A 180-inch pipe is cut into two pieces.one piece is three times the length of the other.find the length of the shorter piece.

Answers

Answer 1
Since the two lengths have a relationship to each other, you can use one variable for both

So the shorter length (n) plus the longer length (3n) add up to 180

n + 3n = 180
4n = 180
n = 45

so the shorter board is 45 inches, and the longer one is 3 x 45, or 135 inches.

Hope this helps!
Answer 2

The length of the shorter piece is 45 inches.

How to determine the length of the shorter piece.

Let's represent the length of the shorter piece as "x" inches.

According to the information given, the length of the longer piece would be three times the length of the shorter piece, which means it's 3x inches.

Since the total length of the pipe is 180 inches, we can set up an equation:

x (shorter piece) + 3x (longer piece) = 180

Now solve for x:

4x = 180

x = 45

Therefore, the length of the shorter piece is 45 inches.

Sin A 4/5.

Find
COSA + tan A

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite side (the one not connected to A) = 4

The hypotenuse is 5

The adjacent side needs to be found for the cosine and the tangent.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = opposite side = 4

b = adjacent side = ?

c = hypotenuse = 5

4^2 + x^2 = 5^2

16 + x^2 = 25          

x^2 = 25 - 16

x^2 = 9

x = sqrt(9)

x = 3

cos(A) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3/5

Tan(A) = opposite / adjacent = 4/3

cos(A) + tan(A) = 3/5 + 4/3

cos(A) + tan(A) = 9/15 + 20/15 = 29/15

Given: SinA = 4/5

To find: CosA + TanA

Solution:
16/25 + Cos²A = 1 [Sin²A + Cos²A = 1]
Cos²A = 1 - 16/25
Cos²A = 25 - 16/25
Cos²A = 9/25
CosA = 3/5
We know that TanA = SinA/CosA
TanA = (4/5)/(3/5)
TanA = 4/3
CosA + TanA = 3/5 + 4/3 = 29/15

suppose a 13 foot ladder is leaning against a building. Reaching to the bottom of a second floor window 12 ft above the ground. How far is the base of the ladder from the building? Round your answer to the nearest 10th

5 ft
4ft
3ft
6ft​

Answers

Answer: First Choice. 5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to know the idea of the Pythagorean theorem.

Since a building is straight, the base angle is a right angle, thus it would be a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

**NOTE** Please refer to the attachment below for the figure. (I drew it, so if it was not clear and understandable for you, please tell me.)

Solve:

Given information

a = 12 ft

c = 13 ft

b = unknow base length

Given formula for Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Substitute values into the formula

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify exponents

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 on both sides

144 + b² - 144= 169 - 144

b² = 25

Square root both sides

√b² = √25

Answer:

-1 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = Average

To find the mean simply add all the values and then divide that by the number of given values

So first add the 4 values together

1.5 + -2.6 + -3.4 + .5 = -4

Then divide the sum by the number of values ( there are 4 values )

-4 / 4 = -1

Q: Nitrates are organic compounds that are a main ingredient in fertilizers. When those fertilizers run off
into streams, the nitrates can have a toxic effect on
fish. An ecologist studying nitrate pollution in two
streams measures nitrate concentrations at 42 places on Stony Brook and 42 places on Mill Brook. The parallel dotplots display the data.


1. Explain what the dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph represents.


Answers

By looking at the dot graph, we can see that the single dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph, means that the ecologist find that in one of the 42 places measured in the Stony Brooks lake, the nitrate concentration was 12 mg/L

To understand this, first I want to give a brief explanation of how these graphs work.

You know that the ecologist did study the Nitrate pollution at 42 places in two lakes.

Each of these 42 places is represented with a dot in the corresponding graph.  Now looking at the graph, the position of the dots represents the nitrate concentration (you can see it in the horizontal axis) on one of these 42 places (42 dots for 42 places).

So, having a single dot above 12 in the Stony Brook graph, means that the ecologist find that in one of the 42 places measured in the Stony Brooks lake, the nitrate concentration was of 12 mg/L

3​​ of the previous length. How many miles of the coast did the algae previously cover?

Answers

The miles previously covered by algae is 6 miles

let m represent the miles of the coastline covered by algae before the clean-up  

fraction of miles covered after the clean-up = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x m = [tex]\frac{1}{3}m[/tex]

miles covered after the clean-up = 2 miles

[tex]\frac{1}{3}m[/tex] = 2 miles

to determine the value of m, make m the subject of the formula.

To do this, take the following step :

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

m = 2 miles x 3

m = 6 miles

If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if [tex](x-4)[/tex] and [tex](y+3)[/tex] vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of [tex]x-4[/tex] and [tex]y+3[/tex].

Let [tex]x=8[/tex] and [tex]y=2[/tex] as given in the problem. Substitute values:

[tex](8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20[/tex]

Hence, the maintained product is [tex]20[/tex].

Thus, we have the following equation:

[tex](x-4)(y+3)=20[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y=-1[/tex] to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] when [tex]y=-1[/tex]:

[tex](x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}[/tex]
