A firefighter needs to lean a ladder against a wall of a building to reach a window. How far away from the base of the building should he/she place the foot of the ladder? Ladder is 25 feet long, window is 23.8 feet high in the building.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from the base of the building to the foot of the ladder be represented by x. Ladder is 25 feet long, while window is 23.8 feet high.

The length of the ladder, the height of the window and the distance from base of building to foot of ladder describes a right angled triangle.

Thus, applying the Pythagoras theorem;

[tex](25)^{2}[/tex] = [tex](23.8)^{2}[/tex] + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

625 = 566.44 + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

625 - 566.44 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

58.56 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

⇒ x = [tex]\sqrt{58.56}[/tex]

      = 7.653

The foot of the ladder should be placed 7.7 feet away from the base of the building.

Listen Rachel babysat three children for five hours if they were paid $2.50 per hour for each child and divided their earnings equally how much did each girl receive

Answers

Answer: Each girl will receive $18.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two girls babysat three children for five hours.

Hourly pay for each child = $2.50

Payment for 5 hours per child = [tex]5\times\$2.50=\$12.5[/tex]

Payment to 3 children for 5 hours = [tex]3\times \$12.5=\$37.5[/tex]

So, the amount received by each girl  = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Payment to 3 children for 5 hours}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{37.5}{2}=\$18.75[/tex]

Hence, each girl will receive $18.75.

What survival rate in the 10th year would make the average
rate of loss over the 10-year period equal to 38.0%?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "63%"

Step-by-step explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Time= 10 year =38.0%

let,  

x=rate

[tex]\to 38 = \frac{(36.2 + 29.0 + 46.2 + 37.5 + 40.9 + 40.0 + 32.6 + 40.5 + 40.1 + x)}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\to 38 = \frac{(343 + x )}{10}\\\\\to 380 = (343 + x )\\\\\to 380 - 343 = x \\\\\to x= 37\%[/tex]

The rate of survival differs from the rate of loss, meaning the rate of survival were:

[tex]= 1 - loss\ rate \\\\= 1 - 37\% \\\\= 1 - \frac{37}{100} \\\\= \frac{100-37}{100} \\\\= \frac{63}{100} \\\\=63 \%[/tex]

Write an equation of the line passing through point P(4,0) that is parallel to the line -x + 2y = 12.

Answers

arallel lines have the same slope
-x+2y=12
2y=x+12
y=(1/2)x+6
the slope is 1/2
using the point-slope form of a line...
y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is (4,0)
y-0=(1/2)(x-4)
y=(1/2)x-2 is the equation of the line
check: 0=(1/2)(4)-2
0=2-2
0=0
Answer: y= 1/2x-2
___________________
Explanation:

-x+2y=12
2y=12+x
divide both sides by 2
y= 6+ x/2
as they are parallel, therefore, their slopes are equal
hence,
put P(4;0) in the equation to find y intercept( y=kx+b, there b is y intercept)
0= 1/2 * 4+ b
b=-2
hence,
our equation is
y=1/2x-2

i need this asap pls

Answers

Answer:

The height of the kite is approximately 278.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of Jason's Kite string, l = 325 feet

The angle of elevation of the kite string, θ = 58°

The height of Jason's hand, h = 3 feet above the ground

Therefore, we have;

The height of the kite = The vertical component of the length of the kite string + The height of Jason's hand above the ground

The height of the kite = l × sin(θ) + h

Substituting the values, we get

The height of the kite = 325 × sin(58°) + 3 ≈ 278.6 (which is obtained by rounding the answer to the nearest tenth)

The height of the kite ≈ 278.6 feet.

Answer:

Variable x = $2.39 ⇒ price of 1 pound of cashews

Variable y = $1.79 ⇒ price of 1 pound of peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the price of each pound of cashews is $x and the price of each pound of peanuts is $y

∵ The price of 1 pound of cashews = x

∵ The price of 1 pound of peanuts = y

∵ 5 pounds of cashews and 8 pounds of peanuts cost $26.27

5x + 8y = 26.27 ⇒ (1)

∵ 7 pounds of cashews and 4 pounds of peanuts cost $23.89

7x + 4y = 23.89 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

→ Multiply equation (2) by -2 to make the coefficients of y equal

   in values and different in signs

∵ -2(7x) + -2(4y) = -2(23.89)

-14x - 8y = -47.78 ⇒ (3)

→ Add equations (1) and (3) to eliminate y

∵ (5x + -14x) + (8y + - 8y) = (26.27 + -47.78)

∴ -9x = -21.51

→ Divide both sides by -9 to find x

x = 2.39

→ Substitute x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∵ 5(2.39) + 8y = 26.27

∴ 11.95 + 8y = 26.27

→ Subtract 11.95 from both sides

∴ 8y = 14.32

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find y

y = 1.79

The price of 1 pound of cashews is $2.39

The price of 1 pound of peanuts is $1.79

Answer:

A. At least $30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

2x + $10,000 ≥ $70,000 ;

Where x salary of an employee ;

Phrase which describes the employee's salary, x

2x + 10000 ≥ 70000

A train to New York city leaves a station every 7 minutes. Another train to Boston leaves the station every 6 minutes. Suppose it is 6:30 am right now. At what time will both trains leave the station together?

Answers

Answer:

7:12 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Train to New York city leaves station every 7 minutes

Train to Boston leaves station every 6 minutes

Current time = 6:30 a.m

Time both will leave station together is obtained by finding the least common multiple of 6 and 7

Multiples of ;

6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60,...

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70,...

The least common multiple of 6 and 7 is 42.

Hence, both trains will leave the station together after 42 minutes ;

Current time + 42 minutes

6:30 a.m+ 42 minutes = 7:12 a.m
