Lucia and Maria are business women who decided to invest money by buying farm land in Brazil. They started their investments at

the same time, and each month they buy more land. Lucia bought 111111 hectares of land in the first month, and each month afterwards she buys 555 additional hectares. Maria bought 666 hectares of land in the first month, and each month afterward her total number of hectares increases by a factor of 1.41.41, point, 4. In which month will Maria's amount of land first exceed Lucia's amount of land?

Answer:

In 7th month Maria's amount of land first exceed Lucia's amount of land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucia and Maria started their investment by buying farm land in Brazil at the same time.

According to the question it is given that

Lucia bought land in the first month = 11 hectares

afterwards she buys additional land each month = 5 hectares

Maria buys in the first month = 6 hectares

afterwards she buys additional land each month = factor of 1.4

Here is a table, that shows the Maria's and Lucia's amount of land in each month.

Months Lucia's land 11+(5) Maria's land 6(1.4)

(in hectare) (in hectare)

1 11 6

2 16 8.4

3 21 11.76

4 26 16.46

5 31 23

6 36 32.2

7 41 45.08

So from the above data we can see in 7th month Maria's amount of land would exceed Lucia's amount of land.

Answer:

In 7th month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of months = x.

It is given that Lucia bought 11 hectares of land in the 1st month and added 5 hectares each month after.

Amount of land Lucia bought, $L(x)=11+5(x-1)$

Now, Maria bought 6 hectares of land in the 1st month and increases land by a factor of 1.4 each month after.

Amount of land Maria bought, $M(x)=6(1.4)^{x-1}$

<em>So, we will form the table for the values of the functions representing the lands,</em>

Months (x) Lucia, $L(x)=11+5(x-1)$ Maria, $M(x)=6(1.4)^{x-1}$

1 11 6

2 16 8.4

3 21 11.8

4 26 16.5

5 31 23

6 36 32.2

7 41 45.1

8 46 63.1

So, we see that,

In 7th month, Maria'a amount of land will exceed Lucia's amount of land.

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

Here we will apply rule of 3...

This formula, A = πR², its for the whole circle, that is, 360° (2π)

We want the area of only a part, that is, a circular sector whose angle π/6

sector area

2π ----- πR²

π/6 ----- X

2πX = (π/6).πR²

2πX = π²R²/6

X = π²R²/12π

<h3>X = πR²/12</h3>

If Ronisha multiply the area by 1/12 she will get the area of sector with angle of π/6

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s. This situation is represented

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

d-5=2s

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s.

The equation used to represent it is :

d = 2s +5

We need to find the equivalent equation for the above equation.

If we take 5 to LHS of the equation, it will become -5 such that,

d-5=2s

Hence, option (b) is the equivalent equation.

Two boats leave port at noon. Boat 1 sails due east at 12 knots. Boat 2 sails due south at 8 knots. At 2 pm the wind diminishes

Ivan

Answer:

14.86 knots.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

The boats leave the port at noon.

Speed of boat 1 = 12 knots due east

Speed of boat 2 = 8 knots due south

At 2 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 9 knots:

At 3 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 + 9= 33 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16+8 = 24 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 8+7 = 15 knots

At 5 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 33 + 2 $\times$ 9= 51 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 24 + 2 $\times$ 15 = 54 units due south

Now, the situation of distance traveled can be seen by the attached right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

O is the port and A is the location of boat 1

B is the location of boat 2.

Using pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 51^{2} + 54^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 2601+ 2916 = 5517\\\Rightarrow AB = 74.28\ units$

so, the total distance between the two boats is 74.28 units.

Change in distance per hour = $\dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{74.28}{5} = 14.86\ knots$

At a gymnastics meet, three judges evaluate the balance beam performances of five gymnasts, using a scale from 1 to 10, where 10

Art [367]

Answer:

As 2.551 < 3.84 therefore we reject H0.

As 44.803 > 4.46 so we accept null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is attached.

There are three judges so v1 = 3-1= 2 and v2 = (4*2)= 8

There are five gymnasts so v1 = 5-1= 4 and v2= (4*2)= 8

For alpha = 0.05 we find the value of F1 and F2 from the table.

A right pyramid with a square base has a base edge length of 12 meters and slant height of 6StartRoot 2 EndRoot meters. The apot

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Volume of the right pyramid = 288 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}\times {\text{Area of the rectangular base}\times height(h)$

From the ΔAOB,

By Pythagoras theorem,

AB² = AO² + OB²

(6√2)² = AO² + (6)²

72 = AO² + 36

AO = √(36) = 6 m

Since base of the pyramid is a square so area of the base = (Length × Width) = (side)²

Now volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}[(Length)(width)]\times height$

= $\frac{1}{3}(12\times 12)\times 6$

= 288 m²

Therefore, volume of the right pyramid is 288 m².
