A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 3 feet less than the length of the ladder. Find the length of the ladder if the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 9 feet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is another classic case of Pythagoras theorem. To start with, let's assume that the length of the ladder we're looking for is x

We're told that the height of the building the ladder is leaning on is, x - 3

Also we're told that the distance at an adjacent from the ladder is 9 ft.

If we use Pythagoras theorem, we have

x² = (x - 3)² + 9²

x² = x² - 6x + 9 + 81

On rearranging, we have

x² - x² = -6x + 90

6x = 90

x = 90 / 6

x = 15 ft

Therefore, the length of the ladder is found to be 15 ft

The average grade Jared received on 4 tests was 94. If he drops his lowest test grade of 85, what will his new average be?

A.72.75
B.76
C.89.5
D.97

Pls help TT

Answers

Answer:

total points on the 4 tests- 94x4= 376

376- 85= 291

291/3= D. 97

Answer:

D. 97

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sum of 4 test grades Jared received

[tex]\frac{x}{4} = 94[/tex]

x = 376

If he drops lowest test grade of 85, then subtract 85 from Jared's sum of all test grades:

x - 85 --> 376 - 85

= 291

Now that one of his test grades are not considered, this means there are only 3 test grades to consider.

291 must be divided by 3 to get the average:

[tex]\frac{291}{3}[/tex] = 97

The answer is D) 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fraction of claim = 5/8

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 of claim

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 * 5/8 = 5/16

Fraction of large pizza actually eaten is 5 /16

Find the first five terms of the sequence defined below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n=1. 10n+10

Answers

Answer:

20,30,40,50,60

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is given by the relation as follows :

[tex]a_n=10n+10[/tex]

First term, n = 1

[tex]a_1=10(1)+10=20[/tex]

Second term, n = 2

[tex]a_2=10(2)+10=30[/tex]

Third term, n =3

[tex]a_3=10(3)+10=40[/tex]

Fourth term, n = 4

[tex]a_4=10(4)+10=50[/tex]

Fifth term, n = 5

[tex]a_5=10(5)+10=60[/tex]

So, the first five terms of the sequence are 20,30,40,50,60

Pythagoras is the sum of the square of two sides is equal to the square of the longest side. Then the acute angle of the given triangle is 28.07 degrees.

What is a right-angle triangle?

It is a type of triangle in which one angle is 90 degrees and it follows the Pythagoras theorem and we can use the trigonometry function.

A triangle has sides with lengths 8, 15, and 17.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have

  H² =  P² + B²

 17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 64 + 225

289 = 289

The dimension of the triangle satisfies the Pythagoras theorem. Hence the triangle is a right-angle triangle.

Then the acute angle will be

[tex]\rm \theta =Sin ^{-1} \dfrac{8}{17}\\\\\theta = 28.07^o[/tex]

Thus, the acute angle of the given triangle is 28.07 degrees.

Your firm has net income of $329 on total sales of $1,340. Costs are $740 and depreciation is $130. The tax rate is 30 percent. The firm does not have interest expenses. What is the operating cash flow?

Answers

Answer:

Net operating cash flow= $459

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your firm has net income of $329 on total sales of $1,340. Costs are $740 and depreciation is $130. The tax rate is 30 percent. T

To calculate the operating cash flow, we need to use the following structure:

Sales= 1,340

Costs= (740)

Gross income= 600

Depreciation= (130)

EBIT= 470

Tax= (470*0.3)= (141)

Depreciation= 130

Net operating cash flow= $459

The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $5.50 and each adult ticket sells for $8.50. The auditorium can hold at most 110 people. The drama club must make no less than $680 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs. Also, they can sell no more than 70 adult tickets. If xx represents the number of student tickets sold and yy represents the number of adult tickets sold, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Answers

Answer:

74 or 73

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to assume that the show is sold out.  If 66 student tickets were sold, we only have 74 adult tickets to sell.  Based on that information, we then have to use an inequality to find out if the number of adult tickets we have to sell to meet our money requirements is more than the amount of seating we have left after 66 seats were taken by students.  Our inequality looks like this:

5.50(66) + 7.50(a) ≥ 910 and

363 + 7.50a ≥ 910 and

7.50a ≥ 547 so

a ≥ 73

In order to meet our money requirement, we have to sell 73 adult tickets.  Since we have 74 seats left, we are good.
