If a carpenter nails a 15-ft brace to the wall 9 feet above the floor, how far (in ft) from the base of the wall should he nail the brace to the floor? ___________________________________ ft.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the wall is 9ft from the ground.

Brace nailed to the wall is 15ft.

Note that the brace to the wall will be slant hence it will look like the hypotenus side of a triangle.

The question requires the solution to the distance from the base of the wall to the brace.

Note from Pythagoras theorem

a^2 = b^2+c^2

Where a = 15ft

b = 9ft

Hence, from the base of the wall, the brace will be nailed 9ft

c = ?

15^2 = 9^2+c^2

225 = 81+c^2

225-81 = c^2

144 = c^2

c =√144

c = 12ft

two positive intergers have a product of 50 one interger is twice the other . what are the intergers

Answers

Answer:

10 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be x and y.

xy = 50

x = 2y

Put x as 2y in the first equation.

(2y)y = 50

2y² = 50

y² = 50/2

y² = 25

y = √25

y = 5

Put y as 5 in the second equation.

x = 2(5)

x = 10

A6 inch personal pizza has 610 calories, with 240 of those from fat. A 12 inch pizza is cut into 8 slices.
Estimate the number of calories in one slice of a 12 inch pizza.

Answers

Answer:

  305 calories, 120 from fat

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the area of the larger pizza to that of the smaller pizza is the square of the ratio of the diameters. So, the larger pizza has an area that is ...

  (12/6)² = 4

times that of the smaller pizza. When that area is divided into 8 parts, each part has an area that is 4/8 = 1/2 the area of the smaller pizza.

We expect a slice of the larger pizza to have 1/2 the calories of a smaller pizza, so 305 calories, 120 from fat.

__

610/2 = 305; 240/2 = 120.

Phoenix hiked the Rocky Path Trail last week. It took four days to complete the trip. The first two days she hiked a total of 26 miles. The second and third days she averaged 12 miles per day. The last two days she hiked a total of 28 miles. The total hike for the first and third days was 22 miles. How many miles long was the trail?

Answers

Answer:

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let he hiked a,b,c and d miles on each of the four days respectively.

then, according to the question.

a+b=26...i

b+c= 24...ii

c+d=28...iii

a+c=22...iv

now, adding i,ii,iii,iv we get

2(a+b+c+d) = 100

a+b+c+d= 50 miles.

Hence, he traveled in all 50 miles.

The public radio show "A Prairie Home Companion," features news from the fictional town of Lake Wobegon, MN, home to many Norwegian bachelor farmers, and where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average." Suppose average means average for the town. Such a town could not possibly exist, because (select all that apply)

a. not all women are strong

b. not all the children can be above average

c. not all Norwegian bachelor farmers are good looking

d. half the children must be below average

Answers

Answer:

b. not all the children can be above average

d. half the children must be below average

Step-by-step explanation:

In theory, all women could be strong and all men could be good looking, however, since the average is calculated based on the town children, it is not possible for all children to be above average.

Assuming a normal distribution, half the children must be at or below average, while the other half must be at or above the average.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

b. not all the children can be above average

d. half the children must be below average

Answer:

Second and last options are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

If all the children are above average, then the average should not include the average of the children. Because it is impossible for a data set to be have values greater than it's average.

Solve the system of equations for the variables: 5x+2y=13 x+2y=9

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 13

x + 2y = 9

Add both equations.

6x + 4y = 22

Solve for x.

6x = 22 - 4y

x = 22/6 - 4/6y

Put x as 22/6 - 4/6y in the second equation and solve for y.

22/6 - 4/6y + 2y = 9

-4/6y + 2y = 9 - 22/6

4/3y = 16/3

y = 16/3 × 3/4

y = 48/12

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the first equation and solve for x.

5x + 2(4) = 13

5x + 8 = 13

5x = 13 - 8

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

Answer:

x = 1, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y = 13

x+2y = 9

Subtracting both equations

=> 5x+2y-x-2y = 13-9

=> 4x = 4

=> x = 1

Now, Putting x = 1 in the first equation

=> 5(1)+2y = 13

=> 2y = 13-5

=> 2y = 8

=> y = 4

Find the measure of each angle: Supplementary angles with measures (2x+3)° and (3x+2)°.

Answers

Answer: 73 degrees and 107 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of supplementary angles are 180 degrees. So you add 2x+3 and 3x+2. Then you get 5x+5=180.

Subtract 5 from both sides. Now the equation is 5x=175.

Divide 5 on each side. x=35

Replace x with 35 in the equations. The angles are 73 and 107.

They both add up to 180 degrees so it is correct.

The relative frequency distribution of the number of phobias reported by a hypothetical sample of 500 college students is given as follows.

0–2 0.48
3–5 0.26
6–8 0.12
9–11 0.09
12–14 0.05

Required:
a. What is the probability that a college student expresses fewer than three phobias?
b. What is the probability that a college student expresses more than eight phobias?
c. What is the probability that a college student has between 3 and 11 phobias?

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.48

b. 0.14

c. 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

0 - 2        0.48

3 - 5        0.26

6 - 8        0.12

9- 11        0.09

12- 14       0.05

Based on the above information

a. The probability for fewer than three phobias is

= P( x < 3)

= 0.48

b.  The probability for more than eight phobias is

= P( x >8)

= 0.09 + 0.05  

= 0.14

c. Probability between 3 and 11 phobias is  

= P(3 < x < 11)

= 0.26 + 0.12  + 0.09

= 0.47

find the probability of being delt 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit in 8 card poker

Answer: 0.003757(approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of combinations of selecting r things out of n things is given by:-

[tex]^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total number of ways of choosing 8 cards out of 52 = [tex]^{52}C_8[/tex]

Total number of ways to choose 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit = [tex]^{13}C_5\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1[/tex]  [since 1 suit has 13 cards]

The required probability = [tex]=\dfrac{^{13}C_5\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1}{^{52}C_8}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\dfrac{13!}{5!8!}\times13\times13\times13}{\dfrac{52!}{8!44!}}\\\\=\dfrac{24167}{6431950}\\\\\approx0.003757[/tex]

rounded to the nearest whole, what is the radius length if minor arcYZ = 12 and angleYXZ is one-third of a full circle? (i guessed it idk if it’s right)

Answers

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of arc YZ = 12 units

m∠YXZ = one third of the full circle = [tex]\frac{360}{3}[/tex] = 120°

From the formula of arc length,

Length of arc = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}(2\pi r)[/tex]

Where θ = Central angle subtended by the arc

r = radius of the circle

By substituting these values in the formula,

12 = [tex]\frac{120}{360}(2\pi r)[/tex]

12 = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\pi r[/tex]

[tex]18=\pi r[/tex]

r = [tex]\frac{18}{\pi }[/tex]

r = 5.73

r ≈ 6 units

Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.
