We can find out he answer to the question by using the information given.
Since we know that Death Valley is the lower of the two spots, we can assume that we can add the difference in elevation to Death Valley to get the elevation of Mt Whitney.
-86+4,504=4,418
Th elevation of Mt Whitney is 4,418 meters above ground.
Hope this helps!

What is the arc length of a circle that has a 6-inch radius and a central angle that is 65 degrees? Use 3. 14 for pi and round y
noname [10]
C=2πr

C=2π6

C=<span>37.6991118431

That's the arc length of the whole circle, i.e. the arc length of 360°.

65° is 18.055555555555555555555555555556% of 360°, (65/360*100)
so 18.055555555555555555555555555556% of 37.6991118431 is 
6.8067840827819444444444444444444.  Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 6.81 inches.

That's real pi, lets see if it makes a difference to use "stupid pi".

C=2πr

C=2π6

C=37.68

That's the arc length of the whole circle, i.e. the arc length of 360°.

65° is 18.055555555555555555555555555556% of 360°, (65/360*100)
so 18.055555555555555555555555555556% of 37.68 is 
6.803333333333333333333333.  Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 6.80 inches.
Yep makes a difference.  That's why you don't use stupid pi.  3.14159 is what we always used in engineering, or just the pi button and using a ton of digits.

Answer: 6.80 inches.

For the polynomial 6xy2 – 5x2y? + 9x2 to be a trinomial with a degree of 3 after it has been fully simplified, the missing expon
Karolina [17]

Consider the polynomial 6xy^2-5x^2y^?+9x^2.

For this polynomial to be trinomial with a degree of 3. We have to identify the missing exponent of the 'y' term.

Let the missing exponent of the 'y' term be 0

So, the polynomial will be 6xy^2-5x^2y^0+9x^2

= 6xy^2-5x^2+9x^2

= 6xy^2+4x^2 which is not a trinomial, which is a binomial.

So, the missing exponent of 'y' can'not be zero.

Let the missing exponent of the 'y' term be 2

So, the polynomial will be 6xy^2-5x^2y^2+9x^2

= 6xy^2-5x^2y^2+9x^2

= 6xy^2-5x^2y^2+9x^2 which is a trinomial of degree 4.

So, the missing exponent of 'y' can'not be '2'.

If we will take the missing exponent of 'y' more than 2, than the degree of the given polynomial will not be 3 anymore.

Let the missing exponent of the 'y' term be 1

So, the polynomial will be 6xy^2-5x^2y^1+9x^2

= 6xy^2-5x^2y+9x^2

= 6xy^2+4x^2 which is a trinomial of degree 3

So, the missing exponent of 'y' is 1.

What is the hypotenuse of an triangle with sides 6 and 8 and angles 30 and 60 degrees?
klemol [59]
Hypotenuse ^2 = base^2 + perpendicular ^2

H^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
H^2 = 36 + 64
H^2 = 100
H = 10

(This is a right angle triangle as 60+30= 90
180-90= 90)

The length of a rectangle is 5 ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50 ft². Find the dimensions
Mariulka [41]

Answer

Length = 10 ft

Width = 5 ft

Explanation

Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²

Let the width of the rectangle be x

So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5

What to find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step solution:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

i.e A = L x W

Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

\begin{gathered} 50=(3x-5)x \\ 50=3x^2-5x \\ 3x^2-5x-50=0 \end{gathered}

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

\begin{gathered} 3x^2-5x-50=0 \\ 3x^2-15x+10x-50=0 \\ 3x(x-5)+10(x-5)=0 \\ (3x+10)(x-5)=0 \\ 3x+10=0\text{ }or\text{ }x-5=0 \\ 3x=-10\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \\ x=-\frac{10}{3}\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \end{gathered}

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:

\begin{gathered} Length=3x-5=3(5)-5=15-5=10\text{ }ft \\  \\ Width=x=5\text{ }ft \end{gathered}
