A 28 foot ladder leans up against a building and reaches the base of a window that is 20 feet high. How far is the base of the ladder from the base of the building? Round your answer to the nearest whole foot

A 16 feet

B 20 feet

C 24 feet

D 34 feet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The distance between base of the ladder from the base of the building is given by option B) 20 feet.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle,

The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Length of the ladder = 28 foot

Here, the ladder forms the hypotenuse, and the height of the window (20 feet)

And the distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the building (let's call it x feet) are the other two sides.

So, we have:

Ladder² = Height² + Distance²

28² = 20² + x²

Now, let's solve for x:

x² = 28²- 20²

x² = 784 - 400

x² = 384

Now, take the square root of both sides to find x:

x = √384

x ≈ 19.6 feet

Rounding to the nearest whole foot, the distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the building is 20 feet.

Therefore, the distance between base of the ladder and building is equal to option B) 20 feet.

the figure below is a square . Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{14}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In any square with side length [tex]s[/tex], the diagonal of the square is equal to [tex]s\sqrt{2}[/tex]. Since the side length of this square is [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex], the diagonal is equal to [tex]\sqrt{7}\cdot \sqrt{2}=\boxed{\sqrt{14}}[/tex].

Alternatively, you can form two 45-45-90 triangles with the diagonal of the square. The diagonal acts as the hypotenuse for the both these triangles, and the legs of both triangles are equal to the side length of the square. To find the length of the diagonal, use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex], where [tex]c[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are the two legs of the triangle.

In this question, both legs are equal to [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex], and we're solving for the diagonal, which is the hypotenuse in this case:

[tex]\sqrt{7}^2+\sqrt{7}^2=c^2,\\c^2=14,\\c=\boxed{\sqrt{14}}[/tex]

What is the area of the triangle in centimeters
squared?

Answers

Answer:

A = 112cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = (bh) / 2

b = base length and h  = height

The triangle shown has a given base length of 14cm and a given height of 16cm

Hence area = ( 16 * 14 ) / 2

16 * 14 = 224

224 / 2 = 112

A = 112cm²

The money m (in £) Billy has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Enter a formula for the money he can spend and enter how much he has to spend if he earns £150 a week and pays £42 in tax.

Answers

Answer:

m = w - t

£108

Step-by-step explanation:

m = Money Billy has to spend per week :

m = wage, w - tax, t

Hence,

m = w - t

Given;

Wage = £150 ; tax = £42

m = £150 - £42

m = £108

Question from Venn diagram solving... plz solve. Worth 15 points

Answers

Answer:

For this type of problem, it is best to use Venn diagrams as shown in the picture. The areas where the circles intersect are the mutual events that occur together. The area where all circles intersect is denoted as x. These are the students who play all sports. Assuming all of the students play sports in the school, all of the numbers in the circles should add up to 405. The remaining area would be the difference. The solution is as follows:

Students who play tennis and hockey: 45 - x

Students who play hockey and softball: 60 - x

Students who play only tennis and softball: 39 - x

Students who only play tennis:

251 - 45 + x - 39 +x -x = x + 167

Students who only play hockey:

157 - x - 45 + x - 60 + x = x + 52

Students who only play softball:

111 - x - 60 + x - 39 + x = x + 12

The sum of all of these should be 405:

45-x+60-x+39-x+x+167+x+52+x+12 = 405

Solving for x,

x = 30

Therefore, there are 30 pupils who play all sports; 15 pupils who play tennis and hockey; 30 pupils who play hockey and softball; 9 pupils who play tennis and softball; 197 pupil who only play tennis; 82 pupils who only play hockey; and 42 pupils who only play softball.

Combining functions: Consider functions f and g.

Answers

Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f be a function of two variables that has continuous partial derivatives and consider the points

A(8, 9),

B(10, 9),

C(8, 10),

and

D(11, 13).

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of the vector AB is 9 and the directional derivative at A in the direction of

AC is 2. Find the directional derivative of f at A in the direction of the vector AD.

(Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of [tex]\vec{u}[/tex] AD is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Directional of a function f in direction of the unit vector [tex]\vec{u}=(a,b)[/tex] is denoted by [tex]D\vec{u}f(x,y)[/tex],

[tex]D\vec{u}f(x,y)=f_{x}\left ( x ,y\right ).a+f_{y}(x,y).b[/tex].

Now the given points are

[tex]A(8,9),B(10,9),C(8,10) and D(11,13)[/tex],

Step 2:

The vectors are given as

AB = (10-8, 9-9),the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AB} = \frac{AB}{\left \| AB \right \|}=(1,0)[/tex]

AC=(8-8,10-9), the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AC} = \frac{AC}{\left \| AC \right \|}=(0,1)[/tex]

AC=(11-8,13-9), the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AD} = \frac{AD}{\left \| AD \right \|}=\left (\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5} \right )[/tex]

Step 3:

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AB}[/tex] is 9,

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AB}f=f_{x} \cdot 1 + f_{y}\cdot 0\\f_{x} =9[/tex]

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AC}[/tex] is 2,

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AB}f=f_{x} \cdot 0 + f_{y}\cdot 1\\f_{y} =2[/tex]

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AD}[/tex] is

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f=f_{x} \cdot \frac{3}{5} + f_{y}\cdot \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f=9 \cdot \frac{3}{5} + 2\cdot \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f= \frac{27+8}{5} =7[/tex]

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of  [tex]\vec{u}_{AD}[/tex] is  7.

It is not clear to me what this means. Is the 40% for each year for 3 years or is the interest rate = 40% period. I know that in some of the poorer countries, this is not an unusual amount to pay for each year he holds the loan.

I will take it as 40% for each year for 3 years.

Mohamed and Miguel go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Mohamed spends a total of $18.25 on two bags of popcorn and three
drinks. Miguel spends a total of $27.50 for four bags of popcorn and two drinks.
a) Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.
b) Using your system from part a), determine and state the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

Answers

If p is the price of a bag of popcorn and d is the price of a drink
2p + 3d = 18.25 Mohamed’s order
4p + 2d = 27.50 Miguel’s order
If we double the first equation
4p + 6d = 36.50
Now subtract the second equation (find the difference between them)
4d = 9.00
d = 2.25
Substitute in the first equation
2p + 3 x 2.25 = 18.25
2p = 18.25 - 6.75 = 11.50
p = 11.50 / 2 = 5.75

Popcorn was $5.75 a bag and drinks were $2.25 each

Tan(65) = n / 15

Tan(65) x 15 = n

n = 32.16 = 32ft

Answer:

32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a right triangle and the angle of elevation (one of the acute angles in the triangle) as 65°, as well as one of the legs (sides that make up the right triangle) as 15

We need to find the height of the triangle.

Let's make the height of the triangle (the side we need to find) x

Since we need to find the height of the triangle, let's use tangent. As we have the angle of elevation given, we'll use that.

Recall that tangent is [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

in reference to the angle of elevation, the opposite side is x, and the adjacent side is 15

that means that:

tan(65)=[tex]\frac{x}{15}[/tex]

plug tan(65) into your calculator (make sure it's on degree mode!)

tan(65)≈2.14

2.14=[tex]\frac{x}{15}[/tex]

multiply both sides by 15 to clear the fraction

32.1=x

The problem asks us to round to the nearest foot, so the height of the building is 32 feet
