Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

If i recall right when two slopes are perpendicular one slope is supposed to be the negative reciprical of the other slope, because of this I think your answer should be B. -\frac{2}{3}

One end of a 4ft iron rod is attached to the center of a pulley with radius of 0.5 ft. The other end is attached at a 40 degree

mr_godi [17]

We use the formula
L = rθ
where s is the arc length or the length of the wire
r is the distance from the center to the end of the rod
θ is the angle made by the rod with the wall

Substituting the values and converting the angle to radian measure
L = 4 (40°) (π/180°)
L = 2.79 feet<span />

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

$(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2}$ ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

$(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}$

$(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}$

$(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144$

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

$x^{2} +18x = 144$

On rearranging,

$x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0$

$x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0$

$x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0$

$(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0$

So x = 6 and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

A model spaceship costs $15.99 before tax. The tax on the model spaceship is 8%. What is the total cost of the model spaceship?

yan [13]

Model spaceship cost = $15.99
Tax % = 8%

Amount of tax = 15.99*0.08 = $1.279

Amount after tax = $15.99+$1.279 = 17.2692
After rounding-off to the nearest cent, it would be $17.27

So, your final answer is $17.27

Hope this helps!

The figure shows the layout of a symmetrical pool in a water park. What is the area of this pool rounded to the tens place? Use

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$2489ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool are is divided into 4 separated shapes: 2 circular sections and 2 isosceles triangles. Basically, to calculate the whole area, we need to find the area of each section. Due to its symmetry, both triangles are equal, and both circular sections are also the same, so it would be enough to calculate 1 circular section and 1 triangle, then multiply it by 2.

<h3>Area of each triangle:</h3>

From the figure, we know that <em>b = 20ft </em>and <em>h = 25ft. </em>So, the area would be:

$A_{t}=\frac{b.h}{2}=\frac{(20ft)(25ft)}{2}=250ft^{2}$
