There is a leak in the attic due to rain.Jared is planning to use buckets to catch the dripping water.The number of buckets (y) filled during (x) hours can be represented by the equation y = 0.4x. How long will it take to fill 2 buckets(hours)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is giving you the equation

y =  0.4x; where y is the # of buckets filled and x is the hours.

If they you 2 filled buckets, then how many hours?  

You need to solve for x

y = 0.4x; to get the x by itself, divide by 0.4

x = [tex]\frac{y}{0.4}[/tex] ; now substitute y with 2 ( for 2 filled buckets)

x = [tex]\frac{2}{0.4}[/tex] = 5; which means it took 5 hours to fill up 2 buckets.

A man wants to cut down a tree in his yard. To ensure that the tree doesn’t hit anything he needs to know the height of the tree. He measures his distance from the tree at 18 meters and the angle of elevation to the tree at 80 degrees. What is the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a meter?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 102.1 \ meters}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the tree forms a right angle with the ground.

The distance from the tree to the man is 18 meters. The angle of elevation, which is 80 degrees, is the angle from where the man is to the top of the tree. We want to find the height of the tree, which we can call x.

Let's draw a diagram. (not to scale)

We can use sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse) or tangent (opposite/adjacent). We base the sides off of the elevation angle.

x is opposite the elevation angle and 18 is adjacent to the angle. So, we must use tangent.

[tex]tan(\theta)=opposite/adjacent[/tex]

The angle (θ) is 80. The opposite is x. The adjacent is 18.

[tex]tan(80)=x/18[/tex]

Now, solve for x by isolating it.

x is being divided by 18. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 18.

[tex]18*tan(80)=x/18*18[/tex]

[tex]18*tan(80)=x[/tex]

[tex]18*5.67128182=x[/tex]

[tex]102.0830728=x[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 8 in the hundredth place tells us to round up.

[tex]102.1\approx x[/tex]

The height of the tree is about 102.1 meters.

Separate 185 into two parts so that one part is 31 more than the other part. Find each part.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  108, 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the larger part. Then ...

  x + (x -31) = 185

  2x = 216

  x = 108

  x -31 = 77

The two parts are 108 and 77.

Last year, Lashonda opened an investment account with $7200 . At the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 24.5% .How much is this decrease in dollars? How much money was in her account at the end of last year?

Answers

Answer:

1. $17642. $5436

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Initial account balance=  $7200

we are told that the decrease was by 24.5%

Step two:

1. How much is this decrease in dollars?

let us solve for 24.5% of   $7200

=24.5/100*7200

=0.245*7200

=1764

the decrease is $1764

2. How much money was in her account at the end of last year?

the final account balance is

=7200-1764

=$5436

subtract 103 degrees from 180 to get 77, then add 77 and 37 together and subtract by 180
First you have to subtract 180 to 103 and you get 77 because a straight line always add up to 180, then you have to add that 77 to the 37 that is inside of the triangle and you get 114 and then you subtract 180 to 114 and you get 66 because the sum of the angles inside of the triangle is 180 degrees
The final answer is x= 66

Find the total surface area of the
following square pyramid:

SA = [?]cm2

Answers

Answer:

280 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)find the area of square

A=LW

=10×10

=100

2) find the area of triangle

A=B×H÷2

=10×9/2

=45

Coz,there are 4 triangle we multiple by 4

=45×4

=180

3)find the total surface area by adding the two

=100+180

=280cm2

Answer:

SA = [280] cm 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For Lateral Area the formula is 4(1/2 10 x 9)

But the 1/2 makes it 4(1/2 5 x 9)

Then you multiply 5 x 9 = 45 then multiply 45 by the 4 and get 180

Then for Surface Area you put in (180 + 100) = 280

You get the 100 by multiplying 2 of the base numbers together.
