Find The Surface Area Of The Pyramid Shown To The Nearest Whole Number.6 Ft5 Ft5 FtNot Drawn To Scalea.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a pyramid =

area of base + area of triangular faces

Since it's a square based pyramid

It's surface area is

area of base + 4( area of one triangular face)

Since the square has equal sides

For square base

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length

From the question l = 5

So we have

Area of square base = 5² = 25ft²

For one of the triangular face

Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height

base = 5

height = 6

Area = ½ × 5 × 6 = 15ft²

So the surface area of the pyramid is

25 + 4(15)

= 25 + 60

We have the final answer as

Surface area = 85 ft²

Hope this helps you

if [tex]\frac{10}{x} +\frac{2}{x} =12[/tex], what is x?

Answers

Hi

I guess that the most obvious answer is

x = 1

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

10/x + 2/x = 12

x(10/x + 2/x) = 12*x

10x/x + 2x/x = 12x

10 + 2 = 12x

12 = 12x

x = 12/12

x = 1

Verify:

10/1 + 2/1 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

A musical instrument company reduced the time it takes for a worker to build a guitar. Before the reduction it took 5 hours. Now in 7 hours they can build 3 guitars. By how much did they reduce the time it takes to build each guitar?

Answers

Answer:

2 2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Before it was 5 hours for 1 guitar, or 5 hours/guitar

Now it is 7 guitars in 3 hours or 7/3 hours/guitar

7/3 = 2 1/3

5 hours - 2 1/3 hours = 15/3 hours - 7/3 hours = 8/3 hours = 2 2/3 hours

The reduced the time it takes to build 1 guitar by 2 2/3 hours.

Find the equation of the sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (-8, -3, -10) and (-6, 1, -4) which has been normalized so that the coefficient of x2 is 1.

Answers

Answer:

The  equation is  [tex]x^2 + y^2 +z^2 + 14 x + 3y \ + 14z + 86.25=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The  diameter endpoints is   (-8, -3, -10) and (-6, 1, -4)

Generally the equation of a sphere with center coordinates (a, b , c ) and  radius  r   is mathematically represented as

           [tex](x - a )^2 + (y -b )^2 + (z -c)^2 = r^2[/tex]

Now since we are given the endpoints of the diameter then we can obtain the center coordinates as follows

         [tex](a, b , c) = [ \frac{ -8 +(-6)}{2} , \frac{-3 + (1)}{ 2} , \frac{ -10 + (-4)}{2} ][/tex]

         [tex](a, b , c) = [ -7 , -1.5 , -7 ][/tex]

Now the length of the diameter is evaluated as

    [tex]|d| = \sqrt{ (-8 - (-6 ))^2 + ( -3 - (1) )^2 + ( -10 - (-4))^2 }[/tex]

   [tex]|d| = \sqrt{56 }[/tex]

   [tex]|d| = \sqrt{4 * 14 }[/tex]

   [tex]|d| = 2 \sqrt{ 14 }[/tex]

Now the radius is mathematically represented as

    [tex]r = \frac{|d|}{2}[/tex]

    [tex]r = \frac{ 2 \sqrt{14} }{2}[/tex]

    [tex]r = \sqrt{14}[/tex]

So

   [tex](x - -7 )^2 + (y --1.5 )^2 + (z --7)^2 = ( \sqrt{14} )^2[/tex]

   [tex](x +7 )^2 + (y +1.5 )^2 + (z +7)^2 = 14[/tex]

    [tex]x^2 + 14 x + 49 + y^2 + 3y + 2.25 +z^2 14z + 49 = 14[/tex]

    [tex]x^2 + y^2 +z^2 + 14 x + 3y \ + 14z + 86.25=0[/tex]

A weather forecasting website indicated that there was a 60​% chance of rain in a certain region. Based on that​ report, which of the following is the most reasonable​ interpretation? Choose the correct answer below.
A. 60​% of the region will get rain today.
B. In the​ region, it will rain for 60​% of the day.
C. There is a 0.60 probability that it will rain somewhere in the region at some point during the day.
D. None of the above interpretations are reasonable.

