Before rock climbing, Michelle wants to know how
high she will climb. She places a mirror on the
ground and walks backward until she can see the
top of the cliff in the mirror. She drew a sketch of
the situation. What is the height of the cliff?
Answers
Answer:
22 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached :
We have two similar triangles which can be related proportionally :
Hence ;
Mitchell's height / distance from mirror = cliff height / cliff distance
Michelle's height = 5.5
Michell's distance from mirror = 4
Cliff height = h
Cliff distance from mirror = 16
We have ;
5.5 / 4 = h / 16
Cross multiply :
4 * h = 5.5 * 16
h = 88 / 4
h = 22 feets

A triangular pyramid has lateral faces with bases of 8 meters and heights of 10
meters. The area of the base of the pyramid is 27.7 square meters.
What is the surface area of the pyramid?
The surface area of the pyramid is
square meters.
Answers
Answer:
147.7 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the triangular faces = 1/2 × base × height
A triangular pyramid has lateral faces with bases of 8 meters and heights of 10 meters.
Hence: 1/2 × 8 × 10 = 40 m²
A triangle has 3 faces, hence, area of the 3 faces = 3 × 40 m²
= 120m²
The area of the base of the pyramid is 27.7 square meters.
Hence, the surface area of the pyramid is calculated as:
Area of the 3 lateral faces of the pyramid + Base area
= 120m² + 27.7 m²
= 147.7 m²
The surface area of the pyramid is 147.7 square meters.
A hardware store has one basket with 40 pairs of slip-joint pliers. 5 of the 40 pairs are 6-inch slip-joint pliers. A second basket contains 20 rubber mallets. 3 of the 20 rubber mallets are small rubber mallets. What is the probability of picking a pair of 6-inch slip-joint pliers and not drawing a small rubber mallet?
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\frac{85}{800}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{17}{160}[/tex] simplified
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the probability of this sequence of events happening we first need to find the probability of each event happening seperately and then multiply them together.
If there are 40 slip-joint pliers and only 5 are 6-inch then the probability of picking a 6-inch plier is 5/40. If there are a total of 20 rubber malets and only 3 are small then the probability of picking a non-small rubber mallet would be 17/20... Now we simply multiply these two probabilities together...
[tex]\frac{5 *17}{40 * 20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{85}{800}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{17}{160}[/tex] simplified

Find all values of for which the rocket's height is 92 feet.
Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.
(If there is more than one answer, use the "or" button.)
Answers
Answer:
0.51 and 11.24 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height h of a rocket with an initial upward velocity of 188 feet per second after t seconds is modeled by the function:
[tex]h(t)=188t-16t^2[/tex]
And we want to find all values of t for which the rocket's height is 92.
So, we can set h(t) = 92 and solve for t:
[tex]92=188t-16t^2[/tex]
We can divide everything by four:
[tex]23=47t-4t^2[/tex]
Rearrange the equation:
[tex]4t^2-47t+23=0[/tex]
We can use the quadratic formula:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
In this case, a = 4, b = -47, and c = 23. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-47)\pm\sqrt{(-47)^2-4(4)(23)}}{2(4)}[/tex]
Evaluate:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{47\pm\sqrt{1841}}{8}[/tex]
Hence, our two solutions are:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{47+\sqrt{1841}}{8}\approx 11.24\text{ or } x=\frac{47-\sqrt{1841}}{8}\approx0.51[/tex]
So, the rocket reaches a height of 92 feet after 0.51 seconds and again after 11.24 seconds.

Answers
Answer:
192 unit³
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of unit cones required t make a rectangular prism of the dimension given is obtained by calculating the volume of the rectangular prism:
Height, h = 8 unit³
Width, w = 4 unit³
Length = 6 unit³
The volume of the rectangular Prism is given as :
Volume = Length * width * height
Volume = (6 * 4 * 8) unit³
