A wooden board is leaning against a house

Mathematics
1 answer:
kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

24.4 feet

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the wooden board as shown in the diagram.

Using trigonometry ratio, we can write

\cos(35)=\frac{20}{x}

\implies0.819= \frac{20}{x}

cross multiplying we get:

0.819 \times x = 20

Diving through by 0.819, we obtain

x = 24.42

To the nearest tenth, x=24.4 feet.

A small town currently has a population of 15,000. Each year the population decreases by 2.25%. What will the population be in 8
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: 12,503 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential decrease so to find the population in 8 years you have to use a future value formula:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 15,000 ( 1 + (-2.25%)) ⁸

= 15,000 * (1 - 2.25%)⁸

= 12,503.32

= 12,503 people

1/3 equivalent first 2 fractions
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Hey there!

1/3 is equivalent to 2/6
Here is why:

1 x 2 = 2
3 x 2 = 6
You can do this by cross multiplying 1/3 and 2/6
That's how you get 2/6 as an equivalent fraction.

1/3 is also equivalent to 3/9
Here is why:
3 x 1 = 3
3 x 3 =9
You can also do this by cross multiplying 1/3 and 3/9
That's how you get 3/9 as an equivalent fraction.

There are also many other fractions that are equal to 1/3, but these are the first two.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Each side of a square is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/s. at what rate is the area of the square increasing when the area of the
faltersainse [42]
Let x(t) =  the length of a side of the square (cm) at time t (s).
The rate of change of x is given as
\frac{dx}{dt} =2 \,  \frac{cm}{s}

The area (cm²) at time t is 
A = x²

The rate of change of the area with respect to time is
\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dx}  \frac{dx}{dt} =2 \frac{dA}{dx} =2(2x)=4x \,  \frac{cm^{2}}{s}

When A = 9 cm², then x = √9 = 3cm. Hence obtain
\frac{dA}{dt} = 4(3) = 12 \,  \frac{cm^{2}}{s}

Answer: 12 cm²/s
