Answer:

210.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a piece of ribbon is cut into two shorter pieces in the ratio 2.8:1.25.

So that means length of the first smaller piece = 2.8x

and length of the second smaller piece = 1.25x

Then difference between their lengths = 2.8x-1.25x = 1.55x

Given that difference is equal to 80.6 centimeters then we get

1.55x=80.6

or x= 80.6/1.55

or x=52

then length of the original piece = 2.8x+1.25x

= 2.8*52+1.25*52

= 145.6+65

= 210.6 cm

The Parsons have a balance of $3,664.47 in their check register. On their bank statement, the balance on the account is $2,346.8
Lapatulllka [165]
$2,346.89 + $500 + $1,456.81 = $4,303.70

$4,303.70 - $324.56 - $25.50 - $78.92 - $30.25 - $60 - $60 - $60 = $3,664.47

$3,664.47 is exactly what they have in their checkbook.

You drive 30 miles due east in a half hour. Then, you turn left and drive 30 miles north in 1 hour. What are your average speed
garri49 [273]
Original position: P1=(0,0)
<span>You drive 30 miles due east in a half hour: x=+30 miles, t1=1/2 hour=0.5 hours
</span><span>Then, you turn left and drive 30 miles north in 1 hour: y=+30 miles, t2=1 hour
Rectangular coordinates of final position: P2=(x,y)→P2=(30,30)
Total time: t=t1+t2=0.5 hours+1 hour→t=1.5 hours

Average speed: S ave=d/t
Total distance: d=x+y=30 miles+30 miles→d=60 miles
S ave = 60 miles / (1.5 hours)
S ave = 40 miles/hour

Velocity is a vector, the magnitude of this vector is the magnitude of the vector of change of position dividing by the total time t
The vector of change of position: s=P1-P2=(30,30)-(0,0)=(30-0,30-0)→
s=(30,30) 
Magnitude of vector s=sqrt[30^2+30^2]=sqrt[30^2*2]=sqrt[30^2]*sqrt(2)
Magnitude of vector s=30*sqrt(2) miles

Magnitude of velocity vector = Magnitud of vector s / t
Magnitude of velocity vector = [30*sqrt(2) miles] / (1.5 hours)
Magnitude of velocity vector = 20*sqrt(2) miles / hour
Magnitude of velocity vector=20*1.4142 miles / hour
Magnitude of velocity vector=28.284 miles/hour

Polar coordinates of your position=(r, theta)
r=Magnitude of vector s=30*sqrt(2) miles
theta=tan^(-1) (y/x) = tan^(-1) [(30 miles) / (30 miles)]
theta=tan^(-1) (1)→theta=45°=Pi/4 (Pi=3.1416)
Polar coordinates of your position: ( 30*sqrt(2) miles, 45°)
Polar coordinate of your position: ( 30*sqrt(2) miles, Pi/4 )

Answers:
Average speed: 40 miles / hour
Velocity: 20*sqrt(2) miles / hour = 28.284 miles / hour
Rectangular coordinates of your position = (30,30)
Polar coordinates of your position=(30*sqrt(2) miles,45°)
Polar coordinates of your position=(30*sqrt(2) miles,Pi/4)</span>
