A city planner wants to build a bridge across a lake in the park. To find the length of the bridge, he makes a right triangle with one leg and the hypotenuse on land and the bridge as the other leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 340 feet and the other leg is 160 feet. Find the length of the bridge

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the bridge is 300 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the length of one leg.

Let B represent the length of the other leg (i.e length of the bridge)

Let C represent the length of the Hypothenus.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Length of Hypothenus (C) = 340 feet.

Length of one leg (A) = 160 feet.

Length of the bridge (B) =.?

The length of the bridge can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

C² = A² + B²

340² = 160² + B²

115600 = 25600 + B²

Collect like terms

115600 – 25600 = B²

90000 = B²

Take the square root of both side

B = √90000

B = 300 feet

Therefore, the length of the bridge is 300 feet

Answer:

1. 15.1%

2. 8.3%

3. 12%

4. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (21300 - 18500)/(18500) * 100%

percent change = 15.1%

A positive percent change is a percent increase.

Answer: The percent increase is 15.1%.

2.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (298000 - 325000)/(325000) * 100%

percent change = -8.3%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 8.3%.

3.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (110 - 125)/(125) * 100%

percent change = -12%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 12%.

4.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (1500 - 2000)/(2000) * 100%

percent change = -25%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 25%.

A car and a motorcycle, starting 35 miles apart, travel directly away from each other. The car averages 60 miles per hour and the motorcycle averages m miles per hour. The distance (d) between them after h hours can be determined using the equation below. Which equation could be used to find the distance between the car and the motorcycle after 2.5 hours?

Answers

Answer:

d = 60h + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

60 = Slope

35 = Y-intercept

You would just input whatever amount of time you need to the variable h in order to find the value of d.

Triangle A has side lengths 3,4 and 6. Triangle B had side lengths 6,8 and 12 triangle A and B are?

Answers

Answer:

Similar

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles have corresponding sides, so they are similar.

The two triangles A and B are similar to each other.

What is the similarity?

If two objects are having the same shape then they will be termed as similar. So in mathematics, if two figures have the same shapes, lines or angles then they are called similar.

Given that triangle, A has side lengths 3,4, and 6. Triangle B had side lengths 6,8 and 12.

The second triangle is dilated by factor 2. This means in triangle B the sides are two times the side of triangle A.

Therefore, the two triangles A and B are similar to each other.

what is the equation of a line parallel to y=3x-2 and goes through the point (-1,1)

Answers

Answer:

y = 3 x − 29

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the slope of the line  

y = 3 x + 2

As the equation is already in slope-intercept form  

y = m x + c

Slope =  3

Let a point  ( x , y )  be on the new line.

By finding the slope again,

y − 1 x − 10 = 3

y − 1 = 3 ( x − 10 )

y − 1 = 3 x − 30

Which can then be converted to different forms:

Standard form:  

3 x − y = 29

Equation form:  

3 x − y−29 = 0

Slope-intercept form:  

y = 3 x − 29

Claire and Richard are both artists. Claire uses the polynomial 50x^2+250 to decide how much to charge.Richard uses the polynomial 49x^2+350 to charge how much to charge for his painting.In each polynomial x is the height of the paintings feet. To the nearest tenth what height will both Claire and Richard charge for the same amount for a painting?

Answers

Answer:

The height of the painting has to be 10 feet for both Claire and Richard to charge the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial expression representing the charge for Claire's paintings is:

C = 50x² + 250

The polynomial expression representing the charge for Richard's paintings is:

R = 49x² + 350

Here x represents the height of the paintings feet.

Now compute the value of x such that both Claire and Richard charge the same amount as follows:

C = R

50x² + 250 = 49x² + 350

50x² - 49x² = 350 - 250

x² = 100

x = 100

Thus, the height of the painting has to be 10 feet for both Claire and Richard to charge the same amount.

Is the statement true or false? If false, give a counterexample.

For all real numbers a, b and c, a(b + c) = ab + bc.

A. true
B. false; a(b + c) = ab − ac
C. false; if a = b = c = 1, then 1(1 + 1) ≠ 1(1) + 1(1)
D. false; if a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3, then 1(2 + 3) ≠ 1(2) + 2(3)

Answers

Answer:

D. false; if a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3, then 1(2 + 3) ≠ 1(2) + 2(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A is false, because the a is being distributed/ being multiplied to all terms inside the parenthesis, and not the term b.

B is also false. There is no indicated negative signs.

C is also false because 1(1 + 1) is EQUAL to 1(1) + 1(1)

D is true.

The length of a rectangle is 11 less than 9 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 18 inches

Length = 7   Width = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

L = Length

W = Width

L=9w-11

2L+2W=18

2(9W-11) + 2W = 18

18W - 22 +2W = 18

20W -22 = 18

20W = 40

W = 2

L = 9(2)-11

L=18-11

On a flight from New York to London, an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles, d, to the number of hours flying, t, is LaTeX: t=\frac{1}{500}dt=1500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?

Answers

Answer:

1.6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Speed= distance/ time

But from the question, An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d.

And the distance is given as 800 miles

Then, what we need is to substitute the given Distance into the equation of time.

t= 1/500d. Where d= 800 miles

t= (1/500) × 800 miles

t= 800 miles/500

t= 1.6hours

Hence, it will take the airplane to travel 800 miles , 1.6hours
