Andrew needs a ladder to hang holiday lights. His house is 24 feet tall and he has a flower bed that extends 4 feet out from the side of the house. How long of a ladder will he need to reach the top and be out of the flower bed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower bed, the ladder and the house form a right angled triangle where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side.

Let L = length of ladder, H = height of house = 24 feet and l = length of flower bed = 4 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

L² = H² + l²

So, L = √(H² + l²)

substituting the values of the variables, we have

L = √[(24 ft)² + (4 ft)²]

L = √[576 ft² + 16 ft²]

L = √[592 ft²]

L = 24.33 ft

The ladder must be at least 24.33 feet long to reach the top and be out of the flower bed

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

3x - 5y = 13

x + 4y = 10

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

x + 4y = 10

Subtract 4y on both sides:                    x = 10 - 4y

Step 3: Redefine Systems

3x - 5y = 13

x = 10 - 4y

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

Substitute in x:                    3(10 - 4y) - 5y = 13Distribute 3:                         30 - 12y - 5y = 13Combine like terms:           30 - 17y = 13Isolate y terms:                   -17y = -17Isolate y:                              y = 1

Step 5: Solve for x

Define equation:                    x + 4y = 10Substitute in y:                       x + 4(1) = 10Multiply:                                  x + 4 = 10Isolate x:                                 x = 6

Answer:

(6,1)    x=6 and y=1        

Step-by-step explanation:

EASY we can use Elimination or Substitution process

We are going to solve by

Elimination process

Subtract each other

(3x-5y=13)

(x+4y=10)

3x-5y=13;x+4y=10

To solve this multiply (x-4y=10) by 3 to get rid of the x

3x-12y=30

now u can subtract both

3x-12y=30 minus

3x-5y=13

17y=17

Divide both sides by 17

y=1

Now we have y lets plug it in to find x

x+4(1)=10

x+4=10

subtract 4 from both sides

x=6

x=6 and y=1

please find the value of x :)

Sam and liam raced each other up and down the hill. Sam's avrage speed up hill was 1 mph, and his avrage speed down hill is 9 mph. Liam ran up and down the hill with the same speed 2 mph.If the path from the bottom of the hill is 1 mile long, how much time did it take the boys to finish-and who is the winner?

Answers

Answer:

a. i. 1.11 h ii. 1 h. b. Liam

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

i. Sam's time

We know distance d = vt where v = speed and t = time.

Since our distance here is the length of the path, d = 1 mile.

For Sam, his speed up the hill is v = 1 mph, so, the time it takes him to go uphill is t = d/v = 1 mi/1 mph = 1 h.

He goes down hill at a speed of v = 9 mph, so the time it takes him to go down hill is t = d/v = 1 mi/9 mph = 1/9 h = 0.11 h

So, the total time it takes him to complete the trip is t = 1 h + 0.11 h = 1.11 h

ii. Liam's time

For Liam, his speed both uphill and downhill is v = 2 mph, so, the time it takes to cover each trip is t = d/v = 1 mi/2 mph = 0.5 h.

So for both uphill and downhill trip, the total time is t' = 2 × 0.5 h = 1 h

b. Since Liam's time t' = 1 h < Sam's time t = 1.11 h, that is t' = 1h < t = 1.11 h, Liam is the winner.

In △ABC, AB = 13.2m, BC = 6.9m and ∠ACB = 90°. H lies on AC such that ∠BHC = 46°. Find (i) ∠ABH (ii) The length of AH

Answers

Answer:

(i) ∠ABH = 14.46⁰

(ii) The length of AH = 4.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image uploaded;

Consider △ABC;

the length of b is calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem as follows;

b² = c² - a²

b² = (13.2)² - (6.9)²

b² = 126.63

b = √126.63

b = 11.25 m

Also, ∠ABC is calculated as;

[tex]Cos \ B = \frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} \\\\Cos \ B = \frac{(6.9)^2+(13.2)^2-(11.25)^2}{2(6.9 \times13.2)}\\\\ Cos \ B = \frac{95.288}{182.16} \\\\ Cos \ B = 0.5219 \\\\B = Cos ^{-1} (0.5231)\\\\B = 58.46 ^o[/tex]

Consider △CBH, ∠CBH is calculated as;

∠CBH = 90⁰ - 46⁰ = 44⁰

(i) ∠ABH will be calculated as;

∠ABH = θ

θ + 44⁰ = ∠ABC

θ + 44⁰ = 58.46⁰

θ = 58.46⁰  - 44⁰

θ = 14.46⁰

Thus, ∠ABH = 14.46⁰

(ii) The length of AH

length HC is calculated as;

[tex]tan \ 46^o =\frac{6.9}{HC} \\\\HC = \frac{6.9}{tan \ 46^o } \\\\HC = 6.66 \ m[/tex]

length of AH = CA - HC

x = b - HC

x = 11.25 - 6.66

x = 4.6 m

length of AH = 4.6 m

a giraffe is 16 feet tall and casts a shadow of 24 feet. if Dustin casts a shadow of 9 3/5 feet how tall is he?

Answers

Answer:

12.4 feet

 Proportion of giraffe's height vs the height of its shadow = 16/24 = 2/3

If Dustin's height is x feet tall, then the proportion of his height and the height of his shadow (93/5 feet)should be the same as that of the giraffe, which is 2/3

 

so,

x/93/5 = 2/3

Multiplying both sides with 93/5

 

x = 2/3 * 93/5

x = 62/5 =12.4

The correct unit price is $1.12 per pair. The error comes from dividing $67.20 by only 5 pairs (instead of 60 pairs).

Step-by-step explanation:

The contractor should have calculated the unit price as $67.20 divided by 60 pairs. Five dozen pairs is 5x12=60. This results in $67.20/60=$1.12 per pair. The error comes from dividing $67.20 by only 5 pairs (instead of 60 pairs).
