A telephone pole casts a shadow that is 12 feet long. At the same time, a man standing nearby who is 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 2 feet 4 inches long. How tall is the
telephone pole to the nearest foot?
The telephone pole is feet tall

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

31 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Telephone shadow Ts = 12 feets

Man's height, Mh= 6 feets

Man's shadow, Ms = 2 feets 4 inches

Height of telephone, Th =?

Recall :

1 foot = 12 inches

x foot = 4 inches

12x = 4

x = 4/12 = 1/3 inches

Hence, man's shadow = 2 1/3 feets =

Using cross multiplication :

Mh / Ms = Th / Ts

6 / 7/3 = Th / 12

6 / 2.33333 = Th / 12

12 * 6 = 2.33333 * Th

72 = 2.33333 Th

Th = 72 / 2.333333

Th = 30.85

Height of telephone pole = 31 feets

Emelia pays $24 to rent a boat at the lake for up to 6 hours she constructs the inequality and number line below to represent the number of hours x she can use the boat

Answers

Answer:

She has an initiall amount of 6 hours, so if T is the amount of time that passed since she rented the boat, the inequality that describes this system is:

0≤ T ≤ 6

This means that she can use the boat from 0 hours to 6 hours, here we are allowing the intermediate values because, of course, she can return the boat earlier than in the given time.

From this we have that the maximum time left that she has can be written as:

x + T = 6

so if T = 3h, meaning that 3 hours passed, she has:

X + 3 = 6

x = 6 - 3 = 3

3 hours left.

The common difference

From the graph, we have:

[tex]T_n: -3.75, -4.5, -5.25, -6, -6.75, -7.5, -8.25, -9.[/tex]

The x coordinates represent the position of each term

The common difference (d) is:

[tex]d = T_n - T_{n-1}[/tex]

Let [tex]n = 2[/tex]

[tex]d = T_2 - T_{2-1}[/tex]

[tex]d = T_2 - T_1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d = -4.5 - (-3.75)[/tex]

[tex]d = -4.5 +3.75[/tex]

[tex]d = -0.75[/tex]

8. At a wholesale food distribution center, the price of sugar has increased 6.3% annually since 1980.
Suppose sugar cost $0.43 per pound in 1980 and this growth continues. What will a pound of sugar
cost in 2017? Use y = a(1 + r) and round to the nearest cent.
a. $4.12 b. $1.21
c. $0.42 d. $3.30

Answers

Answer: A. $4.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=a(1+r/n)^nt is the equation we use to solve this.

a= $0.43

t=37 - take 1980 and subtract it from 2017

r= .063 - the 6.3% goes into a decimal

n = 1

Y= ?

Y= 0.43( 1+ .063/1) ^1*37

Y= 0.43 (1.063) ^37

Y= 4.12

The lateral areas of two similar cylinders are 196π in^2 and 324π in^2. The volume of smaller cylinder is 1715π in^3. Find the volume of the larger cylinder.

Answers

Answer:

3,645 π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the radius :

r1 : r2 = √196 : √324

= 14 : 18

= 7 : 9

the ratio of the volume:

v1 : v2 = 7³ : 9³

= 343 : 729

so, the volume of the larger cylinder =

729/343 x 1715π = 3,645 π in³

Answer:

since the cylinders are similar their area and volume will be proportional

[tex]\frac{lateral\:area \:of \:smaller \:cylinder}{laternal\: area \:of \:larger\: cylinder}=\frac{volume \:of\: larger\: cylinder}{volume \:of \:larger \:cylinder}[/tex]

[tex] \frac{196π}{324π}=\frac{1715π}{V}[/tex]

V=1715π*324π/126π

V=4410πin³

the volume of the larger cylinder is 4410πin³.

VolumeSurface area

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

Explanation:

The volume is the amount of stuff that a container can hold on the inside, while the surface area is the amount of stuff that goes on the outside of the container (eg: the amount of paint or wallpaper). In the case of wallpapering a room, we're actually doing the inner walls rather than the outside walls; however, it's the same concept. The surface area only deals with the surface and we want to find out how much area we have to cover. That way we can know how much wallpaper to buy. For problem 1, he needs to know the volume so he can find out how much trash each can would be able to hold. The greater the volume, the larger the bin. For instance a small wastebasket would have a small volume compared to a large waist high heavy duty trash container.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the zeros, the polynomial is of the form

f(x) = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)  where a,b,c are the zeros

f(x) = (x - -5)(x-8)(x-2)

f(x) = (x+5)(x-8)(x-2)

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 8)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a polynomial with zeros x = a , x = b , then the corresponding factors are

(x - a) and (x - b)

The polynomial is a product of the factors, that is

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)

Here the zeros are x = - 5, x = 8, x = 2, then corresponding factors are

(x - (- 5)), (x - 8), (x - 2) , that is

(x + 5), (x - 8), (x - 2) and the polynomial is

The top three oil producers in the United States in a certain year were the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, and Alaska. The three regions were responsible for 64% of the United States oil production. The Gulf of Mexico and Texas combined for 47% of oil production. Texas produced 3% more than Alaska. What percent of United States oil production came from these regions?

Answers

Answer:

27% of United States oil production came from Gulf of Mexico.

20% of United States oil production came from Texas.

17% of United States oil production came from Alaska.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

Gulf of Mexico produced x%.

Texas produced y%.

Alaska produced z%.

The three regions were responsible for 64% of the United States oil production.

This means that:

[tex]x + y + z = 64[/tex]

The Gulf of Mexico and Texas combined for 47% of oil production.

This means that [tex]x + y = 47[/tex].

We use this to find z.

[tex]47 + z = 64[/tex]

[tex]z = 64 - 47 = 17[/tex]

17% of United States oil production came from Alaska.

Texas produced 3% more than Alaska.

Then:

[tex]y = z + 3 = 17 + 3 = 20[/tex]

20% of United States oil production came from Texas.

Gulf of Mexico

[tex]x + y = 47[/tex]

[tex]x = 47 - y = 47 - 20 = 27[/tex]

27% of United States oil production came from Gulf of Mexico.

Explain the meaning of probability. What does it mean if an event has a probability of 0? Give an example. What does it mean if an event has a probability of 1? Give an example. What does it mean if an event has a probability of 1/2? Give an example. (LONG ANSWERS ONLY)

Answers

Answer:

If an event has a probability of 0 it means that it is impossible. For example when they say there is 0% of rain. It is very unlikely it is going to rain. If an event has a probability of 1 it means that it is certain. For example, if they say there is a 100% chance it is going to rain. It is very certain that it's going to rain. If an event is 1/2 then it means there it is likely as it is unlikely. For example, if they say there is a 50% chance of rain. Then it might not rain, but there is a chance that it might rain as well.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!

Probability can simply be defined as the chances of an event a, occuring with respect to event b, with respect to event n, given an nth number of possible outcomes.

Probability can be calculated using the following expression:

[tex] \frac{freq \: of \: event \: n}{freq \: of \: total \: number \: of \: events} [/tex]

When an event has a probability of 0, it means that by no chance or condition will the event be true. For example, the probability of a person who is a boy has 0 probability that he is a girl.

When an event has a probability of 1, it means that with every chance or condition, the event will be true. For example, the probability that a person who is a boy has a probability of 1 that he is a boy.

An event that has a probability of 1/2 means that the event could either return a probability of 0 or 1 on different chances or conditions. For example, the probability of a fuetus whose gender is not known has a probability of 1/2 for being a boy and 1/2 for being a girl.
