Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>
Explanation:
The diagram attached sketches the situtation.
Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.
Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:
You have other equation:
Substitute
- 2y + y = 18
- 3y = 18
- y = 18/3
- y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit
Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.
Answer:
y = -1/3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
so y = 3, x = 6, m = -1/3
then 3 = (-1/3)6 + b
3 = -2 + b
b = 5
so y = -1/3x + 5

Answer: B) $1.75</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
To get the unit cost, we divide the total cost over the number of pounds.
We can do this for any row
- row one: ($17.50)/(10) = $1.75
- row two: ($35.00)/(20) = $1.75
- row three: ($52.50)/(30) = $1.75
- row four: ($70.00)/(40) = $1.75
You don't need to show all four row calculations. You can simply pick one row.
This tells us that each pound costs $1.75
Put another way: the price is $1.75 per pound