Answers

Answer:

C. There is a 0.60 probability that it will rain somewhere in the region at some point during the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that it will rain is given by =p= 60% = 0.6

60​% chance of rain in a certain region means that the probability of rain in the given region is 0.6 at any time of the day in any part of the region.

So Choice C is the best option.

Choice A is wrong because 60% of the region does not mean 60% of the rain.

Choice B is also wrong because 60​% of the day  does not mean 60% of the rain.

The weather report tells about the rain , not the region or part of the day. So choice C is the best option

the brazilian free-tailed bat can travel 99 miles per hour. after sunset, a colony of bats emerges from a cave and spreads out in a circular pattern. how long before these bats cover an area of 80,000 square miles? use pi = 3.14.

0.9 hours
1.6 hours
2.6 hours
5.1 hours

Answers

Answer:

The colony of bats will take 1.612 hours to cover an area of 80,000 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the colony of bats emerges from a cave and spreads out in a circular pattern, the area covered ([tex]A[/tex]) by the colony, measured in square miles, is represented by the following geometrical formula:

[tex]A = \pi\cdot r^{2}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]r[/tex] - Distance of the bat regarding the cave, measured in miles.

In addition, each bat moves at constant speed and distance is represented by this kinematic formula:

[tex]r = r_{o}+\dot r \cdot \Delta t[/tex]

Where:

[tex]r_{o}[/tex] - Initial distance of the bat regarding the cave, measured in miles.

[tex]\dot r[/tex] - Speed of the bat, measured in miles per hour.

[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time, measured in hours.

The distance of the bat regarding the cave is now substituted and time is therefore cleared:

[tex]A = \pi \cdot (r_{o}+\dot r \cdot \Delta t)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi} }-r_{o} = \dot r \cdot \Delta t[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t = \frac{1}{\dot r} \cdot \left(\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi} }-r_{o} \right)[/tex]

Given that [tex]\dot r = 99\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]A = 80,000\,mi^{2}[/tex], [tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex] and [tex]r_{o} = 0\,mi[/tex], the time spent by the colony of bats is:

[tex]\Delta t = \left(\frac{1}{99\,\frac{mi}{h} } \right)\cdot \left(\sqrt{\frac{80,000\,mi^{2}}{3.14} }-0\,mi \right)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t \approx 1.612\,hours[/tex]

The colony of bats will take 1.612 hours to cover an area of 80,000 square miles.

Shota is a dangerous fellow who likes to go rock climbing in active volcanoes. One time, when he was 303030 meters below the edge of a volcano, he heard some rumbling, so he decided to climb up out of there as quickly as he could. He climbed up at a constant rate. After 4.54.54, point, 5 seconds, he was 7.57.57, point, 5 meters below the edge of the volcano How fast did Shota climb? In total, how long did it take Shota to reach the edge of the volcano?

Answers

Answer:

Speed = 5m/s

Total time taken = 6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Shota's initial position = 30 metres below the edge of a volcano

If Shota climbed at a constant rate:

Shota's position after 4.5 seconds = 7.5meters below the edge of the volcano

Shota's climbing speed :

Distance covered / time taken

Distance covered = (30 - 7.5) = 22.5 meters

Hence, speed = (22.5 / 4.5) = 5m/s

Time taken to reach edge of volcano:

Time left to reach edge = (distance left to cover / speed)

Time left to reach edge = (7.5 / 5) = 1.5 seconds

Total time taken: (4.5 + 1.5) = 6 seconds

Determine whether the following lines represented by the vector equations below intersect, are parallel, are skew, or are identical.

Answers

Answer:

r(t) and s(t) are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the  lines represented by the vector equations are:

r(t)=⟨1−t,3+2t,−3t⟩

s(t)=⟨2t,−3−4t,3+6t⟩

The objective is to determine if the following lines represented by the vector equations below intersect, are parallel, are skew, or are identical.

