Suppose you are putting up a tent for a camping trip.
The 9 foot center pole makes a right angle with the ground. If a rope goes from the top of the pole to a point on the ground 12 feet away from the base of the pole. how long of a rope is needed?

Answers

Answer 1

The length of the rope needed is 15 feet

Given the following parameters;

Height of the pole = 9 footThe distance from the rope away from the base of the pole is 12 feet

Required

Length of the rope.

To get the length of the rope, you will use the pythagoras theorem expressed as:

c² = a² + b²

Substituting the given parameters:

c² = 9² + 12²

c² =81 + 144

c² = 225

c = √225

c = 15 feet

Therefore the length of the rope needed is 15 feet

Using ruler and compasses only, construct a parallelogram KLMN, so that KL = 8 cm, LM = 6 cm and angle KLM = 135°.​

Answers

The steps to construct a parallelogram using a ruler and a compass are;

1. Draw a starting line segment l linger than 8 cm.

2. Mark point K on the line segment.

3. Widen the compass to a radius of 8 cm using the ruler.

4. Place the compass at point K and with the 8 cm radius mark point L on the line l.

5. At point L construct a 45° angle as follows;

Draw arcs that intersect line l on both sides of point L.From each of the intersection points, draw arcs that intersect each other on on the upper area adjacent to line l.From the intersection point in the previous step, draw a line to point L to get a perpendicular line to line l.Draw arcs to intersect the perpendicular line and line l on the other side of point L from K.From the points the arc intersects the perpendicular line draw arcs of the same radius to intersect at a point X to the right of the perpendicular line.

The above steps bisects the 90° angle of the perpendicular lines.

Join point X to point L with a straight line to form ∠XLM = 135° (90° + 45° = 135°)

6. Adjust the radius of the compass to give an opening of 6 cm and from point L draw an arc to intersect XL at M.

7. At point M construct a line YM at 45° angle to the line l.

8. From point M draw an arc to intersect YM and label the point as point N.

9. Join point M and N to complete the construction of the parallelogram KLMN.

Answers

The range of possible values for the variable is x < 12

From the given figure, we can see that the side facing angle 30 degrees, is greater than the side facing angle 3x -6. Therefore the inequality expression is true based on the figure.

30 > 3x - 6

Swap sides

3x - 6 < 30

Add 6 to both sides

3x - 6 + 6 < 30 + 6

3x < 36

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 < 36/3

x < 12

Hence the range of possible values for the variable is x < 12

Answers

The question is an illustration of system of equations

There are 14 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points

The system of equations is given as:

[tex]x + y = 29[/tex]

[tex]5x + 2y = 100[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]x + y = 29[/tex]

[tex]x = 29 - y[/tex]

Substitute 29 - y for x in [tex]5x + 2y = 100[/tex]

[tex]5(29 - y) + 2y = 100[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]145 - 5y + 2y = 100[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]145 - 3y = 100[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]- 3y = 100-145[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]- 3y = -45[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex]y = 15[/tex]

Substitute 15 for y in [tex]x = 29 - y[/tex]

[tex]x = 29 - 15[/tex]

[tex]x = 14[/tex]

This means that there are 14 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points

As a person pedals the bike, what forces oppose motion? As the person goes faster, what happens to the amount of air resistance?

Answers

Answer: Friction

The force that opposes the motion is friction and air resistance plays a part in the opposing force to the motion. The faster you go the more amount of air resistance makes contact into you. An example is a motorcycle rider and you turn over and see their hair and clothes moving really fast.

because if they are multiplied out it would be 4x+8 = 4x + 8 which means it is infinite because both sides are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

can you please help me find X in this problem it is so confusing

Answers

Answer:

  x = 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways to get there.

1.

The unmarked angle at bottom left is an alternate interior angle with the one at the top marked 50°. So, it is congruent to 50°.

That makes the angles along the line at the bottom be ...

  50° +x° +105° = 180° . . . . . the measure of a linear angle

  x° = 180° -155° = 25°

__

2.

The unmarked angle at top right is a same-side interior angle relative to the one at bottom marked 105°. As such it is supplementary to 105°, and has measure ...

  180° -105° = 75°

This angle (upper right) is an exterior angle to the triangle. As such, it is equal to the sum of the two "remote" interior angles of the triangle—the ones marked 50° and x°.

  75° = 50° +x°

  25° = x° . . . . . . . subtract 50°

__

3.

The unmarked interior angle of the triangle is an alternate interior angle with the one marked 105°. So, it is congruent to 105°. The sum of the triangle interior angles is 180°, so you have ...

  x° +50° +105° = 180°

  x = 180° -155° = 25° . . . . as we had with our first approach

M is the midpoint of the segment. Find the length of CG

Answers

If M is the midpoint then segment CM and segment MG are equal. So 6x - 15 = 4x + 1.

6x - 15 = 4x + 1
-4x +15 -4x +15
(Move all the x’s to one side the other numbers to the other)

2x = 16
2 2
(Divide both sides by 2)

x = 8

Now just plug in x to find the length of one segment and double it to find the length of CG

6(8) - 15 = 33

33 • 2 = 66

CG = 66
