Roscoe is locked outside his house.The only unlocked window is on the 2nd floor which is 24 feet from the ground. He will have to borrow a ladder from the neighbors house and place it 7 feet from the house. What length of ladder does he need to reach the 2nd floor safely

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario above can be modeled and solved Using Pythagoras :

Height to second floor = 24 feets

Horizontal Distance between foot of ladder and wall = 7 feets

Let length of ladder = x

The lengtb of ladder here is the hypotenus

Recall:

Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite² + adjacent²)

Hence,

x = sqrt(24² + 7²)

x = sqrt(576 + 49)

x = sqrt(625)

x = 25

Hence, length of ladder = 25 feets

What are Quadratic Functions?

Quadratic functions are polynomial functions consisting of variables and exponents and the degree of the variable is 2.

The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + b x + c.

Let f(x) = ax² + b x + c be the function required.

Roots are 6 and -2.

Equation can be written in the factorized form as,

(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

f(x) = x² - 4x - 12

Vertex of a function f(x) = ax² + b x + c is (h, k) such that h = - (b/2a) and k = f(h)

h = - (-4/2) = 2

k = f(2) = 4 - 8 - 12 = -16

Hence the vertex of the function is (2, -16).

Please my brain literally can’t process this...

Answers

Answer:  

shaded Area hexagon = Around 281 squared feet

shaded area square  24 squared inches

Step-by-step explanation:

regular hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles. All sides are equal

The formula for finding the area of a hexagon is Area = (3√3 s2)/ 2 where s is the length of a side of the regular hexagon.

Side big hexagon = 12

side small hexagon = 6

BIG    A=  (3√3 144)/ 2 =   374.1230...

small  (3√3 36)/ 2 = 93.5307...

shaded = BIG minus small

374.1230... - 93.5307... = 280.5923... squared feet

 

BIG SQUARE   diagonal = 8

area of a square using diagonals = ½ × d2 Square units.

= ½ × 64  =   32     Square units.

small square   (diagolal 4)

½ × 16 Square units. = 8  square inches

Area shaded  32-8 = 24 square inches

The triangle and the trapezoid have the same area. Base b2 is twice the length of base b1. What are the lengths of the bases of the trapezoid? The area of the triangle is 65 cm squared

Answers

Answer:

[tex]b_1 \approx 7.2[/tex]

[tex]b_2 \approx 14.4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area = 65cm^2[/tex] --- Area of the triangle

[tex]b_2 = 2b_1[/tex] --- the bases of the trapezoid

The missing parameters is:

[tex]h=6 cm[/tex] --- Trapezoid height

Required

Determine b1 and b2

Since the areas of the trapezoid and the triangle are the same, then:

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) *h[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]65 = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 +b_2) * 6[/tex]

Substitute[tex]b_2 = 2b_1[/tex]

[tex]65 = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 +2b_1) * 6[/tex]

[tex]65 = \frac{1}{2}(3b_1) * 6[/tex]

[tex]65 = 3b_1 * 3[/tex]

[tex]65 = 9b_1[/tex]

Solve for [tex]b_1[/tex]

[tex]b_1 = \frac{65}{9}[/tex]

[tex]b_1 \approx 7.2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]b_1 \approx 7.2[/tex] in [tex]b_2 = 2b_1[/tex]

[tex]b_2 \approx 2 * 7.2[/tex]

[tex]b_2 \approx 14.4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

(-6.5, 3)

7.2units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate

A =(-26, -15)

B = (13, 21)

Midpoint of A and B is expressed as;

X = -26+ 13/2

X = -13/2

X = -6.5

Y = -15+21/2

Y = 6/2

Y = 3

Hence the required midpoint is (-6.5, 3)

b) The distance between the coordinate (-6.5, 3) and (0,0) is expressed as;

D = √(-3)²+(0+6.5)²

D = √9+42.25

D = √51.25

D = 7.2units

Hence the distance between the  midpoint and the base camp is 7.2units

Answers

Answer:

t ≤ 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Reservation fee = $18

Additional fee per hour = $6

Let x = number of hours

At most in inequality means ≤ less than or equal to

The inequality is

18 + 6t ≤ 72

6t ≤ 72 - 18

if the ratio of milk and water in 45 litre is 7:2. if 4 litre water is added what will be the new ratio.​

Answers

Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 2 = 9 parts

Divide the quantity by 9 to find the value of one part of the ratio

45 litres ÷ 9 = 5 litres ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

7 parts = 7 × 5 = 35 litres

2 parts = 2 × 5 = 10 litres

In 45 litres there is 35 litres of milk and 10 litres of water

Adding 4 litres of water gives

35 : 14 = 5 : 2

A. 4 seconds
B. 6 seconds
C. 2 seconds
D. 1.5 seconds

Answers

Answer:

4 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the height of the ground is set at y = 0.

Then, since 16 times 4 is 64, we substitute 4 for x.

But wait! x is being squared!

So we need to find out what squared is 4. It's 2.

So, with x being equal to two, y is equal to 0.

But what is the number of seconds? We actually got it first.

That means that the answer is 4.

The pinecone takes 4 seconds to reach the ground.
