Using a 10' long piece of strut as a straightedge, you are trying to determine the outside diameter of a grain storage silo. You

and your partner very carefully measure from the ends of the straightedge, squarely, in to the wall of the silo and find that the “H” distance is 14 3/4" at both ends. What is the radius of the silo in inches? Note: The values calculated for this question may be used for additional questions. (Round the answer to the nearest 1/8".)

The radius of the silo is the distance from its center to the outside wall

The radius of the silo is 7 3/8" or 7 3/8 inches

<h3>How to determine the radius?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

  • Length of strut = 10'
  • Outside diameter of silo = 14 3/4"

The radius is then calculated as:

Radius = 0.5 * Diameter

This gives

Radius = 0.5 * 14 3/4"

Evaluate the product

Radius = 7 3/8"

Hence, the radius of the silo is 7 3/8" or 7 3/8 inches

Mitra created a mosaic design using square 2x2 cm white tiles and 2x3 cm rectangular centimeter black tiles. She used twice as m
zvonat [6]

Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of white tiles and y represent the number of black tiles.

Area of white tiles = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm²

Area of black tiles = 2 cm * 3 cm = 6 cm²

She used twice as many white tiles as black tiles. Hence:

x = 2y   (1)

Also, the finished pattern was 1092 square centimeters in area. Hence:

4x + 6y = 1092   (2)

From both equations:

x = 156, y = 78

Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²

Help please urgent 25 point
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

b = the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle

a = the adjacent side.

R is being defined by the cosine

cos(R) = adjacent /  hypotenuse

adjacent = 16* sqrt(2)

hypotenuse = 32*sqrt(2)

Cos(R) = 16*sqrt(2) / 32*sqrt(2)      sqrt(2) cancels.

cos(R) = 1/2

R = cos-1(1/2)

R = 60 degrees.

MrRissso [65]

The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van)  = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years)  = 41 years

or, 2 S +  17 = 41

or, 2 S  = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S  = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S  = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = S  + 17  = 12 + 17 = 29 years

Tori examined the pattern of exponents in the table.
gregori [183]

Answer:

The value of b = 1/36

As exponent decreases, each previous value is divided by 6

If the table was extended, the value of 6^-3 would be 1/216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a table containing power of 6

We will use negative rule of exponent to write the equivalent of negative power of 6

b^{-n}= 1 / b^{n}

we know that

6^{1}=6

so

6^{-1} =\frac{1}{6^{1} }

= 1/6

and

6^{2} = 36

So,

6^{-2} = \frac{1}{6^{2} }

=

\frac{1}{36}
