Answer:

41.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

A scuba diver has a taut rope connecting the dive boat to an anchor on the ocean floor. The rope is 90 feet i.e. AC = 90 feet.

The depth of water i.e. AB  = 80 feet.

We are supposed to find how far is the anchor from a point directly below the boat i.e. BC

So, to find BC we will use Pythagoras theorem :

Perpendicular^2+Base^2=Hypotenuse^2

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2

80^2+BC^2=90^2

6400+BC^2=8100

BC^2=8100-6400

BC^2=1700

BC=\sqrt{1700}

BC=41.2 feet

Thus the anchor is 41.2 feet from a point directly below the boat.

3x+4+8x-28=180 what x
Paraphin [41]
The equation simplified (combine like terms) would be 11x+(-24) =180.
Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, you could also write it as this: 11x-24=180. Next step is isolate the variable, so to do that you need to add 24 to both sides of the equation: 11x-24+24=180+24. This is the same as 11x=204. Now to get only one of the variable, you need to divide both sides by 11. x=18.54 repeating or x=18 6/11. Hope this helped!

A right rectangular prism has these dimensions:
ki77a [65]
Volume of rectangular prism = 1 1/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 4/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 20/27

Volume of cube = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216

Number of cubes that will pack the rectangular prism = 20/27 / 1/216 = 160

I'd really appreciate some help on these questions, I'm really struggling

We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.

3x - 4y = 1
-2x + 3y = 1

To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second. 

9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4

Adding,
x = 7

We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:

2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)

y = 5

Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good.   -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.

Q18 Answer: (7,5)

y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)

5x = -12x + 20 -3

17 x = 17

x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good

Q19 Answer (1,2)

6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good   2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good

Q20 Answer (10,-7)


3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x  + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6

Check: 3(4)+6=18 good,  -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good

Which arrangement for these numbers is from least to greatest?
laiz [17]

Answer: D) -5/6 < -3/5 < -4/7 < -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since putting fractions from least to greatest by using negatives the number or fraction has to be closed to 0. -5/6 is the farthest from 0 so it'll be the least -4/9 is closes to 0 so -4/9 is the most.
