Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints

The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,

n = number of steps per minute
P = pace length in meters
Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour

∵ n = number of steps per minute

∴ n unit is number / minute

∵ P = pace length in meters

∴ P unit is meter

- That means n P unit is meters/minute

∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second

∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters

∵ n P = 140

∴ n(0.8) = 140

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ n = 175

- That means he moves 175 steps per minute

∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute

∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

∵ 1 km = 1000 m

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change

from meters per minute to kilometers per hour

∴ His walking speed = $\frac{140}{1000}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{60}$

- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign

∴ His walking speed = $\frac{140}{1000}$ × $\frac{60}{1}$ = 8.4 km/h

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line -3x + y/2 = -3 passes through the points (1, 0) and (0, -6).

First rearrange the equation

-3x + y/2 = -3

Y = 2( 3x - 3 )

Y = 6x - 6 ..... (1)

Also, the slope of points (1, 0) and (0, -6). Will be

M = ( -6 - 0 )/( 0 - 1 )

M = -6/-1

M = 6

Using general linear equation

Y = MX + C

Let Y = 0 and X = 1

0 = 6(1) + C

C = -6

Substitutes C back into the equation

Y = 6x - 6 ...... (2)

The value of b that will cause the system to have infinitely many number of solutions is 6

Mick paid $2.94 in sales tax on an item that cost $42.00 before tax. At that rate, how much would he paying sales tax before an

sergiy2304 [10]

To answer this question you would have two steps involved. The first step would be to find the percentage of $42 that gives us $2.94. Set up an equation 42x=2.94. Divide both sides by 42 to get the decimal 0.07. This equal 7%. Take this percentage multiplied by the $58. You need to change the 7% into 0.07 to be able to calculate it. 0.07 x 58 = $4.06 sales tax.

You are designing a miniature golf course and need to calculate the surface area and volume of many of the objects that will be

laiz [17]

a. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a sphere: $A=4 \pi r^2$
where
$A$ is the surface area of the sphere
$r$ is the radius of the sphere
We know from our problem that $r=5ft$ ; so lets replace that value in our formula:
$A=4 \pi (5ft)^2$
$A=314.16ft^2$

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a sphere: $V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
Where
$V$ is the volume of the sphere
$r$ is the radius
We know form our problem that $r=5ft$ , so lets replace that in our formula:
$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi (5ft)^3$
$V=523.6ft^3$

We can conclude that the surface area of the sphere is 314.16 square feet and its volume is 523.6 cubic feet.

b. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a square pyramid: $A=a^2+2a \sqrt{ \frac{a^2}{4} +h^2}$
where
$A$ is the surface area
$a$ is the measure of the base
$h$ is the height of the pyramid
We know form our problem that $a=8ft$ and $h=12ft$ , so lets replace those value sin our formula:
$A=(8ft)^2+2(8ft) \sqrt{ \frac{(8ft)^2}{4} +(12ft)^2}$
$A=266.39ft^2$

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a square pyramid: $V=a^2 \frac{h}{3}$
where
$V$ is the volume
$a$ is the measure of the base
$h$ is the height of the pyramid
We know form our problem that $a=8ft$ and $h=12ft$ , so lets replace those value sin our formula:
$V=(8ft)^2 \frac{(12ft)}{3}$
$V=256ft^3$

We can conclude that the surface area of our pyramid is 266.39 square feet and its volume is 256 cubic feet.

c. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a circular cone: $A= \pi r(r+ \sqrt{h^2+r^2}$
where
$A$ is the surface area
$r$ is the radius of the circular base
$h$ is the height of the cone
We know form our problem that $r=5ft$ and $h=8ft$ , so lets replace those values in our formula:
$A= \pi (5ft)[(5ft)+ \sqrt{(8ft)^2+(5ft)^2}]$
$A=226.73ft^2$

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume os a circular cone: $V= \pi r^2 \frac{h}{3}$
where
$V$ is the volume
$r$ is the radius of the circular base
$h$ is the height of the cone
We know form our problem that $r=5ft$ and $h=8ft$ , so lets replace those values in our formula:
$V= \pi (5ft)^2 \frac{(8ft)}{3}$
$V=209.44ft^3$

We can conclude that the surface area of our cone is 226.73 square feet and its surface area is 209.44 cubic feet.

d. To solve the first part, we are going to use the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: $A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
where
$A$ is the surface area
$w$ is the width
$l$ is the length
$h$ is the height
We know from our problem that $w=6ft$ , $l=10ft$ , and $h=16ft$ , so lets replace those values in our formula:
$A=2[(6ft)(10ft)+(16ft)(10ft)+(16ft)(6ft)]$
$A=632ft^2$

To solve the second part, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: $V=whl$
where
$V$ is the volume
$w$ is the width
$l$ is the length
$h$ is the height
We know from our problem that $w=6ft$ , $l=10ft$ , and $h=16ft$ , so lets replace those values in our formula:
$V=(6ft)(16ft)(10ft)$
$V=960ft^3$

We can conclude that the surface area of our solid is 632 square feet and its volume is 960 cubic feet.

e. Remember that a face of a polygon is a side of polygon.
- A sphere has no faces.
- A square pyramid has 5 faces.
- A cone has 1 face.
- A rectangular prism has 6 faces.
Total faces: 5 + 1 + 6 = 12 faces

<span>We can conclude that there are 12 faces in on the four geometric shapes on the holes.
</span>
f. Remember that an edge is a line segment on the boundary of the polygon.
- A sphere has no edges.
- A cone has no edges.
- A rectangular pyramid has 8 edges.
- A rectangular prism has 12 edges.
Total edges: 8 + 20 = 20 edges

Since we have 20 edges in total, we can conclude that your boss will need 20 brackets on the four shapes.

g. Remember that the vertices are the corner points of a polygon.
- A sphere has no vertices.
- A cone has no vertices.
- A rectangular pyramid has 5 vertices.
- A rectangular prism has 8 vertices.
Total vertices: 5 + 8 = 13 vertices

We can conclude that there are 0 vertices for the sphere and the cone; there are 5 vertices for the pyramid, and there are are 8 vertices for the solid (rectangular prism). We can also conclude that your boss will need 13 brackets for the vertices of the four figures.

If you were to plot y versus m using the equation y = (g/k) m yo, how would you calculate the value for k?

Zanzabum

Equation is given as;

y = (g/k) yo

To find the value of “k”, divide both sides of the equation with yo;

y/yo = (g/k)yo/yo

it implies that;

y/yo = (g/k)

Now following steps will obtain the value of “k” as;

ky/yo = g

ky = gyo

<span>k = gy0/y </span>
