Two Boys are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long. One of them thinks that they can use a piece of plywood that is 4 feet long to cover the top of the frame.

This is one of theirs work.

a2 + b2 = c2
32 + b2 = 52
9 + b2 = 25
b2 = 16
b = 16−−√
b = 4

Why is his reasoning incorrect? Explain.


How long does the piece of plywood have to be to cover the top of the frame of the skateboard ramp? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show your work.

Another boys parents bought a 10 foot piece of plywood for him and his friend to use to cover the top of the frame. Draw and label a ramp they could create. Justify your work using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are acute, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and right angled triangle.

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining two sides.

The ramp has the form of a triangle. The height of the ramp is the vertical side of a triangle, the top of the frame is the hypotenuse while the length of the ramp is the base side of the triangle.

Let the hypotenuse be b Hence:

b² = 3² + 5²

b² = 9 + 25

b² = 34

b = 5.83 feet

Jomar decides that he needs to study for an average of 1 hour and 30 minutes
a day in order to prepare for his French test this Friday. He studies for 2 hours
each day on Saturday through Monday, but is too busy to study on Tuesday
and Wednesday. How long must Jomar study on Thursday to be prepared for
his test?

Answers

Answer:

Jomar needs to study for 3 hours on Thursday to be prepared for his test.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to make the average a certain amount of time over a certain number of days, we can first figure out the number of days and total amount needed. Here, we can see that the average is 1 hour and 30 minutes, and there are 6 days (Saturday-Thursday). Therefore, as

average = total / length, we can multiply both sides by length to get

average * length = total

Plugging 1.5 hours in for average and 6 days for length, we get

1.5 * 6 = 9 hours as the total amount needed to get an average of 1.5 hours a day

Our total so far is 2 hours for Saturday, 2 hours for Sunday, and 2 hours for Monday. This adds up to 6 hours, and we need 9. The difference between 9 and 6 is 3, meaning that Jomar needs to study for 3 hours on Thursday to be prepared for his test.

A ​$108,000 down payment would be? of the purchase price.

Answers

Answer: 10.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what the percentage of the down payment is of the purchase price of the house.

For such a question, the purchase price needs to be known.

We shall therefore assume a purchase price and you can use the process to find out your percentage.

Assume the purchase price is $1,000,000.

The percentage would be:

= Down payment / Purchase price * 100%

= 108,000 / 1,000,000

= 10.8%

Hello! answer: 781

Step-by-step explanation:

There's multiply ways to solve this but What im going to do is find the area of the whole thing as if it didnt have a huge chuck cut out of it then i will find the area of that separately and subtract so...

41 × 29 = 1189

29 - 12 = 17

17 × 24 = 408

1189 - 408 = 781 therefore the area is 781 Hope that helps!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the complete squares of the picture are 12, if we unite the other we can reach 15 squares circa

15 * 50 = 750 square units

3) Area = base x height = 12 * 9 = 108 cm^2

4) Area = (base x height)/2 = (24 * 16)/2 = 192 in^2

6) Area of the square = side ^ 2 = 12^2 = 144 cm^2

height of the triangle = 20 - 12 = 8 cm

Area of the triangle = (base x height)/2 = (12 * 8)/2 = 48 cm^2

Total area = 144 + 48 = 192 cm^2

7) radius = diameter / 2 = 20 : 2 = 10 cm

circumference = radius * 2 * pi = 20 * pi = 62.8 cm

area = radius^2 * pi = 100 * pi = 314.2 cm^2

10) √25 = 5

we have to find a  positive number that multiply by itself gives 25

12) √100 = 10

we have to find a positive number that multiply by itself gives 100

15) √64 = 8

we have to find a positive number that multiply by itself gives 64

Answers

To convert a percentage into a decimal, move the decimal two places back.

40%=0.40, or 0.4

This means that 0.4 is still equivalent to 40%

Remember that "of" means multiplication.

So 0.4*400=160

5 oranges cost $2. Find the cost of 20 oranges.

Answers

Answer:  $8

===================================================

Work Shown:

(5 oranges)/(2 dollars) = (20 oranges)/(x dollars)

5/2 = 20/x

5x = 2*20 .... cross multiply

5x = 40

x = 40/5 .... dividing both sides by 5

x = 8

20 oranges cost $8

--------------

Another way to approach the problem is to note that the jump from "5 oranges" to "20 oranges" is "times 4".

5*4 = 20

So we'll apply the "times 4" operation to the old cost of $2 to get the new cost being 2*4 = 8 dollars

Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

if 5 oranges cost $2 then 1 orange costs 2/5 of a dollar, or 40 cents

20 oranges multiplied by 40 cents is $8

or you can set up a proportion:

2/5 = x/20

cross-multiply to get:

5x = 40

x = 8

Fiona leaves $1600 in the bank for four years. It earns compound interest of 4% each year. Calculate the total amount Fiona has in the bank at the end of the four years

Answers

Answer:

A = $1,871.77

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

Where,

A = Total money in the bank

P = principal = $1,600

r = interest rate = 4% = 0.04

n = number of periods = 1 year

t = time = 4 years

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 1,600(1 + 0.04/1)^1*4

A = 1,600(1 + 0.04)^4

= 1600(1.04)^4

= 1600(1.16985856)

= 1,871.773696

Approximately,

A = $1,871.77

A rod 123.75 cm long is sawn into 16 equal lengths. If a wastage takes place of ¼ cm for each saw cut, what is the length of each piece?

Answers

Answer:

7.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A rod 123.75 cm long is sawn into 16 equal lengths.

The length of each rod is calculated as:

123.75cm/16 =

= 7.734375cm

If a wastage takes place of ¼ cm for each saw cut,

The length of each piece is calculated as:

7.734375cm - 1/4 cm

7.734375cm − 0.25 cm

7.484375cm

Approximately = 7.5 cm

Therefore, the length of each piece = 7.5 cm
