larry needs to change a lightbulb in the ceiling Larry liens a 16 foot ladder against a wall with its base 5 feet away from the wall which is closest to the distance of the height of the wall to the top of the ladder
A 3 feet
B 11 feet
C 15 feet
D 17 feet

Answers

Answer 1
Well the only thing that i see that is logical is B 11 feet but its kinda hard to understand the problem so im gunna say B
Answer 2

The solution is Option C.

The height of the wall to the top of the ladder is 15 feet

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ABC

Let the height of the wall be represented as h = AB

Now , Larry liens a 16 foot ladder against a wall

So , the hypotenuse of the triangle AC = 16 feet

And , the base is 5 feet away from the wall

So , the base of the triangle BC = 5 feet

The height of the wall h is given by the Pythagoras theorem ,

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

AC² = AB² + BC²

16² = AB² + 5²

On simplifying the equation , we get

Subtracting 5² on both sides of the equation , we get

AB² = 16² - 5²

AB² = 256 - 25

AB² = 231

Taking square root on both sides of the equation , we get

AB = 15.19

AB ≈ 15 feet

Therefore , the value of h is 15 feet

Hence , the height of the wall is 15 feet

In science class, the girl to boy ratio is 3 to 7.
If there are 50 students total in the class, how many are boys?

Answers

Answer:

There are 35 boys in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls to Boys ratio = 3:7

Total number of students in class = 50

Let total number of girls be '3x' and total number of boys be '7x'

Total number of girls + Total number of boys = Total number of students

3x + 7x = 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

[tex] \therefore [/tex]

Total number of girls = 3 × 5 = 15

Find the length of the second base of a trapezoid with one base measuring 18 feet, a height of 5.3 feet, and an area of 125.4 square feet.​

Answers

Answer:

29.32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a trapezoid = height/2 * (first base + second base)

125.4 = 5.3 / 2 * (18 + second base)

125.4 = 2.65 * (18 + second base)

We want to solve for the second base. To do this, we can start by isolating the (18+second base) by dividing each side by 2.65

47.32 = 18 + second base

subtract 18 from both sides to solve for the second base

29.32 = second base

(1)Pradnya had 5 dozen copies. She gave half of the copies to Anushka and 1/5 times of the copies to Prajwal. How many copies are remaining with her ?
(2) Shrikant bought a watch at Rs. 900. He gave equal number of notes of denomination Rs. 10, Rs. 20, Rs. 50 and Rs. 100. Find the number of notes of Rs. 20 that he gave to the shopkeeper.
(3) Mangalakaku purchased 6016 saplings of lemon. She planted 47 saplings in each row. How many rows will be formed of those saplings?​

Answers

Explanation:

(i)Total number of copies are at Pradnya = 5 dozen

We know that 1 dozen = 12

⇛5×12 = 60

Given copies to Anushka = half of 60

⇛60/2 = 30 copies

Given copies to Prajwala = 1/5 the copies

⇛ (1/5)×60

⇛60/5

⇛12 copies

Total number of given copies = 30+12 = 42

Remaining copies = 60-42 = 18

Answer: Remaining copies = 18

(ii)Let the number of Rs. 10 notes be X

So given that

all are equal in number

So, Number of Rs 20 notes = Number of Rs. 50 notes = Number of Rs. 100 = X

Total number of notes

= X+X+X+X = 4X

Value of Rs. 10 = 10X

Value of Rs. 20 = 20X

Value of Rs. 50 = 50X

Value of Rs. 100 = 100X

Total amount = Rs. 900

⇛10X +20X +50X+100X = 900

⇛180X = 900

⇛X = 900/180

⇛X = 5

Number of Rs. 10 notes = Number of Rs. 20 notes = Answer: number of Rs. 50 notes = Number of Rs. 100 = 5

(iii) Let the number of rows be X

Number of saplings per each row = 47

Total number of saplings of X rows = 47X

According to the given problem,

Total number of saplings purchased by Mangalakaku = 6016

⇛47X = 6016

⇛X = 6016/47

⇛X = 128

Answer: Total number of rows = 128

AB = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠ A and ∠ B  are equal then Δ ABC is isosceles with 2 congruent legs.

x - 7 = 7 ( add 7 to both sides )

x = 14

alex is running in a clockwise direction around a circular track with radius 60 yards. he runs for 20 minutes at a speed of 4 yards per second. find the shortest distance between their starting point and their ending point measured along the track

Answers

Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

Additional comment

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.

Easy question, Worth 80 points, PLEASE HELP!! What are the angles and the side measurements for this triangle?

Answers

Answer:

the angles are 89.2°, 34.5°, 56.3° and the sides are √26units, √8units, √18units respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between points (2,5) and (-1,2)

Using the formula, √(X2 - X1)² + (Y2 - Y1)²

= √(-1-2)²+(2-5)²

=√(-3)²+(-3)²

=√9+9

=√18 or 3√2

Distance between points (-1,2) and (4,3)

=√[4-(-1)]²+(3-2)²

= √5²+1²

=√25+1

=√26

Distance between points (2,5) and (4,3)

=√(4-2)²+(3-5)²

=√2²+(-2)²

=√4+4

=√8

Using Cosine rule/formula, C²= A²+B²-2abcosc

Let C be √18, A be √26 and B be √8

√18²=√26²+√8² - 2√26.√8cosc

18= 26+8 - 2√208cosc

18= 34 -2√208cosc

2√208cosc= 34-18

Cosc = 16/2√208

Cosc= 0.5546

c= Cos`¹(0.5547)

c= 56.3°

Using sine rule/formula

Sinc/C= Sina/A=Sinb/B

Sin56.3/√18= Sina/√26

Sina= (0.8320 × √26)/ √18

Sina= 0.9999

a= Sin`¹(0.9999)

a= 89.2

56.3+89.2+b= 180°( sum of angles in a triangle)

145.5 + b =180

b=180-145.5

b= 34.5

Hanna has 88cm of ribbon and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6. How much longer is the longest piece and the shortest piece?​

Answers

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 5 + 6 = 11 parts

Divide the length of ribbon by 11 to find the value of one part of the ratio

88 cm ÷ 11 = 8 cm ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

5 parts = 5 × 8 cm = 40 cm

6 parts = 6 × 8 cm = 48 cm

Then difference between lengths is 48 cm - 40 cm = 8 cm

longer piece is 8 cm longer than shortest piece.
