a 24 foot tall streetlight casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. how long of a shadow is cast by a nearby parking meter post that is 4 feet high?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 4/24 = 1/6 as tall as the streetlight, so we expect its shadow to be 1/6 as long as that of the streetlight:

  (1/6)(18 ft) = 3 ft

The parking meter post shadow is 3 feet long.

Tara and Mallory are practicing their passing at a volleyball practice. Tara bumps the ball from a height of 3 feet above the ground with an initial upward velocity of 12 feet/second. at the same time, mallory serves the ball from a height of 3.25 feet above the ground with an initial upward velocity of 9 feet/second.

if x represents the number of seconds since each ball is passed and y represents the height of the ball, which system of equations models the projectile motion of the two balls? recall that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet/second

Answers

Answer:

The system of equation that models the projectile of the two balls is option;

C. y = -16·x² + 12·x + 3

y = -16·x² + 9·x + 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for vertical (upward) motion under gravity is presented as follows;

h - h₀ = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The final height reached

h₀ = The initial height

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ -32 feet/second

t = The time taken

We can rewrite the above equation with different letters for the variables as follows;

h = y,

h₀ = y₀, and

t = x

Therefore, we have;

y - y₀ = u·x - 1/2 × 32 × x²

y = u·x - 1/2 × 32 × x² + y₀ = u·x - 16· x² + y₀

y = u·x - 16· x² + y₀ = -16·x² + u·x + y₀

y = -16·x² + u·x + y₀

For Tara, we have;

u = 12 feet/second

y₀ = 3 feet

Therefore, we get;

y = -16·x² + 12·x + 3

For Mallory, we have;

u = 9 feet/second

y₀ = 3.25 feet

Therefore, we get;

y = -16·x² + 9·x + 3.25

The correct option is therefore;

y = -16·x² + 12·x + 3

y = -16·x² + 9·x + 3.25

A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 2346 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 1971 were not defective. Using the data, estimate the proportion of disks which are defective. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of defective disks is the number of defective disks in the sample divided by the size of the sample.

In this question:

2346 disks.

1971 not defective, so 2346 - 1971 = 375 defective.

[tex]p = \frac{375}{2346} = 0.16[/tex]

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.
Kitchen cupboard widths are 60cm.
How many kitchen cupboard will fit in 4.2 metres?
Enter the number only

Answers

Given:

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Kitchen cupboard widths are 60 cm.

To find:

The number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Solution:

Let x be the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Width of 1 cupboard = 60 cm

Width of x cupboards = 60x cm

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm.

Width of a kitchen = 4.2 metres

                              = 4.2×100 cm

                              = 420 cm

Now, the width of the x cupboards is equal to width of the kitchen.

[tex]60x=420[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{420}{60}[/tex]

[tex]x=7[/tex]

Therefore, the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres is 7.

Answers

Answer:

A is 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to remember that the sum of the angles inside a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Also, noting that this is an isosceles triangle.  That means that a and b are equal.  With that in mind, we can simply say:

a + b + c = 180

a ≡ b ∴ 2b + c = 180

2(4x + 31)° + (2x + 58)° = 180°

8x° + 62° + 2x° + 58° = 180°

Let's just stop right here, and note that normally you can treat symbols of measurements just like variables.  We've done the same here, applying the distributive property with the ° symbol.  Note though that it's currently part of every single term, so I'm going to factor it out:

(8x° + 62° + 2x° + 58°) / 1° = 180° / 1°

8x + 62 + 2x + 58 = 180

10x + 120 = 180

10x = 60

x = 6

Again noting that A and B are identical due to this being an Isosceles triangle, we can say:

A = (4x + 31)°

A = 24° + 31°

A = 55°

We can also check our answer.  The sum of the angles should be 180, and two of those angles should be 55.  That means that angle C should be 180 - 2 * 55, or 180 - 110 = 70.  Let's test it:

70 = 2x + 58

70 = 12 + 58

70 = 70

So we know that our answer is correct.
