Fill in the blank.
The light from a lamp casts a shadow of a man standing 10 feet away from
the lamppost. The shadow is 5 feet long. The angle of elevation from the tip
of the shadow to the lamp is 50°. To the nearest foot, the lamppost is _________
feet tall.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x ≈ 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.

The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.

We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15

x being the height of the lamppost.

Now we solve.

tan(50) = 1.1918

1.1918 *15 = x

x = 17.876

Now round to the nearest foot.

x ≈ 18 ft

a circle has a circumstance of 20. it has an arc on length 4. what is the central angle of the arc in degrees?

Answers

Answer:

∠72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle has a circumference of 20 and an arc with a length of 4, we can simply set up a ratio to determine the angle of the arc in degrees:

[tex]\frac{4}{20} = \frac{x}{360}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]1440 = 20x\\[/tex]

Divide both sides by '20':

x = 72°.

Therefore, the measure of the central angle of the arc is ∠72°.

the graident of line AB is 3
what is the value of d

Answers

Answer:

d = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of ab then equate to 3.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (d, 21)

m = [tex]\frac{21-6}{d-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{d-4}[/tex] = 3 ( multiply both sides by d - 4 )

3(d - 4) = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

d - 4 = 5 ( add 4 to both sides )

d = 9

Answer:

A =200.96 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle is 8 in

The area of the circle is

A = pi r^2

A = 3.14 * 8^2

A =200.96 in ^2

Answer:

A is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle= 3.14*8^2

8^2=64

64*3.14=200.96

A train from Philadelphia to Boston left Philadelphia at 1 pm and arrived to Boston at 4 pm. What was its average speed if the distance it covered was 270 miles?

Answers

Answer:

90 miles per hour is the average speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Average Speed can be given as follows:

[tex]\text{Average Speed}= \dfrac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}} {\text{Total Time Taken}}[/tex]

Here time taken is from 1 PM to 4 PM i.e.

Total Time taken = (4-1) hours = 3 hours

Also, it is given that the Total distance covered = 270 miles

As per the formula above:

[tex]\text{Average Speed} = \dfrac{270}{3}\\\Rightarrow \text{Average Speed} = 90\ miles/hour[/tex]

So, answer is: 270 miles/ hour is the average speed of the train from Philadelphia to Boston.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when rounding, we take a look at the digit next to the digit we are rounding. So if I were to ask for you to round 122 to the nearest hundred, then the answer would be 100.

Remember that we round down if the digit next to it is 0-4. If the digit is 5-9, then we round up.

In this case, the digit next to the 2 is a 4. We know that we round down with a 4, so we go to the nearest whole billion, in this case 2 billion.

The system has no solutions.
To do this question I started out by trying to solve the simultaneous equations using substitution.
First we can simplify 6x = 12y - 24 by dividing everything by 6, which gives us:
x = 2y - 4
Then we can substitute this into the second equation:
30y - 15(2y - 4) + 30 = 0
30y - 30y + 60 + 30 = 0
90 = 0
As this is obviously not true, we can conclude that the system has no solution.

A cyclist travels 3 miles in 15 minutes and then a further 7 miles in 35 minutes without stopping.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First cyclist travels [tex]3\ miles[/tex] in [tex]15\ min[/tex]

Then, [tex]7\ miles[/tex] in [tex]35\ min[/tex]

Average speed is given by [tex]=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time taken}}[/tex]

[tex]V_{avg}=\dfrac{3+7}{15+35}[/tex]

[tex]V_{avg}=\dfrac{10}{50}=\dfrac{1}{5}\ mile/min[/tex]

A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 22.2 in. The slant height of the pyramid is 88.2 in. What is the height of the​ pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

The height is 87.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the height of a square pyramid using the Pythagoras theorem, this is because the slant height the height and the section of the base form a right triangle

the slant height is equivalent to the hypotenuse

the height is equivalent to the opposite

while the base(half) is the adjacent

Given

the base of the pyramid= [tex]22.2 in[/tex]

the adjacent is = [tex]\frac{22.2}{2} = 11.1 in[/tex]

the slant height (hypotenuse)= [tex]88.2 in[/tex]

we know that Pythagoras theorem states that "The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle ('a' and 'b' in the triangle) is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse ('c').

[tex]c^2=a^2 + b^2[/tex]

[tex]hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2[/tex]

substituting we have

[tex]88.2^2=opp^2+11.1^2\\opp^2= 88.2^2-11.1^2\\opp^2=7779.24-123.21\\opp^2=7656.03\\opp=\sqrt{7656.03} \\opp=87.498\\opp=87.50 in[/tex]

How do you solve for all values of x by factoring

Answers

Answer:

Just follow the guideline given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve values of x by factoring, you need to follow these steps:

1. Move all terms to one side of the equation, usually the left, using addition or subtraction.

2. Factor the equation completely.

3. Set each factor equal to zero, and solve it.

4. List each solution from 3 as a solution to the original equation.

You usually end up with an answer like x =.. or x = ... and so on.
