Answer: They will travel about 131.18 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A football field is 120 yards long by 53 yards wide.

We know that a football field is rectangular in shape.

Each interior angle in a rectangle is a right angle.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Diagonal)² = (Length)² + (Width)²

If a player runs diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner, then the length of the diagonal is given by :-

(\text{Diagonal})=\sqrt{(120)^2+(53)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ (\text{Diagonal})=\sqrt{14400+2809}\\\\\Rightarrow\ (\text{Diagonal})=\sqrt{17209}\\\\\Rightarrow\ (\text{Diagonal})=131.183078177\approx131.18\text{ yards}

Hence, they will travel about 131.18 yards.

Answer:

<h2>{5}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\{2,\ 5,\ 8,\ 11,\ 14\}\\\\B=\{1,\ 3,\ 5,\ 7\}\\\\A\ \cap\ B-\text{the intersection of two sets A and B,}\\\text{ is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B.}\\\\\text{Therefore:}\ A\ \cap\ B=\{5\}

(iii) Find the smallest whole number h such that<br>4704/h<br>is a cube number.<br>​
yan [13]

Answer:

h=588

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction \dfrac{4,704}{h}

Consider its numerator and factor it:

4,704=2^5\cdot 3\cdot 7^2

You cann not take the cube root from 3, 7^2, 2^5, you can only take the cube root from 2^3, then the smallest whole number h such that \dfrac{4,704}{h} is a cube number is

h=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 7^2=4\cdot 3\cdot 49=588

When h=588,

\dfrac{4,704}{588}=8=2^3

Anna and Veronica are on the opposite sides of a tower of 160 meters height. They measure the angle of elevation of the top of t
MAXImum [283]

Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.

The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:

Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.

Tan(40°) = X/160m

Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m

Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°

So we have:

Tan(55°) = X/160m

Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m

And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:

Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m

Trapezoid A B C D is shown. Sides A B and D C are parallel. Sides A D and B C are congruent. Angle B is (3 x) degrees and angle
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: The value of x in trapezoid ABCD is 15

Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid as described in the question has two bases which are AB and DC and these are parallel. Also it has sides AD and BC described as congruent (that is, equal in length or measurement). These descriptions makes trapezoid ABCD an isosceles trapezoid.

One of the properties of an isosceles trapezoid is that the angles on either side of the two bases are equal. Since line AD is equal to line BC, then angle D is equal to angle C. It also implies that angle A is equal to angle B.

With that bit of information we can conclude that the angles in the trapezoid are identified as 3x, 3x, 9x and 9x.

Also the sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 360. We can now express this as follows;

3x + 3x + 9x + 9x = 360

24x = 360

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

x = 15

Therefore, in trapezoid ABCD

x = 15

Make w the subject of the formula y-aw=2w-1
kipiarov [429]
Answer: <span>w = [ y + 1] / [a + 2]

Solution step by step:
</span>
1) given <span>formula: y-aw=2w-1

2) transpose aw and - 1

2w + aw = y + 1

3) common factor w:

w (a + 2) = y + 1

4) divide both sides by (a + 2):

w = [ y + 1] / [a + 2]
