Given :
Initial length of electric cable needed,
.
Later, Sally is told that the homeowner has decide to cut back from a three-car garage to a two-car garage, which will eliminate two branch circuits, one of 23 feet and the other of 34 feet.
To Find :
How many feet of wire will be needed now.
Solution :
Wire needed is given by :
Required = Total wire - ( length of 1nd branch + length of 2nd branch )
Required = 550 - ( 23 + 34 )
Required = 550 - ( 57 ) ft
Required = 443 ft
Therefore, length of wire required is 443 ft.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Make each known side into a ratio like so...
75/6
(Because 75 is the shadow casted by the building, and 6 is the shadow casted by sarah)
and 50/x
(50 is how tall the building is and sarah's height is what needs to be found)
Therefore,
75 50
---- -----
6 x
Do cross products;
50 x 6 = 75 x X
300 = 75x
Divide by 75
x = 4ft
Answer:
874.6
Step-by-step explanation
Profit = Sales - Costs
Profits by day:
Mon:
225 - (225*0.12) -9 = 189.0
Tue
260 - (260*0.12) -9 = 219.9
Wed
230 - (230*0.12)-9 = 193.4
Thu
180 - (180*0.12) - 9 = 149.4
Fri
150 - (150*0.12) -9 = 123.0
Total:
189+219.9+193.4+149.4+123 = 874.6
3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
x-axis, y=0. 3x = 18
x = 6
The x-intercept is (6, 0) .
3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
y-axis, x=0. - 2y = 18
y = -9
The y-intercept is (0, -9) .
