Running from the top of a flagpole to a hook in the ground there is a rope that is 13 meters long. If the hook is 5 meters from the flagpole, how tall is the flagpole?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem we can see that it typifies a right angled triangle. The rope running from the top of the flagpole to the hook on the ground is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Let us call this hypotenuse c. Let the distance between the hook and the foot of the flagpole be b. Let the height of the flagpole be a.

From Pythagoras theorem;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a^2= c^2 - b^2

a= √c^2-b^2

From the question

c= 13 metres

b= 5 metres

a= the unknown

a= √c^2-b^2

a= √(13)^2 - (5)^2

a= √169 - 25

a= √144

a= 12 meters

Answer 2

Answer:

The flagpole  12 meters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Running from the top of a flagpole to a hook in the ground there is a rope that is 13 meters long

∵ The hook is 5 meters from the flag pole

∵ The flagpole and the ground ⊥ to each other

By using Pythagoras theorem:

hypothenus side is 13m

base is 5m

how tall is the flagpole is x

[tex]13^2=x^2+5^2\\\\169=x^2+25\\\\x^2=169-25\\\\x^2=144\\\\x=12m[/tex]

The flagpole  12 meters tall

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points.

Answers

Answer:

y = x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (7-3)/(2 - -2)

   =(7-3)/(2+2)

  = 4/4

   = 1

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b

y = x+b

Substitute a point in

7 = 2+b

Subtract 2 from each side

5 =b

y = x+5

Answer:

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (7 - 3) / (2 - (-2))

= 4/4

= 1

Since y = mx + b and m = 1,

y = (1) * x + b

y = x + b

7 = 2 + b

b = 5

Putting b = 5 in y = x + b, we get:

y = x + 5

There are 10 cards in a hat, numbered 1 to 10. The game is to draw one card out of the hat. If the number you draw is even, you win $30. If the number you draw is odd, you win nothing. If you play the game, what is the expected payoff?

$___

Answers

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 cards and a total possible prize of 30 dollars, the probability for each one is 30/10=3 dollars. And since 5 out of the 10 are even, you can multiply the individual amount by 5 to get a total estimated payout of $15. Hope this helps!

Complete question:

Emily convinced her mom to buy a giant box of her favorite cereal. Her mom doesn't think the box will fit on their shelf. The volume of the box is 10,000 cm^3 cubed. The base of the box is 25cm by 10cm.

How tall is the box of cereal?

Answer: 40cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

A box is normally in the shape of a cube

formula of volume of a cube;

We want to find the height(tallness)

Volume=LengthxWidthxHeight

Volume = 10,000cm^3

Base of box = 25cm by 10cm,

Base of box = Length × width

Therefore:

Length = 25cm, Width = 10cm

Volume = Lengh × Width × Height

10,000cm^3 = 25cm × 10cm × Height

10,000cm^3 = 250cm^2 × Height

Height = 10,000cm^3 ÷ 250cm^2

Height = 40cm

In the diagram, AB is parallel to DE. Also, DE is drawn such that the length of DE is half of the length of AB. If sin A = 0.5, then what is sin E?
A) 2
B) 1
C) 0.5
D) 0.25
E) 0.1

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

PLATO

So, sin E=0.5. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, AB║DE and sinA= 0.5.

We need to find the value of sin E.

How to find the value of sin?

The value of sinθ must always be between −1 and 1. So the domain of f(x) = sinθ contains all the real numbers, but the range is −1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1. We can also see that the function repeats itself every 360°.

Now, sinA = 0.5

⇒∠A=30°

∠A=∠E=30° (∵∠A and ∠E are alternate angles)

 

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

b) 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

Given diagram the angles are (9 x + 6)°, (10 x + 7)°, (10 x - 1)°

we know that the sum of the angles of the triangle is equal to 180°

∠A +∠B +∠C = 180°

(9 x + 6)°+(10 x + 7)°+ (10 x - 1)° = 180°

On simplification , we get

29 x + 12 = 180

29 x = 180 -12

29 x = 168

Answer:

576π in² and 1,809 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, the formula for the area of a circle, or A = πr², will need to be used.

In this question, we are only given the diameter. Simply divide by 2 to calculate the radius:

48/2 = 24 inches.

Now, plugging this into the equation for the Area of a Circle, gets us:

A = π24²

A = 576π or 1808.64 in².

Looking at the answer choices, we can choose 576π in² and 1,809 in² (as 1808.64 ≈1809)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)  where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

So substituting the given values:

y - (-2) = 1/3(x - 2)

y + 2 = 1/3x - 2/3     Multiply through by 3:

3y + 6 = x - 2

x - 3y  =  6 + 2

Because, for every one square, the line goes down by 1/2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gradient of a line,

divide the value of decrease by the value across.

So, count across from the extreme left toll the extreme right = 13

Where you completed in the extreme right, you have to count down till you reach the other end of the line = 6.5

Now, you divide: 6.5 divided by 13 = 0.5

Since we counted down, it is negative = -0.5
