^8[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Probability = (\frac{5}{6})^8[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{390625}{1679616}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.23256803936[/tex]

Convert to percentage

[tex]Probability = 23.256803936\%[/tex]

Approximate to 1 decimal place:

[tex]Probability = 23.3\%[/tex]

A triangle has a perimeter of 77 centimeters. Each of the two longer sides of the triangle is three times as long as the shortest side. Find the length of each side of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

a = 33cm

b = 33cm

c = 11cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the sides of the triangle are a, b and c

The perimeter of a triangle can be calculated by adding all three sides of the triangle.

Perimeter = a + b + c

Let side c be the shortest side of the triangle.

From the statement "Each of the two longer sides of the triangle is three times as long as the shortest side" we can have that

a = 3c and b = 3c

We can input these values into the perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter = 3c + 3c + c = 77

Perimeter = 7c = 77

c = 11

The shortest side, c is = 11 cm

side a is 3 X 11 = 33cm

side b = 3 X 11 = 33 cm

JL = 28,
KL= 5x + 6, and
JK = 3x + 6,

Answers

Answer:

KL = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, JL is the sum of KL and JK.  So we can say this:

JK + KL = JL

( 3x + 6 ) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 28

8x + 12 = 28

8x = 16

x = 2

So, now we can find KL:

5x + 6 = ?

5(2) + 6 = ?

10 + 6 = ?

16 = ?

So the length of KL is 16.

A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the nearest tenth of a liter, about how many liters of the 5% and the 40% solutions should she mix to get the solution she needs? Choose the equation to match the situation

Answers

Answer:

The volume of 40% solution= 4.3L

The volume of 5% solution= 10L - 4.3L= 5.7L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let consider  x to be the of volume 40% solution

therefore the volume of 5% is said to be:

10 L= 40% solution volume + 5% solution volume

10 L= (x + 5%) solution volume

making 5% solution volume the subject; we have

5% solution volume= 10 L - x

To estimate the value of the volume, we now have:

Volume  of 20% × Concentration of  20%= (Volume of 40%  × concentration40%) + (Volume of 5% × Concentration of 5% )

10L  ×  20%= (x) L × 35% + 10 L × 5%

(x) L × 35 = 10L × 20 - 10 L × 5 = 10 L × 15

[tex]x L = 10L \times \dfrac{15}{35}[/tex]

x = 4.28 L

x [tex]\simeq[/tex] 4.3L

The volume of 40% solution= 4.3L

The volume of 5% solution= 10L - 4.3L= 5.7L

15.3 in scientific notation would be represented as "1.53e+1." 15.3 isn't a very large or tiny number. Usually numbers that would be represented by scientific notation would be numbers such as "600,000,000" or "0.00000012" etc. 15.3 is just a standard decimal so it's not really practical.
