Hi i have an idea make a pattern to organize the shoes
If Melody used the table and still made a mistake, you can
imagine how badly we'll do if we can't even SEE the table.
As there are multiple answers going with trial and error seems good in this case.
A
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
20.00 + 31.5 = 51.5
B
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 35.00
20.00 + 35.00 = 55.00
C
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 15.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
15.00 + 31.5 =46.5
Knowing that for the first one all A,B, and C were wrong we can determine that D is the answer. But wait if I made one mistake and didn't understand if $156.5 is equivalent to $156.50 that would mean A is correct.
Always recheck your answers and good luck,
Jon
Radius: r=18 feet
Cental Angle: A=44°
Each cycle (one back and forth) lasts 12 seconds
In each cycle the pendulum swings:
L=(A/360°) 2 pi r
L=(44°/360°)(2)(3.141592654)(18 feet)
L=(0.122222222)(113.0973355 feet)
L=13.82300764 feet
Rounded to 3 decimal places:
L=13.823 feet
Each minute (60 seconds) the pendulum makes:
Number of cycles: n=(60 seconds) / (12 seconds)→n=5 cycles
Then, each minute, the pendulum swings:
T=nL=5(13.823 feet)→T=69.115 feet
Answer: Each minute, the pendulum swings 69.115 feet.
