Answer:

2/3rds of liad's run

Step-by-step explanation:

3 min 45s = 3 3/4 min = 15/4 min; 10/(15/4) = 8/3 laps

2min 30s = 2 1/2 min = 5/2 min; 10/(5/2) = 4 laps

(8/3)/4 = 2/3

A square with a side length of x+6 has the same perimeter as an equilateral triangle with a side length of 4 x what is the area

prohojiy [21]

The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 3s and s=4x so the perimeter is:

12x

And we are told that the perimeter of the square is the same. And that perimeter is 4s where s=(x+6) so that perimeter is equal to

4x+24, and again, we are told that these two values are equal so we can solve for x...

12x=4x+24

8x=24

x=3 and if x=3 then the side length is (x+6)=9

So the area of the square is always A=s^2 and s=9 thus:

A=9^2

A=81 u^2

Find two positive numbers whose difference is 30 and whose product is 2584.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$38$ and $68$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the smaller one of the two number.

$x$ must be a positive integer. The other number would be $(x + 30)$ .

The question states that the product of the two numbers is $2584$ . In other words:

$x\, (x + 30) = 2584$ .

Rearrange this equation and solve for $x$ :

$x^{2} + 30\, x - 2584 = 0$ .

The first root of this quadratic equation would be:

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{900 + 10336}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{11236}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30)}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{11236}{2^{2}}} \\ &= (-15) + \sqrt{2809} \\ &= (-15) + 53 \\ &= 38 \end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, the second root of this quadratic equation would be:

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) - \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= (-15) - 53 \\ &= -68\end{aligned}$ .

Since the question requires that both numbers should be positive, $x > 0$ . Therefore, only $x = 38$ is valid.

Hence, the two numbers would be $38$ and $(38 + 30)$ , which is $68$ .

What is 1 /7 as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to convert 1/7 to have a denominator of either 100 or 10. We can do 100.

1/7 = ?/100

then you need to divide 100/7 to find the scale factor which in this case is 14.286

then you can insert it into the equation

1/7 = 1 * 14.286/100

you end up with

14.286/100

then you can dived the two

0.14286 is what you end up with

but since it says rounded to the 3rd decimal place you go to the 3rd which is 2.

To round it you look at the 4th number which is 8.

<em>5 and above give it a shove up</em>

So now its 0.143

Hope this helped :)

The cup, on the 9th hole of a golf course, is located, dead center, in the middle of a circular green, which is 35 feet in radiu

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft
