The length of a slide on a swing set is 10 ft. The
distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide
is 2 ft more than the height of the ladder. Find the height of
the ladder.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let height of ladder be x

so if height of ladder is x then the distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide is x+2

Assuming this is a right angle triangle, the slide is the longest lenght (c)

so

x²+(x+2)²=10²

x²+x²+4x+4=100

2x²+4x+4=100

2x²+4x+4-100=0

2x²+4x-96=0

2(x²+2x-48)=0

x²+2x-48=0 -- Factor

(x+8)(x-6)=0

x=-8 and x=6

since height cannot be a negative number

height of ladder is 6 cm

Answer 2

The base length is 8 feet. Then the height of the triangle will be 6 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The length of a slide on a swing set is 10 ft.

The distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide is 2 ft more than the height of the ladder.

Let x be the length of the height of the triangle. Then the base of the triangle will be (x + 2).

10² = (x + 2)² + x²

100 = x² + 4x + 4 + x²

96 = 2x² + 4x

48 = x² + 2x

0 = x² + 2x - 48

0 = (x - 6)(x + 8)

x = 6, -8

Then the base length is 6 ft. Then the height of the triangle will be

B = x + 2

B = 6 + 2

B  = 8 ft

what is the example of a product that will have the same number of zeros in the factors and the products? what is one example of a product that will not have the same numbers of zeros in the factors as the product​

Answers

Answer:

same: 30×40 = 1200different: 20×50 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product

Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product

__

Same: 0.3×0.4 = 0.12 . . . . no zeros in the factors; no zeros in the product

Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point

_____

For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.

Example: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.

__

For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)

Additional comment

Here, the term "mantissa" is used to refer to the portion of the number written in scientific notation that multiplies the power of 10.

Solve for X
5x-8 Answer is not 4.5 or 9/2

Answers

Answer:

[tex]{ \rm{5x - 8 < x + 10}} \\ \\ { \rm{5x - x < 10 + 8}} \\ \\ { \rm{4x < 18}} \\ \\ { \rm{x < 4.5}}[/tex]

Solving for x in the inequality gives us;

x < 4.5

Inequality

We are given the inequality;

5x - 8 < x + 10

The first step is to use addition property of equality to add 8 to both sides;

5x - 8 + 8 < x + 10 + 8

5x < x + 18

Use subtraction property of equality to subtract x from both sides to get;

5x - x < x + 18 - x

4x < 18

Using division property of equality, we have;

x < 18/4

x < 4.5

The Hayes family and the Rodrigues family use their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Hayes family sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water Output rate for the Rodriguez family speakers is 30 L per hour.Families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 75 hour result in a total water of output of 1725 L how long was a sprinkler used?

Answers

Answer:

Hayes family: 35 hoursRodrigues family: 40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the usage hours by the Hayes and Rodrigues families, respectively. The problem statement gives us relations that can be used to write equations for volume of use and for total hours.

  15x +30y = 1725 . . . . . total liters of use

  x + y = 75 . . . . . . . . . total hours of use

The second equation lets us write an expression for y:

  y = 75 -x

This can be substituted into the first equation to give ...

  15x +30(75 -x) = 1725

  -15x + 2250 = 1725 . . . . . . simplify

  -15x = -525 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2250

  x = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -15

  y = 75 -35 = 40

The Hayes family used their sprinklers for 35 hours; the Rodrigues family used theirs for 40 hours.

A lock consist of 4 dials, where each dial has 6 letters.what is the probability of guessing the right combination in one try?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of choices is 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 1296

You have one chance to get it right

That's 1/1296 = 0.00077

Answer:

1/1296

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilty of getting one of the dials correct is 1/6 because there are 6 letters on each dial. So if there are 4 dials, then the chance is multiplied by itself 4 times (1/6 * 1/6 *1/6 * 1/6). 1/6 * 1/6 *1/6 * 1/6 is equal to 1/1296.

The length of a rectangular garden is 30 yards more than the width. The perimeter is 300 yards. Find the length and width

Answers

Answer:

Length is 90yards and width is 60yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 2( length+width)

let the width be x

then the length will be 30 + x

300 = 2(30+x+x)

150 = 30 + 2x

120= 2x

x = 120/2

x = 60 yards

length= 30+x

= 30 + 60

= 90yards

LCM of two numbers is 1134 and HCF is 18. if one of the numbers is 162, find the other. number.

Answers

Answer:  126

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

Work Shown:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

We're given x = 162 and the variable y is unknown.

We're also given LCM = 1134 and HCF = 18

So,

LCM = (x*y)/HCF

1134 = 162*y/18

1134 = (162/18)y

1134 = 9y

9y = 1134

y = 1134/9

y = 126

The other number is 126

---------------------

Notice that

162 = 18*9126 = 18*7

showing that 18 is the highest common factor (HCF) of the numbers 162 and 126. This partially confirms the answer.

Now let,

A = multiples of 162B = multiples of 126

So,

A = 162, 324, 486, 648, 810, 972, 1134, 1296, ...B = 126, 252, 378, 504, 630, 756, 882, 1008, 1134, 1260, ...

We see that 1134 is in each list of multiples and the smallest such common item. So the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 162 and 126 is 1134. This helps fully confirm the answer.

A colony of bacteria is growing at a rate of 50% per hour. If this rate of growth remains the same and the colony starts with 100 bacteria, approximately how many bacteria will there be after 6 hours

Answers

Answer:

1,139.0625

Step-by-step explanation:)

100 BACTERIA to start

1Hour = 50% of the start (which is 100 so half would be 50) this suggest 100+50= 150

2hour = 50% of 150 which is 75 and this suggest

150+75= 225

3 hour = 50% of 225 which is 112.5 this suggest

225+112.5=337.5

4hours = 50% of 337.5 which is 168.75 this suggest

337.5 + 168.75=506.25

5hours = 50% of 506.25 which is 253.125 this suggest

506.25+253.125=759.375

6hours = 50% of 759.375 which is 379.6875 this suggest

759.375+379.6875=1,139.0625

What is Function?

A function is an expression, rule, or law in mathematics that describes a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable). Functions are common in mathematics and are required for the formulation of physical relationships in the sciences.

We have to find the value of function for x=4.

This means that from the figure we have to find the value of y when x= 4.

Now, looking into the figure we have

f(4)= 2

f(0)= -2

f(-1)= -1

f(3)= 4

So, the required value is 2.
