Answer:

Will is 34% taller than Wanda, so Will's height is 134% of Wanda's height.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Will is 34% of Wanda's height, we can conclude that he has all of Wanda's height plus 34% of that height. All the height of Wanda represents 100% as it is referring to a complete system. From this we can conclude that Will is 100% more 34% of Wanda's height. Thus we can conclude that if Will is 34% higher than Wanda, then Will's height is 134% (100% + 34%) of Wanda's height.

The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!

A backyard pool has a concrete walkway around it that is 3 feet wide on all sides. The total area of the pool and the walkway is

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$x \approx 21.080\,ft$ , $y = 29.080\,ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the pool and the walkway is:

$(x + 6\,ft)\cdot (y + 6\,ft) = 950\,ft^{2}$

$(x + 6\,ft)\cdot (x + 14\,ft) = 950\,ft^{2}$

$x^{2} + 20\cdot x + 84\,ft^{2} = 950\,ft^{2}$

$x^{2} + 20\cdot x - 866\,ft^{2} = 0$

The roots of the second-order polynomial is:

$x_{1} \approx 21.080\,ft$ and $x_{2} \approx -41.081\,ft$

The only possible root is:

$x \approx 21.080\,ft$

The other dimension of the pool is:

$y = x + 8\,ft$

$y = 21.080\,ft + 8\,ft$

$y = 29.080\,ft$

the empire state building is 1250 feet tall. IF an object is thrown upward from the top of the building at an initial velocity o

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Time for the object to get h(max) s = 1.1875 sec

h (max) = 1272.57 feet

Down time for the object to hit the ground = 4.25 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation

h(s) = - 16*s² + 38* s + 1250 (1)

Is equivalent to the equation for vertical shot

Δh = V(i)*t - 1/2g*t² (in this case we don´t have independent term since the shot is from ground level. We can see in (1), the independent term is 1250 feet ( the height of the empire state building), the starting point of the movement.

The description of the movement is:

V(s) = V(i) - g*s ⇒ V(s) = 38 - 32*s

At h(max) V(s) = 0 38/32 = s

So the maximum height is at s = t = 1.1875 sec

The time for the object to pass for starting point is the same

t = 1.1875 sec

h(max) is

h(max) = - 16* (1.1875)² + 38 (1.1875) + 1250

h(max) = - 22,56 + 45.13 + 1250

h(max) = 1272.57 feet

Time for the object to hit the ground is

h(s) = - 1250 feet

-1250 = - 16 s² + 38*s + 1250

-16s² + 38s = 0

s ( -16s + 38 ) = 0

First solution for that second degree equation is x = 0 which we dismiss

then

( -16s + 38 ) = 0 ⇒ 16s = 38 s = 38/16

s = 2.375 sec and we have to add time between h (max) and to get to starting point ( 1. 1875 sec)

total time is = 2.375 + 1.875

Total time = 4.25 sec

Two cyclists leave city at same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes 3 mph faster than the

Bumek [7]

Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist

So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist

We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$

West-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles

East-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles

On solving,

Distance apart = 162

$\Rightarrow6x+18+6x = 162$

$\Rightarrow12x=162-18$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{144}{12}\rightarrow x=12$

So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be $x+3=12+3=15 \text{ mph}$
