Vsevolod [243]

We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence. Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of yours.

We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.

Since the size of your friend's yard is $\frac{8}{5}$ times your yard, so your friend should purchase $\frac{8}{5}$ times the 319 feet.

$\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=\frac{8}{5}\times 319\text{ ft}$

$\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=8\times 63.8\text{ ft}$

$\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=510.4\text{ ft}$

Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

$\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}\approx 510\text{ ft}$

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²

A jury pool consists of 27 people. How many different ways can 11 people be chosen to serve on a jury and one additional person

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

208,606,320

Step-by-step explanation:

A jury pool consists of 27 people. 11 people be chosen to serve on a jury and one additional person be chosen to serve as the jury foreman

Total of 27 people. 11 people can be selected from 27 people in 27C11 ways

$27C11= \frac{27!}{11!(27-11)!} =13037895$

one additional person be chosen to serve as the jury foreman

after selecting 11 people , remaining is 27 - 11= 16 people

Now 1 is selected from 16 in 16 ways

Number of different ways = $13037895 \cdot 16=208606320$

A sailboat is sitting at rest near its dock. A rope attached to the bow of the boat is drawn in over a pulley that stands on a p

irina [24]

Answer:

The boat is approaching the dock at rate of 2.14 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given in the question can be modeled as a triangle, please refer to the attached diagram.

A rope attached to the bow of the boat is drawn in over a pulley that stands on a post on the end of the dock that is 5 feet higher than the bow that means x = 5 ft.

The length of rope from bow to pulley is 13 feet that means y = 13 ft.

We know that Pythagorean theorem is given by

$x^{2} + y^{2} = z^{2}$

Differentiating the above equation with respect to time yields,

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 2z\frac{dz}{dt}$

$x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt} = z\frac{dz}{dt}$

dx/dt = 0 since dock height doesn't change

$y\frac{dy}{dt} = z\frac{dz}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{z}{y} \frac{dz}{dt}$

The rope is being pulled in at a rate of 2 feet per second that is dz/dt = 2 ft/s

First we need to find z

z² = (5)² + (13)²

z² = 194

z = √194

z = 13.93 ft

So,

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{z}{y} \frac{dz}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{13.93}{13}(2)$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 2.14$ $ft/s$

Therefore, the boat is approaching the dock at rate of 2.14 ft/s

1. These four lines have been graphed on the same coordinate grid. Which lines are parallel to each other?

Sedaia [141]

1. lines j and k because they have the same slope.
2.d because -1/3 is the opposite slope of 3 and it passes through that point.
