A 23.9 foot tall streetlight casts a shadow that is 17.7 feet long. How long is the shadow cast by a nearby parking meter that is 3.6 feet high?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.67 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the length of the parking meter's shadow:

[tex]\frac{23.9}{17.7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3.6}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

23.9x = 63.72

x = 2.67

So, the parking meter's shadow is approximately 2.67 feet long

Rays PQ and PS are perpendicular to each other.

What is the measure of LRPS plzzzzz

Answers

Answer:

m<RPS = 53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram shown;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

Given that;

m<QPR = x

m<RPS = x+16

Substitute into the formula;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

x+x+16 = 90

2x+16 = 90

2x = 90-16

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37degrees

Get m<RPS;

Since m<RPS = x+16

m<RPS = 37 + 16

m<RPS = 53 degrees

Leona tracks her calories burned while boxing. The number of calories she burns is expressed by the function c(t) = 425t, where t is the number of hours spent boxing.

To burn more calories, Leona wears heavier gloves while boxing. The number of calories she burns while wearing heavier gloves is expressed by the function b(c) = 1.1c, where c is the number of calories burned while boxing without heavy gloves.

You're playing a game where you defend your village for me or evasion there are three characters of habit or human and five defensive tools magic sword shield slingshot or umbrella to pick from if you randomly choose your character into what is your probability that you won't be a hobby or use an umbrella

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is poorly formatted (See comment section for complete question)

Given

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex] ---- characters

[tex]n(x) =3[/tex]

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex] --- tools

[tex]n(y) = 5[/tex]

Required

The probability that your character won't be a hobbit or your tool won't be an umbrella?

First we calculate the probability of choosing a hobbit.

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex]

[tex]n(hobbit) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{n(hobbit)}{n(x)}[/tex]

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing a hobbit

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - P(hobbit)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Next, we calculate the probability of choosing an umbrella.

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex]

[tex]n(Umbrella) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{n(Umbrella)}{n(y)}[/tex]

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing an umbrella

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \P(Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The required probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = P(Not\ hobbit) + P(Not\ Umbrella) -[/tex] [tex]P(Not\ hobbit)*P(Not\ Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{3} * \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{10+12-8}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]

−3x − 5 = 16

−4(y − 2) = 12

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation:  −3x − 5 = 16

 Combine the constants:

 -3x = 21

  Solve for x using division:  x = 21/(-3)   or  x = -7

Second equation:  −4(y − 2) = 12

 Reduce this by dividing both sides by -4:  y - 2 = -3

 Add 2 to both sides, to isolate y:  y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=-0.1, then f(x)=0.2247361538

If x=-0.01, then f(x)=0.2237187131

If x=-0.001, then f(x)=0.2236179792

If x=0.001, then f(x)=0.2235956185

If x=0.01, then f(x)=0.223495106

If x=0.1, then f(x)=0.2224998063

We can see that as x approaches 0, we see that f(x) gets closer to √5/10

In the triangle ABC
are drawn two sides
of it, BB1 and AA1.
Those half-edges
intersect at point O.
What is the length of
the semicircular BB1
if B10 = a cm?

Answers

Answer:

3a

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have as the point O refers to the centroid of the triangle

The centroid splits the distance between the opposite vertex and the middle of the side length that faces it into two; with the longer side being twice the length of the shorter

So what we have here is that;

B1O is half the length of BO

So, if B1O is a cm, BO would be 2a

So we have the entire side length measure as;

a + 2a = 3a

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The image provided below, I find very helpful when trying to solve difficult problems such as this one.

We use the same relationship, the only difference is we are given expressions and numbers for the segments

If the product of the segments in one chord equal the product of the segments in the other chord then,

x * 6 = 8 * ( x - 1 )

Or 6x = 8 ( x - 1 )

Now we solve for

Step 1 distribute the 8

8 * x = 8x

8 * -1 = -8

We now have 6x = 8x - 8

step 2 subtract 8x from each side

6x - 8x = -2x

8x - 8x cancels out

we now have -2x = -8

step 3 divide each side by -2

-2x / -2 = x

-8 / - 2 = -4

we're left with x = 4
