For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55

For this case we have the following system of equations:
 Equilibrium equation:
 60 * d1 = 50 * d2
 Total distance:
 d1 + d2 = 12
 Solving the equations we have:
 d1 = 5.45 feet
 d2 = 6.55 feet
 Answer:
 
the distances d1 and d2 have to be:
 d1 = 5.45 feet
 d2 = 6.55 feet

Answer:according to the formula of inscribed angle theorem

3x + 22 =  \frac{1}{2 }  \times 134

3x + 22 = 67

3x = 67 - 22

3x = 45

x =  \frac{45}{3}

x = 15

The answer is 15 degrees

Colin buys a tv for £530. It depreciates at a rate of 3% per year. How much will it be worth in 5 years? Give your answer to the
rodikova [14]

Answer: In 5 years it will be worth £455

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given

The cost of the T.V. for Colin = £530.

The rate of depreciation per year = 3%

Time/ period = 5 years

Formulae to be used

F = P  X (1 - r) ^ n

where

F = the future value after depreciation

P = the present value.

r =the interest rate per time period

n = the time/ periods

Step 2--- SOLVING

F = P  X (1- r) ^ n

F= 530 x (1-0.03) ^ 5

=530 x 0.858734

=£455.129

Rounding up to the nearest penny where appropriate = £455
