The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is calculated through the equation,
                                        h = (cos x)(18 in)
where h is height and x is half of the angle of the triangle. Since the triangle is equilateral, the value of  x is 30°. Substituting,
                                        h = (cos 30°)(18 in)
                                        h = 15.59 in
Thus, the height of the base is approximately 15.59 inches.

Sean is stacking cans of beans of the market. His shelf is 10 inches tall, 10 inches deep, and 50 inches wide. The cans are 3 in
N76 [4]

Basically you get the volume first:

10 times 10 times 50

Which is 5,000

And we're given the cans volume already:

9.42

So what we do now is divided the area by the cans for our answer:

5,000/9.42

Which is 530.785563

So Sean can stack 530 cans of beans in his shelf.

(when rounding is is 531 cans)

A pilot was scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 15 minutes. Air traffic co
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to identify the parts of the problem that we already know:

1) The pilot was originally scheduled to depart at 1600 (4:00 pm).

2) The pilot's departure was delayed by 15 minutes.

3) the traffic control approved a new flight plan that would allow the pilot to travel to her destination two times faster than her original flight plan.

For the problem's sake, let us pretend that the pilot's original flight plan was going to take two hours. Had he/she left at 4:00 pm, the pilot would have landed at 6:00 pm.

With a delay of 15 minutes, the duration of the flight would still remain constant, so the pilot would arrive at their destination two hours later, at 6:15 pm.

With the new flight plan, the pilot's travel time would be cut in half, so it would be 1/2 of x (time, in minutes, of original flight). Thus, her new flight time would only be one hour (60 minutes).

So, now we have to subtract 1/2 from the original flight time, as well as adding the 15 minute delay for departure. Now we can create a formula:

y = (1/2)x + 15

Y equals the total amount of time (in minutes) that it would take for the plane to leave. We divide x (total time of original flight) by 2, because her new flight plan will be twice as fast. Then we have to take into account the extra 15 minute delay!

A pitcher throws a baseball.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If the units in the equation are in feet, it lef5t at a height of 7.4 feet (or meters, etc.).

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = - 0.013x2 + 0.02x + 7.4

When x, the time, = 0 [just before it leaves the pitcher's hand]

p(0) = 7.4

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = 1/3(area of triangular base)height

To find the triangular base we would use heron formula Area = square root (s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

S = (a+b+c)/2 = 2.6 + 2.6 + 2.6 )/2
