ratelena [41]

Answer:

She used 6.825 pints of withe paint to paint her bedroom walls

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Cathy used 9.1 pints of paint and 1/4 is blue.

first we have to calculate the white paint, we are going to calculate it by subtracting 1/4 of the total paint

1 - 1/4 = 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4

Now that we know that 3/4 of the total paint is white, we have to multiply it by the amount of paint so we get how many pints of paint are white

3/4 * 9.1 = 6.825

She used 6.825 pints of withe paint to paint her bedroom walls

2. A spy uses a telescope to track a rocket launched vertically from a launch pad 6 km away. The rocket travels upwards at a vel
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The rate of change in distance between the spy and the rocket is 10.8 km/min,

or about 180 m/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

At "Time=0" the rocket is 6km from the spy.

The rocket travels vertically 8km in about 0.37 minutes, calculated by 8km÷21.6km/min.

At that point, the rocket is 10 km from the spy., calculated by 6²+8²=10²

The difference is 4 kiilometers over 0.37minutes, about 22.2 seconds

Divide Distance by Time to get Rate:

4km/0.37min = 10.8 km/min

That is about 180 meters per second.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Approximately 8.49 feet

==================================================

Explanation:

Draw a right triangle. The reference angle is between the ground and the kite string (aka hypotenuse). The hypotenuse is 12 and the side opposite the reference angle is x.

Refer to the diagram below.

We'll use the sine rule to find x

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(45) = x/12

12*sin(45) = x

x = 12*sin(45)

x = 8.48528137423857

x = 8.49

This value is approximate.

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

I rounded to 2 decimal places, but feel free to round however you need if your teacher instructs otherwise.
