Jim is designing a seesaw for a children's park. The seesaw should make an angle of 30° with the ground, and the maximum height

to which it should rise is 1 meter, as shown below:
A seesaw is shown with one end on the ground and the other in the air. The seesaw makes an angle of 30 degrees with the ground. The height of the seesaw from the ground, at the other end, is labeled 1 meter.

What is the maximum length of the seesaw?

Using the slope concept, it is found that the maximum length of the seesaw is of 1.73 meters.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem:

  • The vertical change is of 1 m.
  • The horizontal change is the length l.
  • The angle is of 30º.

Hence:

tan(30º) = 1/l

l = 1/tan(30º)

l = 1.73.

how can i find a percentage if its not over 100? For example the fraction 4/25, how i could i turn that into a percent
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to find percent you would simplify that fraction so that it’s a decimal (0.16) and multiply by 100 (16) and add a percent symbol so it would be 16%

basically the equation for finding percent would be

(x/y)100

HELP,ME PLEASE IM RLLY CONFUSED ON THIS ONE,THANKS IN ADVANCED
klio [65]

We can notice that : Line Passes through the Points  (1 , 2) and (4 , -4)

Let us find the slope of the line in order to write the Equation of the Line.

Slope of a Line Passing through two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) is given by :

\heartsuit\;Slope(m) = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}

Points are (1 , 2) and (4 , -4)

here x₁ = 1 and x₂ = 4 and y₁ = 2 and y₂ = -4

\heartsuit\;Slope(m) = \frac{2 + 4}{1 - 4} = \frac{6}{-3} = -2

Equation of the Line passing through (1 , 2) and having slope -2 is :

⇒ y - 2 = -2(x - 1)

⇒ y = -2x + 2 + 2

⇒ y = -2x + 4

In recent years, the number of people in a certain country who are 100 years old or older can be estimated by the function
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

See below for answers

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Substitute t=2015 into the function:

p(t) = 1.32t - 2589.6

p(2015) = 1.32(2015) - 2589.6

p(2015) = 2659.8 - 2589.6

p(2015) = 70.2

So, there will be 70,200 people in 2015 who will be 100 years or older.

Substitute t=2025 into the function:

p(t) = 1.32t - 2589.6

p(2025) = 1.32(2025) - 2589.6

p(2025) = 2673 - 2589.6

p(2025) = 83.4

So, there will be 83,400 people in 2025 who will be 100 years or older.

(b) Substitute p(t)=100 into the function and solve for t:

p(t) = 1.32t - 2589.6

100 = 1.32t - 2589.6

2689.6 = 1.32t

2037.57 = t

2038 = t

Therefore, the number of people 100 years or older will reach 100,000 by 2038.
