Answer: 5 inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Volume of clay = 48 cubic inches

If we make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge a= 6 inches.

Then its base area = a^2=6^2=36\ inches^2

we know that volume of square right pyramid=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h

Therefore, volume of square right pyramid made by all of clay=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h=48 cubic inches

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\ (36)\times\ h=48\\\Rightarrow12h=48\\\Rightarrow\ h=4\ inches.....\text{[Divide 12 on both sides]}

Now, slant height l=\sqrt{(\frac{a}{2})^2+h^2}

\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{9+16}\\\rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{25}\\\Rightarrow\ l=5

The slant height of the pyramid if Helen uses all the clay=5 inches

Jack is building a square garden. Each side length measures 777 meters. Jack multiplies 7\times77×77, times, 7 to find the amoun
Inessa [10]

Answer:

49 square meters represent area of the square garden

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side length=7 meters

He multiplied 7 × 7 times to find the amount of space

=49 square meters

Jack is trying to measure the area of his square garden

Area of the square garden = length^2

=Length × length

Recall,

Length=7 meters

Area of the square garden= 7 meters × 7 meters

=49 square meters

The infield of a baseball field is a square
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

  106.1 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the diagonal of a square is √2 times the length of one side, so the distance from 3rd to 1st is 90√2 feet ≈ 127.2792 ft.

The speed is the ratio of distance to time:

  speed = distance/time = 127.2972 ft/(1.2 s) ≈ 106.1 ft/s.

_____

In case you have never figured or seen the computation of the diagonal of a square (the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle), consider the square with side lengths 1. The diagonal will cut the square into halves that are isosceles right triangles with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the diagonal length d:

  d² = 1² + 1²

  d² = 2

  d = √2

Since this is the diagonal for a side length of 1, any other side length will serve as a scale factor for this value. A square with a side length of 90 ft will have a diagonal measuring 90√2 ft.

What is the equation of the translated function, g(x), if f(x) = x2?
Eddi Din [679]

All of these would be translated versions of f(x).


A translated version is simply one in which the base equation is used and then moved. Each of these equations are quadratics with a starting term of x^2. All of them move up and down or side to side in some way and direction, but all of them would be translated versions of that graph.

After traveling for 4 hours and 1800 miles, an airplane begins a steady descent. When it begins descending, its altitude (height
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Part 1)  Descending Rate = -2,000 ft/min

Part 2)  Starting altitude value is 33,000 ft

Part 3)  The linear equation for the plane's altitude (y) as a function of time (x) is:  y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,33000\,ft

Part 4)  The information not used for the equation is that the plane was travelling for 4 hours to cover 1800 miles before starting the descent

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The rate at which the airplane descends is given by the difference between final and initial altitude (17,000 ft-33,000 ft) divided the elapsed time (8 minutes):

Descending\,\,Rate\,= \frac{17000-33000}{8} \,\,\frac{ft}{min}=\frac{-16000}{8} \,\,\frac{ft}{min}=-\,2000\,\,\frac{ft}{min}

Part 2)

When graphing the descent (that is the plane's altitude as a function of time), the starting value for the altitude should be 33,000 ft

Part 3)

We can build the equation of the plane's altitude as a function of time in slope y-intercept form y = m x + b

by noticing that the slope "m" stands for the rate of descent that we found in part 1), and then using the information that at time zero (when the plane starts its descent), its altitude is 33000 ft:

y=m\,x\,+\,b\\y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,b\\33000=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,(0)\,+\,b\\33000=b

with this information about the intercept "b", we can write the final expression for the plane's altitude as a function of time during its descent as:

y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,33000\,ft

Part 4)

The information that was not used to write the descent equation was the initial details about how long the plane traveled (4 hours) and for 1800 miles.
