Ethan stands 256 cm at point C from a lamp post AB. He is 180 cm tall and his shadow from the lamp is 144 cm long. Find the height AB, in metres, of the lamp post.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:500 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height of ethan = 180 cm

length of shadow =144 cm

Distance of ethan from lamp =256 cm

from diagram, we can write

[tex]\Rightarrow tan \theta =\frac{FC}{EC}\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \tan \theta =\frac{AB}{BE}\quad \ldots (ii)[/tex]

From (i)  and (ii)  we get

[tex]\tan \theta =\frac{FC}{EC}=\frac{AB}{BE}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{180}{144}=\frac{h}{144+256}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h=\frac{180}{144}\times 400[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h=500\ cm[/tex]

So, height of lamp post AB is [tex]500\ cm[/tex]

What is the distribution property of multiplication?

The distributive property of multiplication states that when the sum of two (2) or more addends are multiplied by a given numerical value or factor, the same output would be produced as when each addend is multiplied respectively by the numerical value or factor, and the products are added together.

Note: i² is equal to -1 and i is equal to [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex].

By applying the distributive property of multiplication to the given expression, we have:

-3i(4 - 2i) = -3i(4) + 3i(2i)

-3i(4 - 2i) = -12i + 6(-1)

-3i(4 - 2i) = -12i - 6.

-3i(4 - 2i) = -6 - 12i.

Answers

Answer:

Hey there!

Angle x is equal to 148 degrees because it is supplementary with the angle of  32 degrees.

Let me know if this helps :)

You have a straight line between points C,P,D. A straight line is 180 degrees.

That 180 degrees is broken into two parts, with the line PB. One part is 32 degrees. The other part is called x. X is thus (180-32) degrees.

Nikki works at a store that sells consumer electronics. She earns $12 per hour, plus a commission of 5% of her total sales amount each day. Nikki worked 8 hours on Saturday. Including her commission, Nikki earned a total of $139 on Saturday. Which equation can be solved for x, Nikki’s total sales amount in dollars on Saturday?

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Nikki earns $12 per hour.

And she also earns a 5% or 0.05 commission of her total sales each day.

On Saturday, she worked eight hours and she earned $139. In other words, she earned 8(12) or $96 from working her hours and another $43 (139-96) from her commission.

Thus:

[tex]139=96+0.05x[/tex]

Where x represents Nikki's total sales on Saturday.

Further notes:

To solve, subtract 96 from both sides and divide by 0.05:

[tex]139=96+0.05x\\43=0.05x\\x=\$860[/tex]

Thus, her total sales that day were $860.

Louise Gaines is paid a bi-weekly salary of $6,000. To date, she has earned $96,000. Her filing

What is her Social Security tax withholding for this pay period?

Answers

Answer:

$5952

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Federal Insurance Contributions Act which is a U.S. payroll tax meant to fund Medicare and Social Security, the FICA tax is shared among the employer and the employee whereby the employers share is 7.65% of the employees gross income and the employees share is also 7.65% of their gross income with 6.2% being for social security and 1.45% being for Medicare.

Louise Gaines, therefore will have 6.2% of $96,000 or  $96,000 × 0.062 = $5952 withheld for the period.

The angle ∠DAB will be equal to 29 degrees.

What is an angle bisector?

The line or line segment that divides an angle into two equal halves is known as the internal angle bisector or (interior) bisector. An angle is a shape created by two rays that share a terminus and are referred to as the angle's sides and vertices, respectively.

Angles created by two rays are in the plane where the rays are located. The meeting of two planes also creates angles.

Given that in triangle ABC the angle ∠CAD is 29°. Then the angle will be calculated as below:-

The line AD is an angle bisector at point A of the triangle. Then the two angles ∠CAD and ∠DAB will be equal to each other.

∠CAD = ∠DAB

∠CAD = 29°

Therefore, the angle ∠DAB will be equal to 29 degrees.

-4.75 ​= x/2 what is x

Answers

Answer:

x= -9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out what the variable, x, is equal to. Therefore, we must isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

-4.75 = x/2

x is being divided by 2. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

2*(-4.75) = (x/2)*2

2*(-4.75)=x

2* -4.75=x

Multiply 2 and -4.75

-9.5=x

Let's check our solution. Plug -9.5 back in for x and solve.

-4.75= x/2

-4.75= -9.5/2

-4.75= -4.75

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

x is equal to -9.5

Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{19}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{x}{2} = - 4.75[/tex]

First convert the decimal to an improper fraction

That's

[tex] - 4.75 = - \frac{19}{4} [/tex]

So we have

[tex] \frac{x}{2} = - \frac{19}{4} [/tex]

Cross multiply

4x = - 38

Divide both sides by 4

We have the final answer as

[tex]x = \frac{19}{2} [/tex]

Eighty percent of adults drink coffee and seventy percent drink tea. What is the smallest possible percent of adults who drink both coffee and tea?

Answers

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Eighty percent ( 80%) of adults drink coffee and seventy ( 70%) percent drink tea.

Let the percent of the adults that drink coffee and tea be y

The total percentage of adults = 100

80 - y + y + 70 - y = 100

150 - y = 100

- y = 100 - 150

Y = 50.

Therefore, the smallest possible percent of adults who drink both coffee and tea is 50 %

A Simpler Answer:

Add together the probabilities.

80%+70%=150%

Therefore we overcounted 50 percent, so the least amount possible is [tex]\boxed{50\%}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Coordinate of point A = - 7, - 3

Number of points between point A and B = 12

Possible coordinate of point B

Possible coordinates of point B:

Two less than a number and five is 12 less than the number itself

Answers

Answer: x - 2 + 5 = x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

At first I was confused. Then I read the question again and translated it.

Less than translated means - 2.

A number, aka X.

and means plus(+).

when you put that together you get,

x - 2 + 5.

The next step is to translate to second part of the equation.

Is means equals(=).

So far we have: X - 2 + 5 = 12.

This is where I got confused...

After solving that peice, we have the words; " 12 less than the number it's self. I wasn't sure if 2 x's could be in the same equation. Now I know they can.

Above, we established that 'a number' is x.

Now, it's talking about that number again because it says; "The number itself." At first, I thought it was talking about 12 - 12! Then I realized that it's not.

The new equation, after understanding that in the second piece isn't 12 - 12, would be none other than,

x - 2 + 5 = 12 - x

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

Two line segments are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal.

If the slopes of two lines are equal, then they have the same steepness and will never intersect.

However, if the slopes are different, the lines will intersect at some point, and they will not be parallel.
