Answer:

Hence the number in decimal is:

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

The top 1/8 of the runners advance to the finals for the track and field competition.

We are asked to find the decimal value of the number i.e. we have to represent 1/8 in the decimal value.

on dividing the number 1 ( which is in numerator) by 8 ( which is in denominator) we obtain:

\dfrac{1}{8}=0.125

Hence the number in decimal is:

0.125

What is the scale factor from L to S?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: While I don’t have the picture to actually know the answer I will explain how to get it.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the shapes are on a grid count the amount of grid squares that are located between each end point of the shape. If it’s not on a grid use a ruler to measure the side lengths. You will need to find out the side amounts for both shapes L and S.

2. From there if the L shape is SMALLER than the S shape, then take the S shape’s sides and divide it by the L shape’s sides, and whatever number you get from each of your division problems will be your scale factor. BUT If the L shape is BIGGER than the S shape then easiest way to find out your scale factor is to take the last scale factor you got and convert it into a fraction. For example, if you got 3 then it would be 1/3. Hope this helped!

guapka [62]

Answer: 27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A squared + B squared = C squared 22 is A squared and 16 is B squared and C squared is the hypotenuse and that is what we are figuring out

22squared= 484 and 16 squared=256 484+256=740 and 27.2 squared is 740 I hope this helps

Kipish [7]

Answer:

a. 80.83 ft b. 40.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height of pole = 70 ft, L = length of cable and x = distance of cable on ground to pole and Ф = angle between cable and ground.

a) How long is the cable?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and L being the hypotenuse side, by trigonometric ratios,

sinФ = h/L

L = h/sinФ

L = 70 ft/sin60°

L = 70 ft/0.8660

L = 80.83 ft

b) How far from the pole should the cable be attached to the ground?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and x being the adjacent side, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

x = h/tanФ

x = 70 ft/tan60°

x = 70 ft/1.7321

x = 40.42 ft
