Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented by a right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below.

The distance between Jin and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, x.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

hyp² = opp² + adj²

Where opp is the opposite side and adjacent is the adjacent side to any angle of consideration (which is not important in this case)

Hence:

x² = 12² + 9²

x² = 144 + 81

x² = 225

Finding the square root:

x = 15 ft

Jin and Zoe are 15 ft apart.

Sam bought brushes for $8, a palette for $5, and oil paints for $15. He paid $29.82 in all. What sales-tax rate did Sam pay?
klio [65]
Total purchased w/o tax: $8 +$5 + $15 = $28
He paid (w/tax) $29.82 so 
$ 29.82 - $28 = $1.82 (sale tax)

Now we need to find the sales tax rate:

$1.82 / $28 * 100 = 0.065 *100% = 6.5%

Double check:

$28 *6.5 / 100  = $1.82

$28 + $ 1.82 =  $29.82 total amount he paid..

So the sales tax rate is 6.5%

A 20-person fraternity is making their weekend plans around 5 different parties in IV. Each brother will attend exactly one of t
skad [1K]

Answer:

3876

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Fraternity members = 20

They are to attend 5 different parties in groups of 4

Meaning a group = 4 persons

Atleast one brother will attend exactly one of the parties. (the brothers are indistinguishable).

Then, exactly one brother at a party (20 - 1) = 19, since they are indistinguishable.

Group members are in 4's

19C4

From: nCr = n! /(n-r)! r!

19C4 = 19! / (19 - 4)! 4!

= 19! / 15! 4!

= (19 * 18 * 17 * 16) / (4 * 3 * 2)

= 93024 / 24

= 3876

Two ropes, AD and BD, are tied to a peg on the ground at point D. The other ends of the ropes are tied to points A and B on a fl

You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
     1        :  sqrt(3)  :        2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20
