A 13 foot ladder is placed
5 feet away from a wall
How many feet up the wall
will the ladder reach?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 12 feet up

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem models a right triangle, in which the ladder is the hypotenuse and the distance away from the wall is one of the legs.  Thus, you may use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\5^2+b^2=13^2\\25+b^2=169\\b^2=144\\b=12[/tex]

N.B. There are some very useful sets of numbers that can help you with this unit.

They are called Pythagorean triplets, and they are the sets of whole numbers that make right triangles.  The important ones are 3, 4, 5, and 5, 12, 13 (And their multiples, like 6, 8, 10(3,4,5 *2))

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate further.

Zack bought 2 1/2 pounds of green grapes and 1/5 of a pound of red grapes. How much
more did the green grapes weigh than the red grapes?

Answers

Answer:23/10 pounds heavier

Step-by-step explanation:

first we transform the mixed fraction to a normal fraction

2 1/2 = 5/2

Now transform

5/2 = 25/10

1/5 = 2/10

25/10 - 2/10 = 23/10

So the green grapes weigh 23/10 pounds more than the red grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

random sample has been taken from a normal population and two confidence intervals constructed using exactly the same data. The two CIs are (38.02, 61.98) and (39.95, 60.05). (a) What is the value of the sample mean

Answers

The sample mean of the random sample is 50

The margin of error (E) is the amount of error allowed in the random sample.

The confidence interval (CI) is given by:

CI = μ ± E = (μ - E, μ + E)

Given a confidence interval of (38.02, 61.98), hence:

μ - E = 38.02     (1)

μ + E = 61.98     (2)

Hence solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

μ = 50, E = 11.98

Hence the sample mean of the random sample is 50

Find the missing value using the given information

(4,p), (p,-3), m=5/3

Answers

Answer:

p = 11/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the slope, so use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  5/3  = ( -3 -p)/ ( p-4)

Using cross products

5(p-4) = 3(-3-p)

5p-20 = -9-3p

Add 3p to each side

5p+3p -20 = -9-3p+3p

8p-20 = -9

Add 20 to each side

8p-20+20 =-9+20

8p =11

Divide by 8

8p/8 = 11/8

p = 11/8

Casey is in Florida when a Zombie Apocalypse suddenly breaks out in his area. He needs to help his family and friends cross a sinkhole to escape the marauding herd. Help Casey calculate the amount of rope he will need to zipline his family and friends to safety … don’t mess this up!

(a) Choose a point on the graph (using whole numbers) and use this point to form a triangle, making the red line one side of this triangle. Calculate the three midsegments of the triangle you created, these will stabilize the zipline. Show all of your calculations below and draw in your work in the image above.

(B) Calculate the perimeter of the triangle and the lengths of each midsegment. Add these together so that Casey knows just how much rope he will need to create this lifeline to safety. Show all of your work below. Only round off at the end of the problem. Round to the nearest hundredth digit.

Pleaseeee help 50 points I don't know how to make you brainliest but include that with the answer and I will make you brainliest plzz

Answers

Attaching ropes to the midsegment of the triangle formed ensures that the

zipline can more safely cross the family and friends to safety.

The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is approximately 46.56

Reasons:

The coordinates of the endpoints of the redline = A(4, 3), and B(-8, -2)

The point selected, P = (4, -3)

[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AB, \ D = \left(\frac{4 + (-8)}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-2)}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \, 0.5\right)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AP, \ E = \left(\frac{4 +4}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-3}{2} \right) = \left(4, \ 0 \right)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of\, BP, \ F = \left(\frac{-8 +4}{2}, \ \frac{-2+ (-3}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \ -2.5\right)[/tex]

The lengths of the midsegments are found as follows

Length of DE = √((4 - (-2))² + (0 - (0.5))²) = 0.5·√(145)

Length of DF = √(((-2) - (-2))² + ((-2.5) - (0.5))²) = 3

Length of EF = √(((-2) - 4)² + ((-2.5) -0)²) = 6.5

(b) The length of side AB = √((4 - (-8))² + (3 - (-2))²) = 13

The length of side BP = √((4 - (-8))² + (-3 - (-2))²) = √(145)

The length of side AP = √((4 - 4)² + (-3 - 3)²) = 6

The perimeter of the triangle ΔABP = 13 + 6 + √(145) = 19 + √(145)

The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is therefore;

19 + √(145) + 0.5·√(145) + 3 + 6.5 = 28.5 + 1.5·√(145) ≈ 46.56

The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety = 46.56

What is the order of this matrix?

Answers

The order of the matrix is 5x3
Answer: Choice C) 5 x 3

============================================================

Explanation:

The order of a matrix is a way of describing its size. Specifically, the order is represented in the form [tex]m \times n[/tex], where,

m = number of rowsn = number of columns

The rows are laid out horizontally, and the columns are vertical.

In this case, we have 5 rows and 3 columns. Therefore, the answer is 5 x 3. The order is important because a 5 x 3 matrix is different from a 3 x 5 matrix.

[tex]W = 23.7°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given is the statement of Snell's law of refraction. We are given the following:

[tex]I_a = 1.0003[/tex]

[tex]I_w = 1.3[/tex]

[tex]A = 31.5°[/tex]

So we need to find the angle of refraction W. Starting with Snell's law,

[tex]\dfrac{I_w}{I_a} = \dfrac{\sin A}{\sin W} \Rightarrow \sin W = \left(\dfrac{I_a}{I_w}\right)\sin A[/tex]

Plugging in the given values, we get

[tex]\sin W = \left(\dfrac{1.0003}{1.3}\right)\sin{31.5°} = 0.402[/tex]

Solving for the angle W, we then get

[tex]W = \sin^{-1}(0.402) = 23.7°[/tex]

Using the equation for the line of best fit of the scatterplot, the predicted arm span is: 63 inches.

What is the Line of Best Fit?

The line of best fit for a scatter plot is modelled as y = mx = 2, where m is the slope and b is the initial value.

Given the equation of the line of best fit as, y = x + 2, to find the predicted arm span, y, for a girl who is 61 in. tall (x), substitute x = 61 into y = x = 2.

y = 61 + 2

y = 63
