The possible value of the basketball length is 63.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The width of a basketball court is 5 feet less than three times the length
  • If the perimeter is no more than 500 feet

We need to find the possible length of the basketball court

Assume that the length of the basketball court is x feet

∵ The length of the basketball court is x feet

∵ The width of it is 5 feet less than three times the length

- Multiply x by 3 and then subtract 5 from the product

∴ The width is 3x - 5

∵ The perimeter is no more than 500 feet

- No more means ≤

∴ The perimeter is ≤ 500

∵ The perimeter = 2(length + width)

∴ The perimeter = 2(x + 3x - 5)

- Add like terms

∴ The perimeter = 2(4x - 5)

- Substitute the perimeter in the inequality above

∴ 2(4x - 5) ≤ 500

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 8x - 10 ≤ 500

- Add 10 to both sides

∴ 8x ≤ 500

- Divide both sides by 8

∴ x ≤ 63.75

The possible value of the basketball length is 63.75 feet

In FGH, the measure of H=90°, HF=91 feet, and GH = 50 feet. Find the measure of F to the nearest degree.
Rudik [331]

Given:

The angle of H=90°, HF=91 feet, and GH = 50 feet.

The objective is to find the measure of angle<em> F.</em>

In the given right angled triangle, the side opposite to the requierd angle is called opposite side, and the other smaller side is called adjacent side.

The trigonometry formula which relates with the opposite and adjacent side is,

\tan \theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Now substitute the value of opposite and adjacent in the above formula to find the value of angle <em>F</em>.

\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{50}{91} \\ \theta=\tan ^{-1}(0.549) \\ \theta=28.787^0 \\ \theta\approx29^0 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of angle <em>F</em> is 29 degree.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

340

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the sample that 18/50 people bring lunches to school. If we divide 18 by 50 we get 0.36 now we know that 36% of people bring their lunches in the sample. Now we take that number and multiply it by 942.

0.36*942= 339.12 which we can round to 340
