The eyes of a basketball player are 5 feet above the floor. The player is at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the point on the floor directly below the center of the basket. The rim of a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet of the floor. What is the angle of elevation from the player's eyes to the center of the rim?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of sight of the player to the rim, the height of the eyes of the player above the floor, the distance of the player from the center of the rim and the height of the center of the rim above the ground form a trapezium. The height  of the center of the rim above the ground and  the height of the eyes of the player above the floor form parallel sides.

Since The height  of the center of the rim above the ground = 10 ft and the height of the eyes of the player above the floor = 5 ft, the height of the triangular part of the trapezium is 10 ft - 5 ft = 5 ft. The base of this triangle is parallel to the side of distance of the player from the center of the rim = 15 ft. So the base of this triangle is 15 ft. Since the angle of elevation Ф of the line of sight of the player to the rim is adjacent to this base = 15ft and opposite to the height of the triangle = 5ft,

By trigonometric ratios,

tanФ =opposite/adjacent = 5 ft/15 ft = 1/3

Ф = tan⁻¹(1/3)

Ф = 18.435°

Ф ≅ 18.44°

Giorgio is learning to play the piano. By the end of each month, he has learned 3 new songs.


Part A Graph 5 points on the coordinate plane below that show the total number of songs Giorgio has learned by the end of each month from month 1 to month 5.


Which equation represents the relationship between the independent variable, x , and the dependent variable, y?

Answers

Answer: y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is y=3x because every month Giorgio learns a new song. so for the first month they learned 3 songs and in the second month they learn 3 more that adds up to 6 song total, so if you just times the month by 3 you will get your answer.

tickets and 1 Section B tickets.
ii)
Write 2 equations in a and b to represent the information above.
Calculate the cost of a Section A and Section B ticket using the Elimination / Addition
Method.

Answers

ANSWER: a=12 b=15
Explanation: (look at work below)

4a + 1b = 63 (eq1)
5a + 3b = 105 (eq2)
-12a + -3b = -189 (subt. eq1 from eq2)
————————-
-7a = -84
a = 12
4(12) + 1b = 63 (plug in the a value)
48 + 1b = 63
b = 15

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown number of inches.

If the area of the rectangle is 22 square inches, what is the value of the unknown number?

Answers

Given:

Short sides of a rectangle = 2 inches.

Area of the rectangle = 22 square inches.

The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown number of inches.

To find:

The unknown number.

Solution:

Let x be the unknown number. Then the longer side of the rectangle is (x-3) inches.

We know that the area of a rectangle is

[tex]A=length\times width[/tex]

The area of the rectangle is 22 square inches.

[tex]22=2(x-3)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]11=x-3[/tex]

Add 3 on both sides.

[tex]11+3=x-3+3[/tex]

[tex]14=x[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the unknown number is 14.

You and Mr. Fowles have decided to race each other at the Boston Marathon (26 miles long). Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. He knows your best time is 3 miles per hour so he gives you a 3 mile lead. When will he catch you? How far behind are you when Mr. Fowles finishes the race? How much longer will it take for you to finish?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.

Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour

I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:

time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour

a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:

time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3

(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3

3d + 9 = 4.2d

1.2d = 9

d = 7.5 miles

He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.

b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:

distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile

Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile

c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour

Two
angles, ZJ and ZK are supplementary. The measure of ZJ is (2x+5)°. The
measure of ZK is (3x-10)°. What is the measure of ZK?

Answers

Answer:

ZK = 95 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are when the sum of 2 angles equals 180 degrees. Since ZJ and ZK are supplementary, we can add both of them to equal 180 degrees.

ZJ + ZK = 180

Our first objective: find the value of x

(2x + 5) + (3x - 10) = 180

2x + 5 + 3x - 10 = 180

Combine like terms

5x - 5 = 180

Add 5 to both sides to isolate variable x

5x = 175

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate variable x

x = 35

Plug in x value for ZK expression

Calculate the distance Katie rides her bike if she rides 7/10 mile each day for 9 days?

Answers

Answer:

6.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

7/10 = 0.7

0.7 x 9 = 6.3 miles after 9 days

The distance Katie rides her bike if she rides 7/10 mile each day for 9 days is 6.3 miles.

What is Distance ?

Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction.

We can define distance as to how much ground an object has covered despite its starting or ending point

Katie rides her bike 7/10 mile each day for 9 days

In 1 day she covers a distance of 0.7 mile

so in 9 days she will cover

=0.7 * 9

= 6.3 miles

Therefore the distance Katie rides her bike if she rides 7/10 mile each day for 9 days is 6.3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the number in ascending order,

12,15,17,19,19,20,24,26

Median = The average of the 4th and 5th number

[tex] = \frac{19 + 19}{2} \\ = 19[/tex]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you have to order the values from least to greatest.

12, 15, 17, 19, 19, 20, 24, 26

there are 8 terms (note that 2 of them are 19)

n = 8

median = (n + 1) ÷ 2

            =(8 + 1)/2

            =9/2 = 4.5

it's 19 because the median falls between those two (19) data points.

(C) The line x=25,000 is an asymptote of the graph

(D)The line y=0 is an asymptote of the graph

Answer: it’s D. I took the test

The correct  interpretation are,

The asymptote indicates that the original value of the vehicle approached $25,000

The line y=0 is an asymptote of the graph

Graph of function:

From the given graph,

It is observed that graph is never intersect the x- axis. Therefore, x-axis will be the asymptote.

The equation of x- axis is y= 0.

Since at x= 0, the value of y = 25,000 , It means that  the original value of the vehicle approached $25,000.

The x- intercept is the point where graph crosses the x-axis.

. A soccer ball manufacturer claims the diameters of their ball have a standard deviation of 2 mm when properly inflated. Based on a random sample of 10 balls you find a standard deviation of 3.2 mm. Does the sample suggest the standard deviation is higher than that claimed by the manufacturer?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, there is significant evidence to support the claim that sample standard deviation is higher than that claimed by the manufacturer

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample standard deviation, s = 3.2

Population standard deviation, σ = 2

Defining the Null and alternative hypothesis :

H0 : σ = 2

H1 : σ > 2

The test statistic :

Use the Relation :.

[(n - 1)*s²] ÷ σ²

[(10 - 1) * 3.2²] ÷ 2²

(9 * 10.24) ÷ 4

92.16 ÷ 4

= 23.04

We obtain the Pvalue for the distribution :

Using the Pvalue from Chisquare distribution calculator :

Pvalue(Chisquare score, df)

df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

Pvalue(23.04, 9) = 0.006107
