Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall

candle can burn for. He assumes that the relationship between the height of a candle and number of hours it burns (h) is proportional. How long can a 21 cm tall candle burn for?

Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Hope this helped you! :)

Kruka [31]
R = 25 cm = 0.25 m
α = 2.00 rad /s²
T(heta) = 4 π
ω = T(heta)/ t
ω = α t
α t = 4 π / t
t ² = 2 π
t = √ ( 2π )  = 2.5 s
ω = α t = 2 · 2.5 = 5 rad/s
v = ω r = 5 · 0.25 = 1.25 m/s
(1)    a (rad) = ω² r = 25 · 0.25 = 6.25 m/s²
(2)    a (rad) = v² / r = ( 1.25 )² / 0.25 = 0.15625 / 0.25 = 6.25 m/s²

To wash a window that is 4 meters off the ground, Rafi leans a 5-meter ladder against the side of the building. To reach the win
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Base of the ladder is 3 meters away from the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use Pythagoras theorem to solve.

Pythagoras theorem says,

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

Here let horizontal distance is "a''

Vertical distance of window is 4 m

So, b=4

The Rafi leans 5 m ladder against the wall. So, c=5.

a^{2} +4^{2} =5^{2}

Simplify it

a^{2} +16=25

Subtract both sides 16

a^{2} =9

Take square root on both sides

a=±3

So, base of the ladder is 3 meters away from the building.
