A castle guard is standing on the opposite side of an 8-foot moat and wants to reach a window that is 15 feet above the ground. The guard
props a ladder against the castle wall to form a right triangle as shown. Approximate the length of the ladder needed to reach the window to
the nearest tenth of a foot.

A Castle Guard Is Standing On The Opposite Side Of An 8-foot Moat And Wants To Reach A Window That Is

Answers

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the length of the ladder needed to reach the window is given by:

a. 17.0 ft.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs [tex]l_1[/tex] and [tex]l_2[/tex] of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

[tex]h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2[/tex]

In this problem, the length of the ladder in feet is the hypotenuse, considering legs [tex]l_1 = 8, l_2 = 15[/tex].

Hence:

[tex]h^2 = 8^2 + 15^2[/tex]

[tex]h = \sqrt{8^2 + 15^2}[/tex]

h = 17.0 ft.

If you deposit $350 in an account that compounds interest continuously at 6.3%, how long will ittake to double your money?

Answers

Answer:

11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Double of the amount deposited = $350 × 2 = $700

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

R = 6.3%

Hence,

r = 6.3/100

r = 0.063 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t = time, the formula is given as:

t = ln(A/P) / r

A = Doubled amount = $700

P = Principal = Initial amount = $350

t = ln(700.00/350.00) / 0.063

t = 11.002 years

Approximately , t = 11 years

Therefore, it will take 11 years for your money to double.

Find numbers a and b, or k, so that f is continuous at every point.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{k = 7} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When interpreting this piecewise function, to determine whether or not the function is continuous, the limit to the left must be the same as the limit to the right.

Therefore to find an a value where the function is continuous at every point, we must determine where the limit is for the function.

In this case, the function is continuous at x = 7.

lim x→7 [x²] = lim x→7 [kx].

(7)² = k(7)

49 = 7k

÷7 ÷7

7 = k

k = 7.

At a sale on winter clothing, Cody bought four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00. Tori bought three pairs of gloves and four hats for $31.00. What were the prices for the gloves and hats?​

Answers

Answer:

gloves cost $5

hats cost $4

Step-by-step explanation:

four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00

4g + 4h = 36

three pairs of gloves and four hats for $31.00

3g + 4h = 31

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

Subtract the second equation from the first

  4g + 4h = 36

-( 3g + 4h = 31 )

––––––––––––

   g           = 5

gloves cost $5

substitute for g = 5 into either equation

4(5) + 4h = 36

20 + 4h = 36

Subtract 20 from both sides

4h = 16

Divide both sides by 4

h = 4

hats cost $4

a) En la inauguración de unos Juegos Olímpicos, los 38 representantes de una nación quieren desfilar en columnas de 6, ¿es posible?

Esto se calcula como

38 representantes / 6 columnas

= 6 2/6 = 6 1/3 columnas

No, no es posible, tendríamos 7 columnas con 6 columnas con representantes iguales de 6 y la séptima columna tendría solo 2 representantes allí

b) ¿Cómo podrían desfilar en columnas iguales?

Algebra Mary decided to travel from home to school which is 600 metres away. She started by walking “x” metres, then ran for twice the distance she walked. Mary then decided to take the bus for the rest of the journey which 65 metres more than the distance she ran. a) State an expression in terms of x for; i) the distance Mary ran [1 mark] ii) the distance Mary travelled by bus . [2 marks] iii) the total distance travelled [ 2 marks] b) Using the balancing method, solve the equation, hence state the distance Mary walked. [4 marks]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by walking = x

i) The distance Mary run = 2 *x = 2x

ii) Distance traveled by bus = 65 m more than the distance she ran

                                             = 65 m more than 2x

Distance traveled by bus  = 2x + 65

Total distance traveled = 600 m

x + 2x + 2x +65 = 600

            5x + 65 = 600

                   5x = 600 - 65

                   5x = 535

                     x = 535/5

x = 107

Distance Mary walked = 107 m

34,833.21 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

r is the radius

h is the height

Given

height h = 19 3/4 ft

d = 1 1/5h

d = 6/5 * h

d = 6/5 * 19 3/4

d = 6/5 * 79/4

d = 474/20

radius r = 474/20 * 1/2

radius r = 474/40

radus r = 11 34/40

radus r = 11 17/20 ft

Get the volume

V = 3.14 * (474/40)² * 79/4

V = 3.14 * 561.69 * 19.75

V = 34,833.20535

Hence the volume of the cylinder to the nearest hundredth is 34,833.21 ft³

A camera and a case cost 100 dollars. If the camera cost 90 more dollars than the case. How much does the case cost.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of case = $5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of camera and y = cost of case

x = y + 90

x + y = 100

y + 90 + y = 100

2y = 10

y = 5

x = y + 90

x = 5 + 90

x = 95

Therefore, the cost of the camera is $95 and the cost of the case is $5.

The cost of case is 5 dollars.

What is the equation?

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

Let,

Cost of camera = a and

Cost of case = b

Given that, camera and a case cost 100 dollars

a + b = 100

Since, the camera cost 90 more dollars than the case

So, a = b + 90

Substitute the value in the equation a + b = 100

b + 90 + b = 100

2b = 10

Divided by 2 both the sides

b = 5

Substitute the value of b in equation

a = b+ 90

a = 5 + 90

a = 95

So, the cost of the camera is $95 and the cost of the case is $5.

Hence, the cost of the case is 5 dollars.
