Tony and Manuel were trimming the branches of a tree. Tony was using an 18 ft ladder and Manuel was using a 24 ft ladder. Both l

adders were leaning against the tree at a 40° angle, creating similar triangles. The bottom of the 18 ft ladder was 7 feet away from the tree, What is the distance the taller ladder is from the tree, measured in feet and inches?

Answer:

9.33 feet = 111.96 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have similar triangles, the rate between matching sides is the same.

So the length of the smaller ladder (18 ft) over the length of the taller ladder (24 ft) is equal to the distance from the bottom of the smaller ladder to the tree (7 ft) over the distance from the bottom of the taller ladder to the tree (x ft):

18 / 7 = 24 / x

x = 7 * 24 / 18

x = 9.33 feet

To find this measure in inches, we just need to multiply by 12:

x = 9.33 * 12 = 111.96 inches

if the volume of the prism is represented by 15x2 + x + 2 and the height is x2, which expression represents B, the area of the b

cricket20 [7]

The volume of a prism is the product of the area of a the base and its height. Given the volume of the prism as 15x2 + x + 2 and the height as x2, the base can be expressed using this expressions. Volume = base x height. By substitution, <span>15x2 + x + 2 = (base) x (x2). Thus the answer is, base = (15x2 + x + 2)/x2 or base = 15 + (1/x) + (2/x2).</span>

A circle fits inside a semicircle of diameter 24mm

patriot [66]

Answer:

The shaded are is $113\ mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shaded area is equal to the area of the semicircle minus the area of the circle inside the semicircle

step 1

Find the area of semicircle

The area of semicircle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$

where

$r=24/2=12\ mm$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}\pi(12)^{2}=72\pi\ mm^{2}$

step 2

Find the area of the circle inside the semicircle

The area of circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

$r=12/2=6\ mm$ ---> the radius of circle inside is half the radius of semicircle

substitute

$A=\pi(6)^{2}=36\pi\ mm^{2}$

step 3

Find the shaded area

$72\pi\ mm^{2}-36\pi\ mm^{2}=36\pi\ mm^{2}$

assume

$\pi=3.14$

$36(3.14)=113.04\ mm^{2}$

3 significant figures is

$113\ mm^{2}$

If 2x2 + y2 = 17 then evaluate the second derivative of y with respect to x when x = 2 and y = 3. Round your answer to 2 decimal

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y''=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $2x^2+y^2=17$

We have evaluate the second order derivative of y w.r.t. x when x=2 and y=3.

Differentiate w.r.t x

Then , we get

$4x+2yy'=0$

$2x+yy'=0$

$yy'=-2x$

$y'=-\frac{2x}{y}$

Again differentiate w.r.t.x

Then , we get

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$ $(u\cdot v)'=u'v+v'u)$

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$

Using value of y'

$yy''=-2-(-\frac{2x}{y})^2$

$y''=-\frac{2+(-\frac{2x}{y})^2}{y}$

Substitute x=2 and y=3

Then, we get $y''=-\frac{2+(\frac{4}{3})^2}{3}$

$y''=-\frac{18+16}{9\times 3}=-\frac{34}{27}$

Hence,y''=-1.26

Mixed numbers between 0 and 2 with an interval of 1/3 between each pair of mixed numbers

Marysya12 [62]

A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction.The smallest whole number is 1.So no mixed number can be less than 1.
Mixed numbers that are 1/3 apart and are between 0 and 2
could be (1-1/3) and (1-2/3).
They could also be (1-1/6), (1-1/2), and (1-5/6) .
