Two Boys are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long. One of them thinks that they can use a piece of plywood that is 4 feet long to cover the top of the frame.

This is one of theirs work.

a2 + b2 = c2
32 + b2 = 52
9 + b2 = 25
b2 = 16
b = 16−−√
b = 4

Why is his reasoning incorrect? Explain.


How long does the piece of plywood have to be to cover the top of the frame of the skateboard ramp? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show your work.

Another boys parents bought a 10 foot piece of plywood for him and his friend to use to cover the top of the frame. Draw and label a ramp they could create. Justify your work using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=-2

now using slope intercet formof equation of straight line,we get

y=mx+b

or, y=-2x + b

y + 2x =b

2x + y=b ......................   eq(i)

since the line passes through the point (4,5) it satisfies the equation (i)

y=5 and x=4 so,

equation is 2x +y =b

2*4 + 5=b

8+5=b

13=b

substituting the value of b in eq(i)

2x + y=b

2x + y=13

2x + y-13=0  is the required equation of the line.

Answer:

$494

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Amount transfer= $6

Balance after transfer= $488

Let the total amount in the account before the transfer be x

Hence

x-6= 488

x= 488+6

x=$494

Hence the amount in the account before the transfer is $494

Answer:

[tex]a_{n} =a_{n-1} -5.6[/tex] where [tex]a_{1} =-2.7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term is [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = -2.7 and has a common difference of [tex]d=-5.6[/tex].

Arithmetic Sequence: [tex]a_{n} =a_{n-1} +d[/tex]

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the nth term and [tex]d[/tex] is the common difference.

The common difference: -2.7, -8.3, -13.9...

Subtract: -2.7- (-8.3) = -5.6, -13.9 - (-8.3) = -5.6

Common difference: [tex]d = -5.6[/tex]

Recursive rule: [tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} -5.6[/tex]

Answer:

49N

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation for the force applied:

It is given that the mass of stone is 5 kg and it falls from the height of 100 meters. Therefore, a force can be determined by multiplying the mass will a constant value of "a".

Force = Mass x a

Force = 5 x 9.8

Force = 49 N

Since the action-reaction are equal and opposite so the each will apply the same force.

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

so in order for it to be a right triangle this would have to be true:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

since c represents the hypoteneuse, it will be the longest side. so:

60^2 + 63^2 = 88^2

3600 + 3969 = 7744

7569 = 7744

since that statement is not true, the answer is no.

it is not a right triangle  

the square root of 7569 is 87, so the triple would have to be : {60,63,87}

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

Explanation:

Consider a square on paper that is 3 inches by 3 inches. It's area would be 3*3 = 9 square inches.

The ratio 1 to 38 means that 1 inch on paper corresponds to 38 inches in real life (assuming the "1 to 38" doesn't have any verbal units attached to it; if so, then refer to the note below). So a 3 by 3 square corresponds to a 114 by 114 square because 3*38 = 114.

The area of the second larger square is 114*114 = 12,996 square inches.

Now divide the two areas: (12,996)/(9) = 1444

It's probably not entirely obvious, but through a bit of playing around with various numbers, you should find that 38^2 = 1444. It's not a coincidence that this happens. The linear scale factor is 38 which means the area scale factor is 38^2 = 1444.

In short, the larger square in real life has area that is 1444 times that of its scaled down counterpart.

Or put another way:

large area = 1444*(small area)

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

Side note: This all assumes that the numbers in "1 to 38" are both the same unit. If we had a mixed ratio of units like "1 inch to 38 feet", then the answer would be different. You would need to convert from feet to inches, and then follow the steps above to get a different answer.

Think of a table that has 2 rows and 3 columns.

Each row represents a different math class (either Algebra or Geometry).

Each column represents a different foreign language class (French, Spanish or Latin).

This table has 2*3 = 6 cells inside. Each cell represents a different combination of classes possible.

In short, all we have to do is multiply the number of classes for each subject.

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side represent the tens place of the number, and the right side represent the one sides of the number. So the numbers are

12,12,13,14,18,19,19, 20,23,26,27,31,31,31,32,34,41,44,45,48.

a. There are 20 terms so this equation 20/2=10 means the 10th term will be the median. make sure to also include the number 11th term becuase the number of terms is even. The 10th and 11th term are 26,27 so the median is the midpoint.

[tex] \frac{26 + 27}{2} = 26.5[/tex]

The median is 26.5

b. The range is maximum value minus minimum value.

[tex]48 - 12 = 36[/tex]

Answer:

a) 0.4215 = 42.15% probability that all are repaired in less than 6 hours.

b) 0.15 = 15% probability that exactly 3 of them repaired in a time below 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal and the binomial probability distributions.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Proportion repaired below 6 hours:

Mean 5 hours and standard deviation 1 hour, which means that [tex]\mu = 5, \sigma = 1[/tex]

This proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 6. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{6 - 5}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8413.

0.8413 repaired below 6 hours.

For the binomial distribution, this means that [tex]p = 0.8413[/tex]

5 are chosen:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

a) Probability that all are repaired in less than 6 hours

This is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.8413)^{5}.(0.1587)^{0} = 0.4215[/tex]

0.4215 = 42.15% probability that all are repaired in less than 6 hours.

b) Probability that exactly 3 of them repaired below 6 hours

This is P(X = 3). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.8413)^{3}.(0.1587)^{2} = 0.15[/tex]

0.15 = 15% probability that exactly 3 of them repaired in a time below 6 hours
