40 ft

The diagram above shows a 40-foot flagpole and its shadow in relation to a nearby building that is

324 feet tall. If the flagpole's shadow is 50% longer than the flagpole itself, how far is the

building from the flagpole?

Answers

Answer 1

The distance between the flagpole and the building is the number of feet between them

The building is 162 feet from the flagpole

How to determine the distance

The given parameters are:

Flagpole = 40 feetBuilding Shadow = 324 feet

The flagpole's shadow is 50% longer than the flagpole.

So, the length (l) of the flagpole's shadow is:

[tex]l = 40 * (1 + 50\%)[/tex]

[tex]l = 60[/tex]

The length of the building's shadow (d) is then calculated as:

[tex]60 : 40 =d : 324[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{60}{40}= \frac{d}{324}[/tex]

[tex]1.50 = \frac{d}{324}[/tex]

Solve for d

[tex]d = 1.50 * 324[/tex]

[tex]d = 486[/tex]

The distance (x) of the building from the flagpole is then calculated as:

[tex]x = 486 - 324[/tex]

[tex]x = 162[/tex]

Hence, the building is 162 feet from the flagpole

Answers

Answer:

x must be 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios.  Start with the ratio of the hypotenuses:  

 x + 2         x

----------- = --------

 x + 5        x + 2

Cross multiplying results in (x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 5x

performing the indicated squaring, (x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4.  And therefore:

x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 5x

Simplifying, we get 4x + 4 = 5x, so x must be 4

Answers

Answer:

The answer is going to be 85.5 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first car is going 49 miles for every hour and the second at 68 we now have our two numbers. then we know its 4.5 hours so our equation goes like this.

(68*4.5)-(49*4.5)=y

Answers

Given:

[tex]cos(2x)=1-sin(x)[/tex]

Expanding using double angle formula,

[tex]1 - 2 \sin^{2} (x) = 1 - \sin(x) [/tex]

Rearranging into a single equation,

[tex]1 - 2 \sin^{2}(x) - 1 + \sin(x) = 0[/tex]

Combining like terms,

[tex] - 2 \sin^{2} (x) + \sin(x) = 0[/tex]

Now multiplying each term by -1,

[tex]2 \sin^{2} (x) - \sin(x) = 0[/tex]

Factor greatest common factors out,

[tex] \sin(x)(2 \sin(x) - 1) = 0[/tex]

Applying Zero property rule,

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 2x-10y=-20.

Answers

As a result, the slope is 1/5 and the y-intercept is 2, and the equation is written in slope-intercept form as y = (1/5)x + 2.

what is slope intercept ?

On a two-dimensional coordinate plane, the equation of a line is shown using the slope-intercept form. Y = mx + b, where m is the line's slope and b is the y-intercept, is how the equation is expressed. The pace at which the line is rising or dropping is indicated by the slope (m). It is the ratio of any two places on the line's vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run). In other words, it informs you of the line's steepness. The line is rising from left to right if the slope is positive, and descending from left to right if the slope is negative.

given

We must find y in order to convert the equation 2x - 10y = -20 into slope-intercept form, which is represented by the formula y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2x - 10y = -20

Initially, we must separate the y term from the other terms by deducting 2x from both sides:

-10y = -2x - 20

The next step is to separate y by multiplying both sides by -10:

y = (2/10)x + 2

When we simplify the fraction, we obtain:

y = (1/5)x + 2

As a result, the slope is 1/5 and the y-intercept is 2, and the equation is written in slope-intercept form as y = (1/5)x + 2.

Answers

Answer:

i) see attached diagram

ii) 400 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don’t know the mass of the seesaw, take moments about M (so we don’t have to consider R or mg).

Moment = Force x Perpendicular Distance to the Pivot

As the system is in equilibrium, total anti-clockwise moment = total clockwise moment:

⇒ 300 × 0.8 = b × 0.6

⇒         0.6 b = 240

⇒               b = 400 N
