Answer:

<u>The correct answer is C. 14.6 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given to solve the case:

Length of the ladder = 15 feet

Distance from the base of the wall = 3.5 feet

Using the Pythagorean theorem for finding the height, because this is a right triangle:

h² = Length of the ladder ² - Distance from the base of the wall ²

h² = 15 ²  - 3.5 ²

h² = 225  - 12.25

h² = 212.75

h = √ 212.75

h = 14.59

<u>h = 14.6 feet (Rounding to one decimal place)</u>

Since you know that the hose will fill the whole pool in 8 minutes you know it will fill 1/8 of the pool per minute. In 5 minutes it will fill up 5/8 of the pool. This will make your equation 5/8 +5r=1. Solving for r will give you 3 parts/40 minutes

The table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x . Which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by (x,
lawyer [7]

The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:

(8, 20).

Explanation:

We can substitute the values for x in the equation and see if they equal y:

y=16+0.5(0) = 16+0 = 16 ≠ 18. This is not the correct option.

y=16+0.5(5) = 16+2.5 = 18.5 ≠ 19.5. This is not the correct option.

y=16+0.5(8) = 16+4 = 20. This is the correct option.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

245000 last year

This year 25235

(y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)  

(( £25.235 - £24.500) / £24.500) * 100 = 0 %

There ain't no percentage change as there needs to be a bigger difference between the two numbers plus u should use the formula

wariber [46]
Given:
standard deviation = 4.3%
sample size = 15
mean = 26.4%

error = σ/√n

error = 4.3% / √15

error = 4.3% / 3.873

error = 0.0111

0.0111 x 100% = 1.11%

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen gathred a total of 37 mushroons in three hours. On the first hour she gathered "x" mushroons, on the second hour she gathered "x + 7" mushroons and on the third hour she gathered "x + 6". Therefore the sum of mushrrons she gathered on each hour should be equal to the total she gathered as shown below:

37 = x + (x+ 7) + (x + 6)

37 = 3*x + 13

3*x + 13 = 37

3*x = 37 - 13

3*x = 24

x = 24 / 3

x = 8

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.
