A 4-meter ladder is placed against a wall so
that it reaches a height of 3.7m. To the nearest
tenth of a meter, how far away from the base
of the wall are the feet of the ladder?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is 4 meters.

It reaches the height of 3.7 meters on a wall.

This creates a right angled triangle of hypotenuse (4 meters) and height (3.7 meters).

We are to find the base length.

Applying the Pythagorean theorem;

a² + b² = c² , where a is the base length, b is the height length and c is the hypotenuse length.

∴ a² = c² - b² = 4² - 3.7² = 2.31

a (base length) = [tex]\sqrt{2.31}[/tex] = 1.519868415 meters

To round off the answer to the nearest tenth of a meter;

Tenth of a meter = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] × 1 meter = 0.1 meters

So we're rounding off the answer to one decimal place.

I.e 1.519868415 meters = 1.5 meters (rounded off to the nearest tenth of a meter.

The scientific notation of (6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³) on simplifying is 7 × 10⁻³.

What is scientific notation?

Numbers that are either too large or too little to be conveniently stated in decimal form can be expressed using scientific notation. It is also known as the standard form in the UK and scientific form, standard index form, and standard form.

Given:

The expression is (6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³),

The values in the negative power in the numerator go to the denominator and vice versa,

(6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³) = (6.3 × 10³) / (9 × 10⁵)

Divide the 6.3 by 9 as shown below,

(6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³) = 0.7 / 10²

(6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³) = 0.7 × 10⁻²

(6.3 × 10⁻⁵) / (9 × 10⁻³) = 7 × 10⁻³

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line 5x + 2y = 12?

Answers

Answer:

         y = ²/₅ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing to slope-intercept form:

5x + 2y = 12         {subtract 5x from both sides}

2y = -5x + 12         {divide both sides by 2}

y = -⁵/₂ x + 6

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y =-⁵/₂ x + 1    ⇒     m₁ =  -⁵/₂

-⁵/₂× m₂ = -1      ⇒   m₂ = ²/₅

So, any line perpendicular to 5x + 2y = 12 must have slope m =²/₅

x = 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

z= 14[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and the triangle below is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Using the fact that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and also an isosceles triangle, we can see that x will be the same as its respective leg, 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now, we must find a side length of the bottom triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side of the top triangle, which is also a side of the bottom triangle. We can find that the third side must be 28. We can now use this to find the other sides of the bottom triangle.

Since y is opposite to the 30 degree angle, it is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse which we found earlier is 28, therefore, y is 14. z is then 14[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] using either Pythagorean Theorem or special right triangle properties for 30-60-90.

Answers

Given:

Vertices of a triangle ABC are A(-3,0), B(3,0) and C(0,4).

To find:

The intersection point of all the medians of the triangle ABC.

Solution:

We know that, intersection point of all the medians of a triangle is called centroid.

The formula of centroid is

[tex]Centroid=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\dfrac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3}\right)[/tex]

Vertices of a triangle ABC are A(-3,0), B(3,0) and C(0,4).

[tex]Centroid=\left(\dfrac{-3+3+0}{3},\dfrac{0+0+4}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]Centroid=\left(\dfrac{0}{3},\dfrac{4}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]Centroid=\left(0,1.333...\right)[/tex]

Round each coordinate to the nearest tenth.

[tex]Centroid=\left(0,1.3\right)[/tex]

The coordinates of required point are (0,1.3). Therefore, the correct option is C.

exact value of tan 5pi/12

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=2+\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent Half Angle

Given an angle θ, then:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan {\frac {\theta }{2}}=\frac {\sin \theta }{1+\cos \theta}[/tex]

We are required to find:

[tex]\tan\frac{5\pi}{12}[/tex]

But it cannot be found in tables of main angles. We can use the angle

[tex]\theta = \frac{5\pi}{6}[/tex]

And use the formula above to find the required operation. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\tan\frac{\frac{5\pi}{6}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac {\sin \frac{5\pi}{6} }{1+\cos \frac{5\pi}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac {\frac{1}{2} }{1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac {\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Rationalizing:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2^2-\sqrt{3}^2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4-3}[/tex]

Finally:

Karen recorded the numbers of people getting off her tram.
The mean number for 10 stops is 6.3.
After the tram stops at the 11th stop, the mean is 8.6.
How many people got off the tram at the 11th stop?

Answers

Answer:

32 people got off

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 10th stop, we can get the total number of people that have gotten off

Mathematically, this is the product of the mean and the number of stops

= 10 * 6.3 = 63 people

Now, for the 11th stop, the total becomes

11 * 8.6 = 94.6

Hence;

(94.6-63) = 31.6

since there are no fractional humans, the number of people getting off is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(2), substitute x = 2 into f(x), that is

To evaluate f(4), substitute x = 4 into f(x)

f(4) = - 3(4) + 15 = - 12 + 15 = 3

7. By selling a bicycle for * 2,850, a shopkeeper gains 14%. If the profit is reduced to 8%, then the selling price
will be
(a) 2,600
(b) 2,700
(c) 2,800
(d) 3,000
with steps

Answers

Correct option :[tex]= \color{plum}\bold{(b) \: 2,700}[/tex]Steps to derive answer :

Selling price of a bicycle = 2850

Profit percentage = 14%

We know that :

[tex]\color{plum}\tt{Cost \: \: price = \frac{Selling \: \: price \: \times \: 100}{100 \: \: + \: \: profit \: \%} }[/tex]

Then, the cost price of this bicycle :

[tex] = \tt \frac{2850 \times 100}{100 + 14} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt \frac{285000}{114} [/tex]

[tex] =\color{plum} \tt2500[/tex]

Thus, the cost price of this bicycle = 2500

In another scenario :

Profit percentage = 8%

Cost price of the bicycle = 2500

Then, Selling price will be equal to :

Let x be the selling price of the bicycle.

[tex] = \tt2500 = \frac{\: x \: \times 100}{100 + 8} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt2500 = \frac{100x}{108} [/tex]

[tex] =\tt 100x = 2500 \times 108[/tex]

[tex] = \tt100x = 270000[/tex]

[tex] =\tt x = \frac{270000}{100} [/tex]

[tex] =\color{plum}\tt x = 2700[/tex]

Therefore, the selling price with a profit of 8% will be = 2700
