Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Given a map of San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles on which triangles are drawn.

We find that the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco is  351 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a map of San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles on which triangles are drawn.We need to find the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco.Since, the triangles are same and hence similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional.In the proportion, we will make numerators as miles and denominators as inches and solve the equation.

Step 1 of 2

In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional.

We know that the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is 270 miles and on the map it is 1 inches.

We need to form a proportion to find the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco if on the map it is 1.3 inches.

Let the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco be x .

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\frac{\text { miles }}{\text { inches }}=\frac{\text { miles }}{\text { inches }} \\&\frac{x \text { Miles }}{1.3 \text { inches }}=\frac{270 \text { Miles }}{\text { linch }} \\&\text { Multiplying both sides by } 1.3 \text { we get, } \\&x=270 \times 1.3 \text { Miles } \\&x=351 \text { Miles }\end{aligned}[/tex]

Step 2 of 2

To check if the answer is reasonable, we substitute it back in the formed proportion

[tex]\frac{x \text { Miles }}{\text { 1.3inches }}=\frac{270 \text { Miles }}{1 \text { inch }}$$[/tex]

We found x=351 Miles hence,

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{351}{1.3}=\frac{270}{1} \\&270=270 \\&\text { Here, } L H S=\text { RHS }\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Hence, our answer is correct.

A boy walks 58 feet up a ramp having a 22.5 degree inclination. how high is he standing from the ground?

Answers

Boy is 22.5 feet high from the ground

The six trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), cosecant (cosec), and secant (sec). In geometry, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the sides and angles of a right-angled triangle. Therefore, trig ratios are evaluated with respect to sides and angles.

The given question can be solved by sin, as value of perpendicular is to be evaluated and height and angle is provided. Let height from the ground be x

sin(22.5°) = x / 58

x = 58sin22.5 = 58(.38258)  =  22.5 feet high.

Thus the Boy is 22.5 feet high from the ground.

Answer:

The equation representing the proportional relationship between j and m is m = 3j/4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing an Equation to Represent a Proportional Relationship

What is proportional relationship?

A proportional relationship between two quantities is when the two quantities vary directly with one and other. Meaning if one item is doubled, the other item is also doubled.

Going back to the given problem above, we have the table showing the proportional relationship between j and m.

j | 4 | 12 | 20 |

m | 3 | 9 | 15 |

Solution:

Step #1

The proportional relationship can be written as:

m/j = ¾ = ‌9⁄12‌ = ‌15⁄20‌ = ¾

Step #2

So, the equation representing this proportional relationship is:

m = ¾ × j/1 = 3j/4

Final Answer:

The equation representing the proportional relationship between j and m is m = 3j/4 .

A motorcycle traveling at 70 miles per hour overtakes a car traveling at 40 miles per hour that had a three-hour head start. How far from the starting point are the two vehicles

Answers

A motorcycle traveling at 70 miles per hour overtakes a car traveling at 40 miles per hour that had a three-hour head start. How far from the starting point are the two vehicles.

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

The car is 120 miles away when the motorcycle starts.

The bike gains on the car at 30 mph (70-40).

It takes 4 hours for the bike to close the gap (120/30).

In 4 hours, the bike and the car are 280 miles from the starting point.

---------

4*70 = 280

7*40 = 280

Since Distance = Speed x Time, and in this case, the distances are equal, we, therefore, have: 70T = 40(T + 3)

70T = 40T + 120

30T = 120

T=4, which makes the distance that both vehicles traveled, highlight_green280miles, calculated as (70 * 4), or (40 * 7).

It also means that the motorcycle took 4 hours to travel 280 miles, and the car took 3 hours more, or 7 hours to travel the same distance.

Answers

The formulas and the equivalent formulas are

W = X - Y                                    X = W +Y

W = X/Z - Y                                 X = Z(W + Y)

W = (X - Y)/Z                               X = WZ+Y

W = XY                                       X =W/Y

How to match the formulas?

To do this, we simply make X the subject of the formula in expressions on the left.

So, we have:

W = X - Y

This gives

X = W + Y

W = X/Z - Y

This gives

X/Z = W + Y

X = Z(W + Y)

W = (X - Y)/Z

This gives

X - Y = WZ

X = WZ + Y

W = XY

This gives

X =W/Y

a square room has a area of 49 square feet the height of the room is 4 feet. what is the area of one wall

Answers

Answer:

28 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is in the shape of a square.  That means the base of the room (width and length) will have the same dimensions.

Length x Width = 49 ft^2

Length = Width

Length^2 = 49 ft^2

Length  = 7 feet

Width is also 7 feet

The height of the room is 4 feet, plenty for non-humans.  One wall area would be (7 ft)*(4 ft) = 28 ft^2

The linear equation that best fits the data is: y = 10x + 15.

How to Write the Linear Equation of a Data?

First, find the slope/unit rate (m) and the y-intercept/starting value, then substitute the values into y = mx + b.

Using two points on the graph, (1, 25) and (2, 35), find the slope (m):

Slope (m) = (35 - 25)/(2 - 1)

Slope (m) = 10/1

Slope (m) = 10

Substitute (x, y) = (1, 25) and m = 10 into y = mx + b to find b

25 = 10(1) + b

According to the table, how many hours of training would you need to have a
monthly pay of $1500?

Answers

Using a linear function, it is found that you would need roughly 24 hours of training to have a monthly pay of $1500.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Looking at the table, the pay increases $200 each 10 hours of work, hence the slope is:

m = 200/10 = 20

Then:

y = 20x + b

When x = 10, y = 1220, hence:

y = 20x + b

1220 = 20(10) + b

b = 1020.

Then the pay for x hours of training is:

y = 20x + 1020.

For a pay of $1500, we have that:

y = 20x + 1020.

1500 = 20x + 1020.

20x = 480

x = 24

You would need roughly 24 hours of training to have a monthly pay of $1500.
