A landowner wants to find the distance d across a pond. The two overlapping right triangles are similar . Using the measurements shown , what is d?
Answer:
96 m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the two overlapping triangles are similar in the figure.
The landowner wishes to find the distance across the pond. The distance is d.
From the figure, since the two triangles are similar, therefore we can write :
[tex]$\frac{d}{(24+40)}=\frac{60}{40}$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{d}{64}=\frac{60}{40}$[/tex]
[tex]$d = \frac{60}{40} \times 64$[/tex]
[tex]$d = \frac{6}{4} \times 64$[/tex]
d = 6 x 16
= 96 m
Therefore, the distance across the pond is d = 96 m
BONUS 1) You take the Math Time Machine into the past to save Julius Caesar and fix the calendar,
but you miss your timestamp and end up in Alexandria a few years early. You wander around before
ending up in front of the Great Library of Alexandria, which is guarded by a sphinx - known in
mythology for their tricky riddles. When you ask the sphinx what year it is, it refuses to answer
unless you solve a math problem. The sphinx shows you a right triangle with a base of 8 and a height
of 6, which you know has an area of 24. Then it tells you that if you that you can remove some
length x off of the 8 side, but if you do that you must add a rectangle under the 8 side with a height
equal to x, thus creating a trapezoid. How much length must you remove from the 8 side so the
trapezoid has the same area as the original triangle? X = 0 doesn't count.
a) X = 2
b) X = 3
c) X = 4
d) X = 5

A clothing vendor estimates that 78 out of every 100 of its online customers do not live within 50 miles of one of its physical stores. Using this estimate, what is the probability that a randomly selected online customer does not live within 50 miles of a physical store? .78 .50 .28 .22
Answer:
[tex]p' = 0.22[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p = \frac{78}{100}[/tex]
Required
Probability that a [tex]customer[/tex] does [tex]not[/tex] live [tex]within[/tex] [tex]50[/tex] miles
To do this, we make use of complement rule;
Which states that:
[tex]p + p' = 1[/tex]
Make p' the subject
[tex]p' = 1 - p[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]p' = 1 - \frac{78}{100}[/tex]
Express fraction as decimal
[tex]p' = 1 - 0.78[/tex]
[tex]p' = 0.22[/tex]

Answer:
shirts = 15 when pants = 6
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Try two others that are given
shirts / pants = 10 / 4 = 2.5
shirts / pants = 30/12 = 2.5
So shirts/pants = 2.5 = x/6
2.5 = x / 6 Multiply by 6
2.5 * 6 = x
x = 15

The text book store sold a combined total of 326 history and chemistry textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry textbooks sold was 86 less than the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type was sold?
Answer:
The sentence
"The Number of Chem textbooks sold is 86 less than the number of History textbooks"
This seems to be the confusing part.
Now look at it this way...
'If CHM text is 86 less than History text... It also means that History Text is 86 More than CHM'
This expression can be written as
Let History Text be "H"
Let CHM text be "C"
C - 86 = H
or
C=H + 86.......1
First line of this question is interpreted thus
H + C = 326.......2
From eqn 1... C=H+86
Substitute into Eqn 2
H + C=326
H + (H+86)=326
H+H=326-86
2H=240
H=240/2
H=120.
C=H+86
C=120+86
C=206.
This answer is correct... Why?
The key statement says .. The Number of CHM sold is 86 less than History...
Also interpreted as
The Number of CHM – 86 = History
206 - 86 =120.
Have a great day!!!

It’s simple math I’m just confused
Answer:
26 units
Step-by-step explanation:
make a proportion: so sides correspond alongside eachother.
so, 15/10 =24/Y, i know you need to solve for x, but you have to find the other blank length.
now cross multiply, 10*24=15*Y
240=15Y
240/15=
Y= 16
now add Y to the length 10 to get X. So you get 10+16=26

A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months. Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth. Show your work.
please help
Answer:
The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential decay of an amount:
The equation that models an amount after t units of time, subject to exponential decay, is given by:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]
In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months.
This means that [tex]A(15) = 0.3A(0)[/tex]. We use this to find 1 - r.
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]
[tex]0.3A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{15}[/tex]
[tex](1-r)^{15} = 0.3[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt[15]{(1-r)^{15}} = \sqrt[15]{0.3}[/tex]
[tex]1 - r = (0.3)^{\frac{1}{15}}[/tex]
[tex]1 - r = 0.9229[/tex]
So
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]
Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth.
This is t for which A(t) = 0.5A(0). So
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]
[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]
[tex](0.9229)^t = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]\log{(0.9229)^t} = \log{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]t\log{0.9229} = \log{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.9229}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 8.6[/tex]
The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.

Part B: Plot point C(2,7). If M is the midpoint of CD, what are the coordinates of D?
Answer:
[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]C =(2,7)[/tex]
[tex]M=(-1,-1)[/tex]
Required
The coordinates of D
Represent D with:
[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Using midpoint formula, we have:
[tex]M(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](-1,-1) = \frac{1}{2}(2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2
[tex](-2,-2) = (2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]
Compare both sides
[tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex]
[tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex]
In [tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex], we have:
[tex]x_2 =-2-2[/tex]
[tex]x_2 =-4[/tex]
In [tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex], we have:
[tex]y_2 = -2 - 7[/tex]
[tex]y_2 = -9[/tex]
So, the coordinates of D is:
[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]
[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]
