Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
4² + b² = 8.5²
16 + b² = 72.25
        b² = 56.25
        b = 7.5

 The ladder reaches a height of 7.5 ft on the wall

No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3

Write a decimal that the model represents
anastassius [24]

Answer:

<em>number = 0.011</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Decimal Representation</u>

The model is shown in the figure. It has a form of a cube where each face is divided into 10 equal squares, forming a 10x10x10=1,000 smaller cubes piece.

Out of that 1,000 cubes, only 11 are shaded. This leaves us to think the decimal represented by the model is the division between the shaded cubes by the total cubes, thus:

number= \frac{11}{1,000}

Dividing:

number = 0.011

A blimp is flying at a speed of 40mph and going in a direction of 80 degrees. After 3 hours of flying it turns and travels 1 hou
kykrilka [37]

Bearing is a topic that can be used to <u>locate</u> the <em>position</em> of an object at a given time. Therefore, the blimp is <em>80 m</em> far away from its <u>starting</u> point. And in the<em> North-East </em>direction.

The <u>speed</u> of an object relates the <em>distance</em> it covers to the <u>time taken</u> to cover the said distance.

i.e speed = \frac{distance}{time taken}

⇒ distance = speed x time taken

In the given question, the <u>initial</u> distance covered can be determined as;

distance = 40 mph x 3 h

              = 120 m

The<u> final </u>distance covered can be determined as;

distance = 40 mph x 1 h

              = 40 m

Let the <u>distance</u> from its <em>starting</em> point to its <em>fina</em>l location be represented by x.

Thus applying the<em> Cosine rule</em>, we have:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abCos C

x^{2} = 120^{2} + 40^{2} - 2(120 x 40) Cos 90

   = 14400 + 1600 - 9600

x^{2} = 16000 - 9600

   = 6400

x = \sqrt{6400}

 = 80

x = 80 m

Therefore, the <u>distance</u> of the blimp from its <em>starting</em> point to its <em>final</em> destination is <u>80 m</u>.
