We can solve this by using the  P<span>ythagorean theorem which is below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Or we can say
</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
<span>w = widht
h = height
d = diagonal measure


With that said, we know the height is .75 times the width so .75w. We also know d = 34, which is our diagonal measure.
w = don't know yet but need to find
h = .75w
d = 34
Now lets plugin the information we know into our equation

</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
Now lets to the math
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 1156
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
Combine like terms
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
1.5625w^2 = 1156
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 1.5625
\frac{1.5625w^2}{1.5625} = \frac{1156}{1.5625}
w^2 = 739.84
Now take the square root on both sides of the equal sign
\sqrt{w^2} = \sqrt{739.84}
w = 27.2

So the width is 27.2
We can check this by putting 27.2 back into our original equation
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
27.2^2 + (.75\times 27.2)^2 = 34^2

the diameter D of a sphere is 13m calculate the sphere volume V use the value 3.14 round your answer to the nearest tenth
fgiga [73]

Answer:

1149.8 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V = \frac{4}{3}πr³ ( r is the radius )

Here diameter = 13, thus radius = 13 ÷ 2 = 6.5

V = \frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × 6.5³

   = \frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × 274.625

   = \frac{4(3.14)(274.625)}{3} ≈ 1149.8 m³ ( to the nearest tenth )

Rob is travelling at a constant speed in a car. He travels 105km in 1 hour and 30 minutes. The speed limit is 80km/h. Is Rob tra
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert his speed to km/h.

\frac{105km}{1.5h}  = 70\frac{km}{h} > 80\frac{km}{h}. Therefore, Rob is traveling within the speed limit.
