Holding a ruler upright at arm’s distance (24 in.), Ronnie aligned the bottom of the ruler with a mark on the utility pole that was about 5 feet above the ground. He saw that the top of the pole aligned with the 6-inch mark on the ruler. Then he took 40 long strides to reach the pole. If each stride was about one yard (3 feet), then the top of the pole is about how many feet high?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing obviously not to scale but... Red segment is the ruler, at least the part between 5 and 6 inches, 1 inch long. Brown segment is the pole, ground to the top. Leftmost point is the eye, green line is the horizontal. The triangles are similar (AAA, the vertical lines are parallel), the ratio of the side is the same as the ratio of the heights. The height of the larger triangle (measured across the green line is

[tex]40 yd \times 3\frac{ft}{yd} \times 12\frac{in}{ft}= 1440''[/tex].

Ratio of the height is then [tex]1440\div24 = 60[/tex].

At this point the height of the pole is 60 times the length of the measure on the ruler, or 60 inches, that is 5 feet. Add the 5 feet the pole was starting from, it's 10 feet.

A cube pyramid has 7 at its base and 9.4 for its height what is the answer?

Answers

Answer:

Assuming this is volume, the answer is 153.33

Step-by-step explanation:

In a cube pyramid, the sides of the base are all the same, so if one side is 7, all of them are seven. To find the area of the base, the formula Area=Length x Width is used. Because the base is a square, the formula is simplified into Area=Side Length x Side Length. This gives us 49. The next step is to multiply this base times the height, 9.4, which is 460.6. However, this is the volume of a rectangular prism with those dimentions. A pyramid is a third of a rectangular prism. So, the answer is multiplied by 1/3, which is 153.33.

How long will it take Eniola to save $5,000 if she started with $500 and found a rate of 6. 2%? Round to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

38.28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time period is shown below:

Given that

RATE = 6.2%

PV = $500

PMT = $0

FV = $5,000

The formula is shown below:

= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the time period is 38.28 years

Hence, in order to save $5,000 it would take 38.28 years

which trig ratio
determine which trig ratio to use to solve for x

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.cos

2.sin

3.cos

4.tan

5.sin

6.tan

Step-by-step explanation:

remember the basic trigonometry setup ?

the norm circle (radius = 1) with a horizontal and a vertical line through the center of the circle.

and then there is an angle at the center indicated by the horizontal line and an inclined (by that angle) radius line connecting the center and the circle arc.

this inclined radius line is then the baseline (Hypotenuse) of a right-angled triangle, and the legs of that triangle are sine and cosine of the angle at the center (sine is the vertical leg, cosine is the vertical leg).

in essence (at least it works for me), when given such right-angled triangle problems, I always try to rotate and/or flip this triangle until it looks like the described situation above.

the only other thing to remember is that for triangles inside circles with a different radius than 1, everything is multiplied by the actual radius (it really happens also for the norm circle, but multiplying by 1 does not really change anything, right ?).

so, now for the given problems :

1)

x is the radius of the circle.

we can make 68° the defining angle of that trigonometric situation. so, the top right vertex would be the center of the circle with radius x.

then

30 = cos(68)×x

x = 30/cos(68)

= 80.08401488...

2)

60 is the radius of the circle.

x is the defining angle.

then

15 = sin(x)×60

sin(x) = 15/60 = 1/4

x = 14.47751219...°

3)

x is the radius of the circle.

22° is the defining angle.

then

14 = cos(22)×x

x = 14/cos(22)

= 15.0994864...

4)

the unnamed side is the radius of the circle. let's call it "s".

54° is the defining angle.

then

47 = cos(54)×s

x = sin(54)×s

x/47 = sin(54)×s / (cos(54)×s) = sin(54)/cos(54) = tan(54)

x = 47×tan(54) or 47×sin(54)/cos(54)

= 64.68995026...

5)

14 is the radius of the circle.

41° is the defining angle.

then

x = sin(41)×14

= 9.184826406...

6)

the unnamed side is the radius of the circle. let's call it "s".

x is the defining angle.

then

57 = cos(x)×s

9 = sin(x)×s

9/57 = sin(x)×s / (cos(x)×s) = sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x)

x = 8.972626615...°

Sofia buys 3.8 pounds of potatoes for $0.85 per pound. Flynn buys 4.2 pounds of potatoes for $0.75 per pound.

How much more does Sofia spend than Flynn?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. $0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

I would find out the total price of potatoes for each person:

Sofia: $0.85 x 3.8lb = $3.23

Flynn: $0.75 x 4.2lb = $3.15

To get the final answer, I would subtract to find the difference between the two prices.

$3.23 - $3.15 = $0.08

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 8π11 radians and a radius of 7. 2 ft? Use 3. 14 for π and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth. Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answers

The area of the sector will be 59.19 ft². The area of a circle's sector is the portion of the area encompassed inside the sector's perimeter.

What is an area of the sector?

The area of a circle's sector is the amount of space encompassed inside the sector's perimeter. The origin of a sector is always the circle's center.

The region of a circle encompassed by its two radii and the arc connecting them is known as the sector of a circle.

The area of a circle is found as;

A = πr²

A = π(7.2 ft)²

A = 162.78 ft²

The area of the sector is the ratio of the provided slope to the angle of the complete circle which is similar to 2π;

[tex]\rm A_S= (162.78 )\times \frac{8\pi }{11 \times 2\pi} = 59.19 \ ft^2[/tex]

Hence the area of the sector will be 59.19 ft².

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation you can solve in only one step. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.
It’s simple to do one step equations

Let’s take x = -5 + 7 for example.
First, we need to remove -5. We can do this by adding 5 to -5 to make it zero. Since we added 5, we have to add 5 to seven. What ever you do on one side, you have to do to the other. 5 + 7 = 12. Now all that’s left on the equation is x = 12 and that would be your answer. Im not good at explaining things but I hope this helps you!
