Answer:

212m

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will be equivalent to a right angled triangle where the height is the opposite side facing the 45° angle directly. The length of the rope will be the slant side which is the hypotenuse.

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity to solve for the length of the rope;

Since we have the angle theta = 45° and opposite = 150m

According to SOH;

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse.

Sin45° = 150/hyp

hyp = 150/sin45°

hyp = 150/(1/√2)

hyp = 150×√2

hyp = 150√2 m

hyp = 212.13m

Hence the length of the rope for the kite sail, in order to pull the ship at an angle of 45° and be at a vertical height of 150 m is approximately 212m

A solid silver paperweight in the form of a square pyramid is shown below. If silver costs $0.12 per cubic centimeter, how much
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

It would cost $232.32, this answer is rounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is:

V=a^2\frac{h}{3}

So its just:

8.8^2\frac{12.5}{3} = 322.67 cm^3

Then you just multiply the volume by the cost per cubic centimetre:

322.67cm^3*$0.12=$38.704

After just multiply the cost of one by how many you want, which is 6:

38/704*6=232.32

The total operating cost to run the organic strawberry farm varies directly with its number of acres. What is the constant of va
kow [346]

Answer:

16\ acres

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the number of acres

y ---> total operating costs

we have the ordered pair (20,551,520)

For x=20 acres, y=$551,520

<em>Find the value of the constant of proportionality k</em>

k=\frac{y}{x}

substitute the values of x and y

k=\frac{551,520}{20}=\$27,576\ per\ acre

The linear equation is equal to

y=27,576x

Find out how many acres are on a farm with a total operating cost of $441,216

so

For y=$441,216

substitute in the linear equation the value of y and solve for x

441,216=27,576x

x=441,216/27,576

x=16\ acres

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is and in Russia it is . Assume these averages are the populatio
noname [10]

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $3.73 and in Russia it is $3.40 (Bloomberg Businessweek, March 5–March 11, 2012). Assume these averages are the population means in the two countries and that the probability distributions are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $.25 in the United States and a standard deviation of $.20 in Russia.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon?(to 4 decimals)

Answer:

0.1788

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula.

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon?(to 4 decimals)

For the United States

x is the raw score = $3.50

μ is the population mean = Average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $3.73

σ is the population standard deviation = standard deviation of $.25 in the United States = $0.25

z score = $3.50 - $3.73/$0.25

=-0.92

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 3.50) = P(x < 3.5) = P(z = -0.92)

= 0.17879

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.1788

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon is 0.1788

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
Ann [662]
Let
x--------> <span>the number of sandwich lunch specials sold
y-------> </span><span>the number of wrap lunch specials sold

we know that
2x+3y=1470

Part 1) </span><span>Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

we know that
</span>the equation to slope-intercept form is of the form
y=mx+b
so
2x+3y=1470------> solve for y
3y=1470-2x-----> divide by 3 both sides
y=(-2/3)x+1470/3
y=(-2/3)x+490

the slope m=-2/3
the y-intercept is 490


Part 2) <span>Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.

</span><span>the slope is -2/3  and the y-intercept is 490

Plot the point (0,490)------>  the y-intercept.
With the slope count 3 squares to the right and 2 squares down and plot that point, which is (0+3,490-2)--------> (3,488)
Draw a line through the two points  

Part 3) </span><span>Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.

In function notation, the equation is:
f(x)=(-2/3)x+490
The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.</span><span>

Part 4) </span>Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

Part 5) Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different

we have that
2x+3y=1593
3y=1593-2x--------> y=(-2/3)x+531
slope=(-2/3)
y intercept=531
therefore
similarities : same slope
differences : y intercepts are different.
<span>This is basically telling me that the lines are parallel lines because they have the same slope.
</span>
6) Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations

Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates

Let
 A( 0,300)  B (450,0)
a) find the slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)----> m=(0-300)/(450-0)----> m=-2/3
b) with the slope m=(-2/3) and the point A (0,300)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-300=(-2/3)*(x-0)----> y=(-2/3)x+300

the answer Part 6) is
y=(-2/3)x+300
