Answer:

D. 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BAC is similar to triangle DEC, so you can set up a ratio:

$\frac{84}{156-x} = \frac{7}{x}$

Then cross multiply

84x = 7 (156 - x)

84x = 1092 - 7x

Add 7x to both sides.

91x = 1092

Divide both sides by 91.

x = 12

AC = 156 - x

AC = 156 - 12

AC = 144

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CE}{CA}$ = $\frac{ED}{AB}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{156-x}$ = $\frac{7}{84}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ ( cross- multiply )

12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )

13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 12

Thus

AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D

5 more than b divided by 2 is 5

gayaneshka [121]

We have an equation: (5+b)/2= 5
⇒ 5+b= 5*2
⇒ 5+b= 10
⇒ b= 10-5
⇒ b= 5

Final answer: b=5~

Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 6800.0 cubic centimeters per min at the same time that water is be

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

6.82 $mt^3/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

By congruence of triangles, the radius r of the cone base when its height is 1 meter satisfies the relation

r/1 = 2.5/6

(See picture attached)

So, r = 0.4166 meters when the water is 1 meter high.

The volume of a cone with radius of the base = R is given by

$V=\frac{\pi R^2h}{3}$

So, the volume of water when it is 1 meter high is

$V=\frac{\pi* 0.(4166)^2}{3}=0.1817\;mt^3$

One minute later, the height of the water is 1 meter + 30 centimeters = 1.30 mt

The radius now satisfies

r/1.3 = 2.5/6

and now the radius of the base is

r = 0.5416 mt

and the new volume of water is $0.3071\;mt^3$

So, the water is raising at a speed of

0.3071-0.1871 = 0.12 $mt^3/min$

This speed equals the difference between the water being pumped and the water leaking,

So,

<em>0.12 = Speed of water being pumped -6.8 </em>

and

Speed of water being pumped = 6.8+0.12 = 6.82 $mt^3/min$

5. Patricia is on the edge of the top of a mountain and notices that a kayak on the lake is 30 meters

zhuklara [117]

The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.

The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>

One of its angle is 90 degrees.
The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.

The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,

tan 35 = opposite / adjacent

tan 35° = 30 / a

a = 30 / tan 35°

a = 30 / 0.70020753821

a = 42.8444402023

a = 42.84 meters

a ≈ 43 meters