NOTE:

Two lines will be parallel if [tex]\dfrac{x_1}{x_2}= \dfrac{y_1}{y_2}= \dfrac{z_1}{z_2}[/tex]

here;

[tex]d_1 = (-1, \ 2, \ -3)[/tex]

Thus;

[tex]r(t) = \dfrac{x-1}{-1} = \dfrac{y-3}{2}=\dfrac{z-0}{-3} = t[/tex]

[tex]d_2 =(2, \ -4, \ +6)[/tex]

[tex]s(t) = \dfrac{x-0}{2} = \dfrac{y+5}{-4}=\dfrac{z-3}{6} = t[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d_1}{d_2}= \dfrac{-1}{2} = \dfrac{2}{-4}= \dfrac{-3}{-6}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that r(t) and s(t) are parallel.

A test of a hybrid car resulted in 4,840 miles driven using
88 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas will this vehicle
need to travel 1,155 miles?

Answers

Answer:

Hey there!

We can write the proportion:

[tex]88/4840 = x/1155[/tex]

101640=4840x

x=21

The car would need 21 gallons of gas to travel 1155 miles.

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer:

21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

4,840 miles = 88 gallons

=> 1155 miles = x gallons

=> Cross-multiply

=> 4840 * x = 1155 * 88

=> 4840x = 101640

=> 4840x/4840 = 101640/4840

=> x = 21

The car can travel 1,155 miles using 21 gallons.

Ms. Ironperson and Mr. Thoro are making Avenger posters to give children when they visit Avenger Academy. Ms. Ironperson has completed 12 posters and will complete 6 more per day. Mr. Thoro has not started yet but can make 12 per day. At some point Mr. Thoro will catch up and both will have finished the same number of posters. When this does happen, how many posters will each Avenger have completed? If x denotes the number of days and y denotes the number of posters, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

Answers

Answer:

The equations needed to solve this problem are:

y = 12 + 6x

y = 12x

The number of posters completed by each Avenger will be 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided are:

Ms. Ironperson has completed 12 posters and will complete 6 more per day.Mr. Thoro has not started yet but can make 12 per day. The variable x denotes the number of days and y denotes the number of posters.

So, after x day the number of poster completed by Ms. Ironperson will be:

y = 12 + 6x

And after x day the number of poster completed by Mr. Thoro will be:

y = 12x

Thus, the equations needed to solve this problem are:

y = 12 + 6x

y = 12x

Compute the value of x as follows:

12x = 12 + 6x

6x = 12

x = 2

The number of posters completed by each Avenger is:

y = 12x = 12 × 2 = 24

Thus, the number of posters completed by each Avenger will be 24.

First, we express [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex](\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3})[/tex] ≈ 5.333333333 as a single fraction.

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 8\sqrt{2} } }{\frac{3}{3} } - 1[/tex]  ≈ 0.777777778

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now we express [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 8\sqrt{2} } }{\frac{3}{3} }[/tex] ≈ 1.777777778 as a single fraction.

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2 \times 8\sqrt{2} } }{3 \times 3} - 1[/tex]  ≈ 0.777777778

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Multiply [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ≈ 1.414213562 and [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ≈ 1.414213562 to get 2.

[tex]\frac{2 \times 8}{3 \times 3} - 1[/tex] ≈ 0.777777778

We are given that 5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number. We are asked to determine the number.

To determine the number, we will let the unknown number be x.

We will now try to make the two equal expressions, equate them to get a linear equation in one variable, and then solve the equation to find x.

First expression: 5 less than the number, that is, x - 5

Second expression: 1 more than three times the number, that is, 3x + 1.

Both the expressions are equal, so we equate them to get our equation:

x - 5 = 3x + 1

To solve for x, we do the following steps.

1. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

x - 5 - 3x = 3x + 1 - 3x

or, -2x -5 = 1 (Simplifying)

2. Add 5 to both sides of the equation:

-2x - 5 + 5 = 1 + 5

or, -2x = 6 (Simplifying)

3. Divide both sides of the equation by (-2):

-2x/(-2) = 6/(-2)

or, x = -3 (Simplifying).

∴ The equation formed by the information, 5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number is x - 5 = 3x + 1. And the number is x = -3.
