Jason was given a triangle that had a side length of 10m and a hypotenuse of

15m. When he substituted these values into the Pythagorean Theorem, he got 102 + 152 = c2

.

Part A. Find Jason’s mistake and explain it.


Part B. Solve for the missing length, show your mathematical thinking, and justify your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The pythagorean theorem is:

H = [tex]\sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2}[/tex]

With H being the hypotenuse, s1 one side, s2 the other one. He already has a side and the hypotenuse so he has to calculate the inverse formula:

s2 = [tex]\sqrt{H^2 - s_1^2}[/tex]

So the real side will be:

square root of (15^2 - 10^2) = square root of (225 - 100) = 125 m

Jason made a mistake calculating the squares of the hypotenuse and the side, he didn't subtract and didn't take the root of the result.

Answers

Answer:

  20.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the exponential function ...

  p = 16000·(1 +0.022)^t

When p = 25000, we can find the value of t by taking logarithms.

  log(25000/16000) = t·log(1.022) . . . . . divide by 16000, take the log

  t = log(25/16)/log(1.022) ≈ 20.5 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

It will take about 20.5 years for the population to reach 25000.

The students in Gwen's class got to choose between pizza and burgers for the celebration on
the last day of school. 28 students picked the pizza. If there are 35 students in all in Gwen's class, what percentage of the students picked the pizza?
Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answers

Answer:

80% of the class picked the pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a percentage, you are supposed to divide the amount of how much someone has picked by the total amount (in this case pizza's). Here is how I got 80%,

28/35 = 0.8

0.8*100 = 80

So the answer is 80%

1. Nathan bought a bicycle for $230 at an auction. He fixed it up and sold it at a 30% markup. How much did
Nathan sell the bike for?

Answers

If you are marking off a price that means you are ADDING to your final price because Nathan needs a profit for his bike. So to find the final price let’s add 30% of the original price to the final price by multiplying 230 by 0.30 which equals to 69 so then we add 69 to 230 which will be 299. So our final price is $299 dollars with the markup.

Nathan bought a bicycle for $230 at an auction. Nathan sells the bike for $299 at a 30% markup.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a minimum number or ratio that is measured by a fraction of 100.

Nathan bought a bicycle for $230 at an auction. He fixed it up and sold it at a 30% markup.

So, the markup price, we get

30% of $230

= 30/100 x 230

= 3 x 23

= 69

Total selling price = 230 + 69

                             = 299

Thus, Nathan sells the bike for $299.

Shawna wanted to boat across the river, but did not know how wide it was. She walked along the shore for 90 feet and sighted across the water to the point she wanted to go. The angle that the sight line made with the shoreline was 65°. What was the distance across the river?​

Answers

The distance across the river, given the angle of the line of sight and the

distance along the shoreline is found using trigonometric ratios.

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet.

Reasons:

The distance along the the shore Shawna walked before sighting across the river = 90 feet

The angle made by the line of sight and the shoreline, θ = 65°

Required:

The distance across the river.

Solution:

Taking the initial location of Shawna to be the closest place to point she wanted to go across the river, we have;

The shortest distance across the river = A perpendicular line

Therefore, the following sides, form a right triangle;

The line of sight.The distance along the shoreline Shawna walked, andThe closest distance across the river.

Where:

The line of sight = The hypotenuse side

The distance she walked = The adjacent side to angle 65° angle

The closest distance across the river = The opposite side to the 65° angle

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite \, side \, to\ angle}{Adjacent\, side \, to\, angle} = \mathbf{\frac{Distance \ across \ the \ river}{Distance \ along \ the \ shoreline}}[/tex]

Which gives;

Opposite side to angle = tan(θ) × Adjacent side to angle

Therefore;

Distance across the river = tan(65°) × 90 feet ≈ 193.0 feet

The distance across the river is approximately 193 feet

Paula is standing on a bridge that is 110 above the water below. She throws a
pebble over the edge of the bridge, and it hits the top of a 24 foot high bridge
guard. The quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble is:
p(t) = –16t2 + 48t + 110
such that t is the time in seconds and p is the height of the pebble.

Answers

The time it will take the pebble to reach the maximum height is 1.5secs

Given the quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble expressed as p(t) = –16t^2 + 48t + 110

We can calculate the time taken by the pebble to reach the maximum height.

At maximum height, the velocity of the pebble is zero i.e. p'(t) = 0

p'(t) = -32t + 48

0 = -32t + 48

32t = 48

t = 48/32

t = 1.5secs

Hence the time it will take the pebble to reach the maximum height is 1.5secs

For triangle MNO, the statements that are true are m ∠ MNP < m ∠ ONP and MP< OP.

We are given a triangle MNO.

We are also given that:

m ∠ MNP = 38°

m ∠ ONP = 39°

This clearly means that:

m ∠ MNP < m ∠ ONP

Also, since m ∠ MNP < m ∠ ONP , the sides opposite to the angles will also follow the same relationship.

Side opposite to ∠ MNP is MP

and side opposite to ∠ ONP is OP

so, the relation will become:

MP < OP

Therefore, we get that, for triangle MNO, the statements that are true are m ∠ MNP < m ∠ ONP and MP< OP.

A triangle MNO is presented to us.

Additionally, we learn that

m ∠ MNP = 38°

m ∠ ONP = 39°

This demonstrates that:

m, MNP, m, and ONP

The sides that are opposite to the angles will also adhere to the same relationship because m MNP m ONP.

MP is the side that faces MNP.

and OP is the side opposite to ONP.

hence, the relationship will be:

The area of a rectangular pool is 5628 m^(2). If the width of the pool is 67m, what is its length?

Answers

Answer: 84 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find area, you multiply the width by the length ( A = L x W). Here, it is asking for the length, giving the area of the pool and the width. With this information, you can inverse operation ( division) to find the length of the pool. So:

5628 / 67 = 84

This tells us that the length of the pool is 87 meters. To check this answer, multiply 67 and 84. If it's equivalent to 5628, the given area, then 84 is indeed the length of the pool.

67 x 84 = 5628.

Thus, the length of the pool is 84 m.
