How far from the base of the house do you need to place an 18’ ladder so that it exactly reaches the top of a 14’ wall?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of Ladder(Hypotenuse)=18

Height of wall(Opposite) =14

How far from the base... This talks about the adjacent or distance between the wall and the base.

You can get your answer from Pythagoras theorem

Which states

The square of the hypotenuse is = to the squares of the adjacent and Opposite sides

H² = O² + A²

We're looking for the adjacent "A"

Making A the subject

A² = H² - O²

A= √H² - O²

A= √18² - 14²

A=√128

A= 8√2'

Answers

Answer:

m∡ZA = 51°

m∡ZB = 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡ZB = 'b'

∡ZA = '12 + b'

b + 12 + b = 90

2b + 12 = 90

2b = 78

b = 39

12 + 39 = 51

Mr. Wu rides his bike at 6 mph to the bus station. He then rides the bus to work, averaging 30 mph.

If he spends 20 minutes less time on bus than on the bike, and the
distance from his house to work is 26 miles, what is the distance from
his house to bus station?

Fill out the information in the table for your convenience. Write the
equation. Solve. Show your work. Check your work

Answers

Answer:

26 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 20 min to hrs: 20/60 = 1/3 hr

:

Let t = time on the bike

then

t-(1/3) = time on the bus

:

Write a dist equation Dist = speed * time:

:

Bike dist + bus dist = 26 mi

 

6t + 30[t-(1/3)] = 26

:

6t + 30t - 10 = 26

36t = 26 + 10

36t = 36

t = 1 hr on the bike

:

6 mph for 1 h = 6 mi from house to the bus station

:

:

Check solution by finding the distance

6(1) + 30(2/3) =

6 + 20 = 26 mi

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first thing to do is open parentheses:

7 (x - 3) = 49

7x - 21 = 49

- Then add 21 to each side:

7x - 21 = 49

7x = 70

- Now divide each side by 7:

7x = 70

x = 10

Subtract 81 from both sides

a² = 1600

Take the square root of both sides

Gun rights vs. gun control: In a December 2014 report, "For the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control." According to a Pew Research survey, 52% of Americans say that protecting gun rights is more important than controlling gun ownership. Gun rights advocates in a conservative city believe that the percentage is higher among city residents.
They survey 200 city residents and find that 130 say that protecting gun rights is more important than controlling gun ownership. What is the test statistic?
Z = -3.68
Z = 3.68
Z = -3.85
Z = 3.85

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is "z = 3.68".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

p = 52%

or,

  = 0.52

n = 200

[tex]\hat{p}= \frac{130}{200}[/tex]

  [tex]= 0.65[/tex]

Now

The test statistic will be:

⇒  [tex]z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

On substituting all the given values, we get

⇒     [tex]=\frac{0.65-0.52}{\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{200} } }[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{0.13}\sqrt{{\frac{0.52\times 0.48}{200} }}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{0.13}{\sqrt{0.001248} }[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=3.68[/tex]
