Hey there! :D

Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base. 

The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse. 

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+40^2= c^2 

225+1,600= c^2

Add the values together. 

1,825= c^2

Find the square root of 1,825. 

c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth) 

The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.

I hope this helps!

Tobi Foods grocery began the year with 300 boxes of cookies with a unit cost of $1.89. During the year, the following additional
Flura [38]

we know that

The first-in-first-out method (FIFO), states that the earliest costs (first costs) are assigned to cost of goods sold and the remaining costs (the more recent costs) are assigned to ending inventory.

The FIFO method assumes that the earliest-goods purchased are sold first.

so

in this problem

<u>Part a) </u>cost of ending inventory

<u>Find the total cost</u>

Total cost=200*$2.1+400*$2.2+250*$2.4=$1,900

<u>Find the cost of ending inventory</u>

475-250=225 boxes

Cost of ending inventory=225*$2.20+250*$2.40=$1,095

therefore

<u>the answer Part a) is</u>

The cost of ending inventory is $1,095

<u>Part b</u>) cost of goods sold

we know that

The cost of goods sold is equal to the total cost minus the cost of ending inventory

so

cost of goods sold=$1,900-$1,095=$805

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

The cost of goods sold is $805

SVEN [57.7K]
The numbers in order are
3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 8

The median is the number in the middle, which is 5.
The range is the largest number minus the smallest number, 8 - 3 = 5
The mean is the sum of all the numbers divided by how many number are the in the list, 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 46, 46/9 = 5.11

No. A square has equal sides that are perpendicular and parallel. I'm guessing this room resembles some other figure.

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large
sergey [27]

Answer:

R = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a spherical shape is given by :

A=4\pi r^2

Where

r is the radius of the sphere

ATQ,

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large bubble.

The radius of each small bubble is 5 cm

Using the given condition,

4\pi R^2=4\times (4\pi r^2)\\\\R^2=4r^2\\\\R=\sqrt{4r^2} \\\\R=2r\\\\R=2\times 5\\\\R=10\ cm

So, the radius of the large bubble is equal to 10 cm.
