Answer 1

Answer: The height of the building = 14.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of ladder = 15 feet

Distance of base of ladder from building = 4 feet

Since building is standing vertical on ground making right angle.

So with ladder a right triangle is formed , where base = 4 feet , Hypotenuse = 15 feet [Hypotenuse is side opposite to right angle]

According to the Pythagoras theorem ,

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

⇒ (15)² =  Perpendicular² +  (4)²

⇒ 225 = Perpendicular² +16

⇒ Perpendicular² = 225 -16

⇒ Perpendicular² = 209

⇒  Perpendicular = √209 = 14.4568322948 ≈ 14.5 feet

Hence, the height of the building = 14.5 feet.

A 15 Foot Ladder Is Leaning Against A Building, With The Base Of The Ladder 4 Feet From The Building.

Find the distance between (6,4) and (-6,-5) by using the distance formula

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {d = 15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Distance Formula to help determine the distance between two given points:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]

First point: [tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex]

Second point: [tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex]

-Substitute both given points:

[tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (6, 4)[/tex]

[tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (-6, -5)[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-6 - 6)^{2} + (-5 - 4)^{2}}[/tex]

-Solve for the distance:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-6 - 6)^{2} + (-5 - 4)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-12)^{2} + (-9)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{144 + 81}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{225}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {d = 15}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance is [tex]15[/tex].

The count of bacteria in a culture is 10 and doubles every 20 minutes. Find the population size after 11 hours. Can someone explain how to solve this?

Answers

Since you asked how to solve this, I will put the answer at the bottom.

You might not think the same way as I but I think in steps.

(1) Calculate how many times the bacteria divide in eleven hours

The bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, 60/20 = 3.

If the bacteria grow for eleven hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 11 hours = 33 times.

(2) Add the orginial size of bacteria into the equation

A cardboard tube used for storing posters has the shape of a cylinder. It is 100 centimeters long and has a diameter of 8 canimeters. What is the volume of the tube

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 10cm[/tex]

[tex]Diameter = 8cm[/tex]

Required

Determine the volume

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Where [tex]r = radius[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * 8cm[/tex]

[tex]r = 4cm[/tex]

[tex]h = 100cm[/tex]

Take

[tex]\pi = \frac{22}{7}[/tex], so we have

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 4^2 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 16 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22 * 16 * 100}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{35200}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

Which is the better buy?
48-fluid-ounce container of laundry detergent for
$5.28
3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56

Answers

Answer:

3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56

Step-by-step explanation:

48-fluid-ounce container of laundry detergent for  $5.28

5.28 : 48 = 0.11

check your work:  0.11 x 48 = 5.28

so for the first offer you will be paying $0.11 per ounce of laundry detergent.

3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56

1 gallon = 128 ounces

3 gallons = 384 ounces

34.56 : 384 = 0.09

check your work:  0.09 x 384 = 34.56

for the second offer you will be paying $0.09 per ounce of laundry detergent. 3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56 is a better buy because you will be paying less for each ounce of detergent.

A company manufactures fuel tanks for cars. The total weekly cost (in dollars) of producing x fuel tanks is given by ... C(x) = 10000 +90x - 0.08x2 Find the exact cost of producing the 501st item.

Answers

Answer:

cost of producing the 501st item = $9.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing the cost is given by;

C(x) = 10000 + 90x - 0.08x²

To get the cost of producing the 501st item, we have to first find the cost of producing 500 items and then do the same for 501 items then subtract the values gotten.

Thus;

C(500) = 10000 + 90(500) - 0.08(500)²

C(500) = 10000 + 45000 - 20000

C(500) = $35000

Similarly;

C(501) = 10000 + 90(501) - 0.08(501)²

C(501) = 10000 + 45090 - 20080.08

C(501) = $35009.92

cost of producing the 501st item = C(501) - C(500) = 35009.92 - 35000 = $9.92

A total of $5000 is invested: part at 5% and the remainder at 15%. How much is invested at each rate if the annual interest is $720?

Answers

Answer:

At 5% , $300 was invested

At 15%, $4,700 was invested

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 5% be $x and the amount invested at 15% be $y

x + y = 5000 ••••••(i)

Let’s work with the interest;

5% of x + 15% of y = 720

0.05x + 0.15y = 720 •••••(ii)

From i;

x = 5000-y

Insert this into ii

0.05(5000-y) + 0.15y = 720

= 250 - 0.05y + 0.15y = 720

250 + 0.1y = 720

0.1y = 720-250

0.1y = 470

y = 470/0.1

y = $4700

x = 5000-y

x = 5000-4700 = $300

Answer the two questions below. THANKS!!

Answers

Problem 1

We're given that angle A = angle B. Also that angle B = angle C.

By the transitive property, we can say angle A = angle C.

So basically all three angles are equal to one another. Let's call that unknown angle x.

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180, so,

x+x+x = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

That proves angles A,B, and C are each 60 degrees. This triangle is considered equiangular since all angles are the same. Furthermore, the triangle is also considered equilateral meaning all sides are the same. The term equilateral is more widely used, so I'd go with that term if you could only pick one.

==========================================================

Problem 2

As mentioned in problem 1, the three angles of a triangle add to 180

A+B+C = 180

A+B+90 = 180

A+B+90-90 = 180-90

A+B = 90

This shows A and B are complementary angles. Complementary angles by definition add to 90 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

[tex]y = -3x+5[/tex]

General form of slope-intercept equation of line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Comparing both we get

m = -3

The slope of two parallel line sis equal.

Let m1 be the slope of line parallel to given line, then

m1 = -3

Putting in general form

[tex]y = -3x+b[/tex]

Putting (-4,5) in equation

[tex]5 = -3(-4) +b\\5 = 12+b\\b = 5-12\\b = -7[/tex]

Putting in the general form, we get

[tex]y = -3x-7[/tex]

Hence,

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7
