Answer:

Option C - 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base is a square and it has an area of 576 sq.units, thus, if the side length of the base is x, then;

x² = 576

x = √576

x = 24

To get the height, we will divide this side length by 2 and use Pythagoreas Theorem.

Since, we are told that the pyramid has a slant height of 20 units,

So using pythagoras theorem, we can find the height of the pyramid as;

h² = 20² - (24/2)²

h² = 400 - 144

h² = 256

h = √256

h = 16 units

a 1 kg ball has 10 joules of kinetic energy and starts to roll up a hill how far up the hill will it be when it stops
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<em>The ball will roll upto </em><em>1 m.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A 1 kg ball has 10 joules of kinetic energy and starts to roll up a hill.

As along the hill the ball rises up, it loses its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy plus the potential energy equals a constant.

Here given kinetic energy as 10 J, so this energy will get converted to potential energy.

We know that, potential energy is

P.E=m\cdot g\cdot h

where,

m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow 10=1\times 10\times h

\Rightarrow 10=10 h

\Rightarrow h=1\ m

What is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? $280 in 7m
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The ratio between two values A and B is just the quotient between these two values:

ratio = A/B

a) $280 in 7m

Here the ratio is:

$280/7m = $40/m

This also can be read as:

$40 per meter.

b) 105 miles in 2 hours

Here the ratio is:

105mi/2h = 52.5 mi/h

This also can be read as:

52.5 miles per hour

c) $33 for 5lb

The ratio is:

$33/5lb = $6.6/lb

This can be read as:

$6.6 per pound.

d) 50 pages in 2 hours

the ratio is:

(50 pages)/2h = 25 pages/h

this can be read as:

25 pages per hour.

andres has 10 more goldfish than todd. Together,they have 50 goldfish.How many goldfish does each boy have?
Dmitry [639]
Let's go ahead and construct an equation to show this. Together, they have 50 goldfish. This can be represented as =50. 

Since we don't know how many Todd has, we're going to make a variable. We'll name it T, for Todd.

What about Andres? How many does he have? 10 more than Todd. Well, if Todd's amount is T, and Andres has 10 more, we can express that as T+10.

Now, just put the two pieces together! T+10=50. 

The next step is inverse operations. You want to find out how many T is, so you need to get rid of the 10. To take 10 away from something is doing what? Subtraction! Be warned, though; whatever you do to one side of the problem, you have to do to the other. 10-10 is 0, and 50-10 is 40. Since we took the 10 away and 50 is now 40, what you're left with is T=40.

Wait a second.. wasn't "T" Todd's amount? Yep! That means that Todd has 40 goldfish. And we already know that Andres has 10, so there's your answer!
