Five days a week, you carpool with 3 co-workers and take turns driving each week. It is 14 miles from your home to your office.

When you drive the carpool you must go an extra 4 miles to pick up your co-workers. If your car averages 18 miles per gallon, about how many gallons of gas should you save every 4 weeks by carpooling?

Answer:

I will save 21.11 gallons in 4 weeks of car pooling.

Step-by-step explanation:

If i have to go office alone then in 4 weeks i will be driving my car = 2×distance from office to home×number of days = 2×14×(4×5) = 28×20 = 560 km.

Now when i carpool with 3 co-workers then i have to drive my car only for 1 week out of 4 weeks.

Means i will be driving total distance = 2× ( distance form office to home + addition distance to pickup co-workers) × number of days

= 2 × (14+4) × 5= 180 km

Now the distance I drove less in 4 weeks = 560 - 180 = 380 km

My car averages 18 miles per gallon gas.

Therefore amount of gas I saved in 4 weeks = 380/18 = 21.11 gallons

. A triangle has side lengths of 8, 7, and 14. To the nearest tenth of a degree find the measure of the angle opposite the side
4vir4ik [10]

Given:

The measure of three sides of a triangle are 8, 7 and 14.

To find:

The measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosine:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Let a=8, b=7 and c=14, then by using Law of Cosine, we get

\cos A=\dfrac{7^2+14^2-8^2}{2(7)(14)}

\cos A=\dfrac{49+196-64}{196}

\cos A=\dfrac{181}{196}

Taking cos inverse on both sides.

A=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{181}{196}

A=22.561328

A\approx 22.6

Therefore, the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8 is 22.6 degrees.

From the top of a 100-ft building a man
romanna [79]

Answer:

219m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the man observes the car with angle 15 before observing in 33 degrees.

For the first observation

The angle observation gives an angle if 33 degrees with the horizontal.

It gives a triangle which I'll attach to the que,

from the first triangle

Tan 33 = 100/y

Y= 100/ tan 33

Y = 153.99m.

This is the distance from the building to the distance where it was secondly observed( 33).

To find x

tan 15 = 100/(153.99+x)

153.99 + x = 100/ tan 15

153.99 + x = 373.21

The distance between the two observed angles

X= 219m.
