Ben is rock climbing in the Grand Canyon. He starts off 59.3 feet above sea level and descends into the canyon. The difference between his starting and ending elevation is 129.6 feet. What is Ben's final elevation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: -70.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben's final elevation be represented by x.

We are informed that he starts off 59.3feet above sea level and descends into the canyon and that the difference between his starting and ending elevation is 129.6 feet. This will then be expressed in an equation as:

59.3 - x = 129.6

x = 59.3 - 129.6

x = -70.3

Therefore, the final elevation is -70.3 feet.

find the surface area of the triangular prism

Answers

Answer:

608 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the area of the bases

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] where b is the base length and h is the height

Plug in b and h

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} (12)(8)\\A=48[/tex]

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 bases)

A=96

Therefore, the area of the two bases is 96 ft².

2) Find the area of the two sides facing up

[tex]A=lw[/tex] where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

[tex]A=10*16\\A=160[/tex]

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 sides)

A=320

Therefore, the area of these two sides is 320 ft².

3) Find the area of the bottom side

[tex]A=lw[/tex] where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

[tex]A=12*16\\A=192[/tex]

Therefore, the area of this side is 192 ft².

4) Add all the areas together

96 ft² + 320 ft² + 192 ft²

= 608 ft²

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 608 ft².

I hope this helps!

Answer:

608

Step-by-step explanation:

first off you have to find the area of the base

the base is 16 by 12 feet.

so you multiply them and you get

16*12=192 you will have to come back later for this number

next, you find the two outsides of the triangular prism.

they are 10 by 16

10*16=160 and there are two of them so you double it and get 320

now save the 320 too with the 192

now we are going to find the triangles

the formula for an area of a triangle is A=1/2h*w

so we plug in the height which is 8 and the width which is 12

A=1/2(8)*(12)

Simplify

A=48 once again there are two of them so we double it to make it 96

now take all your saved numbers and add them all up

96+320+192

this should give you an answer of 608

hope this helps! have a nice day:)

A. 42x4y3
B. 42x6y3
C. 8x4y3
D. 8x6y3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, area equals width x height so you can set up this equation.

[tex]48x^8y^7=6x^2y^4 * w[/tex]

Solving for w,

[tex]\frac{48x^8y^7}{6x^2y^4} =w[/tex]

Thus, D is the answer

Lydia is an architect. She has to design a courtyard garden inside a new hotel. On her blueprint, which is 1/20 the size of the actual garden, the width of the garden is 36 inches. What is the width of the actual garden?

Answers

Answer:

720 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

On her blueprint, which is 1/20 the size of the actual garden

the width of the garden is 36 inches.

What is the width of the actual garden?

Let width of the actual garden = x

1/20 of x = 36

1/20 * x = 36

x = 36 ÷ 1/20

x = 36 * 20/1

x = 720

x = 720 inches

The width of the actual garden = 720 inches

In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes. If both belts are​ used, find how long it takes to move the cans to the storage area.

Answers

Answer:

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable

            aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

            moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes.

To find - If both belts are​ used, find how long it takes to move the cans

              to the storage area.

Proof -

Given that,

Larger belt take 4 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Larger belt = 4 min/ shifting

Also,

Smaller belt take 6 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Smaller belt = 6 min/ shifting

Now,

As we know that Time is inversely proportional to time, so

Rate of Larger Belt = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] shifting/min

Rate of Smaller Belt = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] shifting/min

Now,

Let us assume that , if both belts used then,

Total time taken = x min/shifting

Then, Rate = [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] shifting/min

Now,

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{6 + 4}{24} = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{10}{24} = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

⇒10x = 24

⇒x = [tex]\frac{24}{10}[/tex] = 2.4 minutes

∴ we get

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Which is the graph of y= 2x-3?

Answers

Graph C looks correct.

Answer:

(A:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE:

in Slope Intercept form, the letter x determines the slope of the line, where 0 makes the line horizontal and 1 makes the line at a 45 degree angle, in this case to go from x to x plus 1 you would climb y two times, so it takes two units to go one unit to the right, so x is multiplied by 2

the addition at the end of the formula resembles how high up or down the line crosses the y axis, if the number is positive, then the line crosses that amount higher then 0, if it were a negative number, it would cross that much lower

hope this makes sence, dont worry, once you understand how slope intercept form works, you will never forget it, good luck with ur studies :)

The picture shows a complementary angle. Which means the angle will add up to 90 degrees. So to find the the value of r, take the two angles and add them up equal to 90:
3r+4+8r-2=90
Combine like terms:
11r+2=90
Subtract 2 to 90:
11r=88
Divide 11 to both sides:
r=8
