A lighthouse casts a 128-ft shadow. A nearby lamppost that measures 5
feet casts an 8-foot shadow. What is the height of the light house, rounded
to the nearest foot? *

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.

Does the graph shown below represent y as a linear function of x?

Answers

Answer: No, it is not a linear function

Explanation:

We can see that it's a function because it passes the vertical line test, but it's not linear. To be linear, it needs to be one single straight line only (instead of composed of multiple pieces of different straight lines). This graph is considered a piecewise function.

So if your teacher asked "is this a function?" then the answer would be "yes". However, the "linear" portion is what makes the final answer "no".

Um criador de ovelhas possui um total de 36 ovelhas e resolveu vender alguma delas no primeiro dia vendeu metade das ovelhas no segundo dia vendeu um terço e no terceiro dia vendeu a nona parte quantas abelhas sobraram?

Answers

Answer:

2 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 36 sheep  and you sell:

first day    1/2 of them  you sold               18

second day  1/3  them you sold                12

On thhe third day  1/9  them you sold       4

Therefore you sold 18 + 12  + 4  = 34

And you still have  2 sheep

On vacation, Tim plans to spend less than $30 a day. If he spends $12 for food, what is the greatest number of dollars he can spend per day on other things? (Express in whole dollars.) Write an inequality and solve.

Answers

Answer:

So, Tim spent maximum $ 18 dollars on other things

Step-by-step explanation:

Total spent per day is less than $ 30.

Money spent on food= $ 12

So, the maximum amount amount spent on the things is

= $ 30 - $ 12 = $ 18

So, Tim spent maximum $ 18 dollars on other things.

Rectangle shaped cross section is formed by intersection of plane and prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangular Prism.

To find: Shape of Cross Section when a plane intersect the prism diagonally

A plane intersect the Rectangular prism .i.e, Cuboid diagonally which means plane passes from top edge of cuboid to edge on bottom on opposite side.

Figure is attached.

In this way we get a Rectangular shaped Cross section which includes edges of cuboid and diagonals of the side faces.

Therefore, Rectangle shaped cross section is formed by intersection of plane and prism.

is AC greater than, less than, or equal to BC? explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

AC is greater than BC

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the angle of a straight line is 180°, so angle B as a whole is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle YBC + angle ABC = 180 degrees. As angle YBC is a right angle, signified by the small square on the angle, it is 90 degrees. Therefore,

90 degrees + angle ABC = 180 degrees

subtract 90 degrees from both sides to isolate angle ABC

angle ABC = 90 degrees

Therefore, as angle ABC is equal to 90 degrees, and a right angle is 90 degrees, triangle ABC has a right angle, making it a right triangle.

In a right triangle, using the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other side. Since side AC is opposite the right angle, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

As the length of a side has to be greater than 0, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

AB² > 0

AC² > BC²

square root both sides

AC > BC

Therefore, AC is greater than BC

if the lines shown below are perpendicular if the green line has a slope of -1/4 what is the slipped of the red line

Answers

Answer:

C; 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes equal -1

in that case, we have it that;

m1 * m2 = -1

where m1 is the slope of the first line and m2 is the slope of the second line

Hence,

m2* -1/4 = -1

-m2/4 = -1

-m2 = -4

m2 = 4

A ball is thrown upward from the balcony of a building and falls to the ground. The height of the ball h meters, above the ground after t seconds is modelled by the function h(t) = -5t^2 + 15t + 45 what is the maximum height?

Answers

Answer:

56.25metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the ball h meters, above the ground after t seconds modeled by the function h(t) = -5t^2 + 15t + 45, at maximum height, the velocity is zero, hence;

dh/dt = 0

Since dh/dt = -10t + 15

-10t+ 15 = 0

-10t = -15

t = 15/10

t = 3/2

t = 1.5secs

Substitute t = 1.5 into the expression given

h(1.5) =  -5(1.5)^2 + 15(1.5) + 45

h(1.5) = -5(2.25)+22.5+45

h(1.5) = -11.25+67.5

h(1.5) = 56.25

Hence the maximum height is 56.25metres

A chord is 6cm from the centre of a circle of radius 14cm. calculate the length of the chord with workings​

Answers

Answer:

25.28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The chord is 6cm away from the centre of the circle . And the radius of the circle is 14 cm . We know that the perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord .

This will form a right angle triangle with the distance between centre and the code as its perpendicular and the length of radius as hypotenuse .

[tex]\implies Base^2+Perpendicular^2=Hypontenuse^2 \\\\\implies b^2 + (6cm)^2=(14cm)^2 \\\\\implies b^2 + 36cm^2= 196cm^2 \\\\\implies b^2 = 196cm^2-36cm^2 \\\\\implies b^2 = 160cm^2 \\\\\implies b=\sqrt{160cm^2}\\\\\implies b = 12.64 cm [/tex]

Hence the required answer is 12.64 × 2 = 25.28cm .

Thanks to the given information we can say that the smaller leg of the left triangle is

(11√7)/2

while the other leg is

11/2 √7 * √3 = 11/2 √21

the triangle on the right has two congruent legs. For the Pythagorean theorem

x^2 = 2 (11/2 √21)^2

x^2 = 2  * 121/4 * 21

x^2 = 2541 / 2

x = √11^2 * 3 * 7/√2

x = 11√21/√2

2. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for each graph described. Line passing through (-5, 12) and parallel to the line whose equation is y = 2x + 5. Y =​

Answers

Answer:   y = 2x+22

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

Explanation:

The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b

m = 2 = slope

b = 5 = y intercept

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. So the answer will be in the form y = 2x+c, where b and c are different numbers. Since b = 5, this means c must be some other number. If c = 5, then we'd have the exact same line.

Let's plug in (x,y) = (-5,12), along with the slope m = 2, and solve for c

y = mx+c

12 = 2(-5)+c

12 = -10+c

12+10 = c

22 = c

c = 22

Since m = 2 and c = 22, we go from y = mx+c to y = 2x+22

The equation of the parallel line is y = 2x+22

The graph is below.
