The 5.25 m combined height of John, Jim, and Joe, the 12 cm height difference between John and Jim and the 0.09 m difference in height between Jim and Joe, indicates that solution to the word problem is Joe was 1.73  meters tall

<h3>What is a word problem?</h3>

A word problem is a presentation of a math problem using verbal description rather than numbers, variables and operators.

The combined height of John, Jim and Joe = 5.25 m

John's height = Jim's height - 12 cm = Jim's height - 0.12

Jim's height = Joe's height + 0.09 m

Let <em>h </em>represent Joe's height, we get;

Jim's height = h + 0.09

John's height = h + 0.09 - 0.12 = h - 0.03

John's height = h - 0.03

The sum of the heights is therefore; h + h + 0.09 + h - 0.03 = 3·h + 0.06

The sum of their heights = Their combined height = 5.25 meters

Therefore; 3·h + 0.06 = 5.25

h = (5.25 - 0.06)/3 = 1.73

Joe's height, <em>h</em> = 1.73 meters

Jim's height = 1.73 + 0.09 = 1.82

Jim's height = 1.82 meters

John's height = 1.73 - 0.03 = 1.7

John's height is 1.7 meters

Joe was 1,73 meters tall

Below is a scale drawing of a stage that Syla is designing. A rectangle with length 8 centimeters and width 5 centimeters. Using
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

<h3>50m</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimension

Length of the rectangle = 8cm

Width = 5cm

Note that when the scale was 1:7, syla multiplied the width by a factor of 7 i.e 5*7 = 35m

If syla changes the the scale to 1 cm : 10 m for the rectangle, then the width of the shorter side will be multiplied by a factor of 10 due to the change in scale i.e;

5 * 10 = 50m

Hence the width of the new stage will be 50 m

Is y proportional to x and y? Why or why not ​
nlexa [21]

Answer:

X is directly proportional to y means the value of x is dependent on the value of y. y may not be dependent on x in this case.

Y is directly proportional to x means the value of y is dependent on the value of x. Same as above, in this case, the value of x may not depend on y.

If you're good at trig please help meeeee
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

x ≈ 77°, y = 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in Δ BCD

\frac{2.9}{sin45} = \frac{4}{sinx} ( cross- multiply )

2.9sinx° = 4sin45° ( divide both sides by 2.9 )

sinx° = \frac{4sin45}{2.9} , thus

x = sin^{-1} (\frac{4sin45}{2.9} ) ≈ 77° ( to the nearest degree )

Since AC and DC are congruent then Δ ACD is isosceles.

Thus the base angles are congruent, that is

∠ ADC = ∠ CAD = y°

x and y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

x + y = 180, that is

77 + y = 180 ( subtract 77 from both sides )

y = 103°
