Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The eastbound car has traveled a distance of 5 miles and if a straight line is drawn between the two car's positions it would measure 8 miles.

This forms a triangle which has a hypotenuse measuring 8 miles while one of the other sides measures 5 miles.

Assume the distance traveled by the northbound car is x miles.

Step 2:

So the northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.244 miles. Rounding this off, we get 6.2 miles.

Sandra has a cylindrical mold for making candles with a radius of 3.4 cm and a height of 6 cm. If Sandra uses a rectangular bloc

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$14\ candles$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cylindrical mold

The volume is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=3.4\ cm$

$h=6\ cm$

assume

$\pi=3.14$

substitute

$V=(3.14)(3.4)^{2}(6)$

$V=217.79\ cm^{3}$

step 2

Find the volume of the wax

The volume is equal to

$V=(15)(12)(18)$

$V=3,240\ cm^{3}$

step 3

Divide the volume of the wax by the volume of the cylindrical mold, to calculate the number of candles

$3,240/217.79=14.9\ candles$

Round down

$14\ candles$

Answer:

2.25 seconds

87 feet

[6, 87]

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a projectile is:

h(t) = -16t² + vt + s

where v is the initial vertical velocity and s is the initial height.

Here, v = 72 and s = 6.

h(t) = -16t² + 72t + 6

This is a downwards parabola. The maximum is at the vertex.

t = -b / (2a)

t = -72 / (2×-16)

t = 2.25

h(2.25) = 87

It takes 2.25 seconds to reach the maximum height of 87 feet.

The range is from the lowest height (6 feet) to the maximum height (87 feet). In interval notation:
