A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 3 feet by 2 feet, 3 feet by 2.5 feet, and 3 feet by 1.5 feet. The 2 triangular sid

es have a base of 2 feet and height of 1.5 feet.
Trenton is building a skateboarding ramp in the shape of a triangular prism. According to his plan, the ramp would have a base of 2 feet, a height of 1.5 feet, and a length of 3 feet. The riding surface would measure 2.5 feet.

If Trenton wants to cover all faces of the ramp with plywood, how much plywood will he need to buy?

Trenton will need
square feet of plywood.

The amount of plywood that he needs to buy will be 21 square feet.

<h3>What is the surface area of the triangular prism?</h3>

Let the prism with a length of L of the rectangular surface.

And the dimension of the triangle is A, B, and C. Then we have

SA = 2(area of triangle) + 3(area of rectangle surface)

A triangular prism.

The rectangular sides are 3 feet by 2 feet, 3 feet by 2.5 feet, and 3 feet by 1.5 feet.

The 2 triangular sides have a base of 2 feet and a height of 1.5 feet.

Then the area of the triangle will be

⇒ 1/2 x 2 x 1.5

⇒ 1.5 square feet

The area of the rectangles will be

⇒ 3 x 2 + 3 x 2.5 + 3 x 1.5

⇒ 18 square feet

Then the surface area of the triangular prism will be

Surface area = 2 x 1.5 + 18

Surface arae = 3 + 18

Surface area = 21 square feet

1. What does it mean for a number to have a variable at the end of it? (i.e 1.6x)

miskamm [114]

Answer:

1. 1.6x has a variable which means an unknown number

2. 5 more than 0.10 times a number

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable is an unknown number represented by a letter. It provides a way to write a relationship in the real world without knowing all the values involved, 1.6x means 1.6 times an unknown number mathematically. A real world example would be a percent growth of 60% on an unknown price - 1.6x.

5 + 0.10x means 5 more than 0.10 times an unknown number. A real world example here would be "10% off a sale plus $5 coupon". We don't know the price of the item but we do know it is 10% off and we get $5 off. Once we know the price we input it int for x and find the total discount.

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared term

satela [25.4K]

$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=a(x-(-4))^2-1\implies y=a(x+4)^2-1
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=0\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies \underline{0}=a(\underline{2}+4)^2-1$

solve for "a"

A bucket that weighs 4 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 60 ft deep. The bucket is f

jonny [76]

Answer:

2580 ft-lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Water leaks out of the bucket at a rate of $\frac{0.15 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{s}}{1.5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}}=0.1 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}$

Work done required to pull the bucket to the top of the well is given by integral

$W=\int_{a}^{b} F(x) dx$

Here, function $F(x)$ is the total weight of the bucket and water $x$ feet above the bottom of the well. That is,

$F(x)=4+(42-0.1 x)$

$=46-0.1x$

$a$ is the initial height and $b$ is the maximum height of well. That is,

$a=0 \text { and } b=60$

Find the work done as,

$W=\int_{a}^{b} F(x) d x$

$=\int_{0}^{60}(46-0.1 x) dx$

$&\left.=46x-0.05 x^{2}\right]_{0}^{60}$

$=(2760-180)-0[$

$=2580 \mathrm{ft}-\mathrm{lb}
$

Hence, the work done required to pull the bucket to the top of the well is $2580 \mathrm{ft}- \mathrm{lb}$
