Answer:

w = 137.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

100 tan 54° = w/100 *100

Simplify w/100*100 = w

w = 100 tan 54°

w = 137.6 ft

13. Find the equations of the straight lines which passes
ipn [44]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • y = 1/2x +2
  • y = -2x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The given line has a slope of -1/3, so the lines we want will have slopes of ...

  m1 = tan(arctan(-1/3) +45°) = 0.5 . . . . . using a calculator

  m2 = tan(arctan(-1/3) -45°) = -2

Of course, these two lines are perpendicular to each other, so their slopes will have a product of -1: (0.5)(-2) = -1.

__

We can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line to write the desired equations:

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

<u>Line 1</u>:

  y = 1/2(x -2) +3

  y = 1/2x +2

<u>Line 2</u>:

  y = -2(x -2) +3

  y = -2x +7

Answer:

  47.25 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism is given by the formula ...

  V = Bh . . . . . . . B is the area of the base, h is the height.

The height of the prism is given as 6 ft. The area of the base is the area of the triangular entrance. The formula for that area is ...

  A = 1/2bh . . . . . . b is the base, h is the height

Using the given values for the entrance base and height, we get ...

  A = 1/2(4.5 ft)(3.5 ft) = 7.875 ft²

Then the volume of the tent is ...

  V = (7.875 ft²)(6 ft) = 47.25 ft³

The tent volume is 47.25 cubic feet.

In a list of five consecutive odd integers, the sum of the first and double the last is 139. What is the largest sum?
Leviafan [203]

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From your question, I think you mean the largest number. The answer is given below.

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be:

a, a+2, a+4, a+6 and a+8.

Thee sum of the first and double the last is 139. This can be written as:

a + 2(a+8) = 139

a + 2a + 16 = 139

3a + 16 = 139

3a = 139 - 16

3a = 123

a = 123/3

a = 41

The first number = 41

The largest number = a+8 = 41 + 8 = 49.
