The amount of resistance, y, in a circuit varies inversely to the current, x, in the circuit. When 10 ohms of resistance are use

d in the circuit, 12 amperes of current are present. When 5 ohms of resistance are used in the same circuit, 24 amperes of current are present. How many ohms of resistance are used in the circuit when 15 amperes of current are present? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

8 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the given conditions

y = 10 when x = 12 or y = 5 when x = 24, hence

k = 10 × 12 = 120

y = \frac{120}{x} ← equation of variation

when x = 15, then

y = \frac{120}{15} = 8

A storage space in a basement is in the shape of a rectangular prisim. The hieght of the storage space is 5 feet. The length is
Greeley [361]

Answer:

length is 28.86ft

width= 4.12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism.</h2>

The storage space takes the shape of a rectangular prism, and we are required to find the width and length  of the storage space.

let the width of the basement be "w"

Given data

volume v=595ft^{3}

length l = 7w ft

width w= w

height h= 5 ft

We know that the expression for the volume of a rectangular prism is

volume= length * width* height

substituting our data we have to find "w"

595= 7w*w*5\\595=7w^{2}*5\\ 595= 35w^{2} \\

dividing both sides by 35 we have

w^{2}= \frac{595}{35\\}  \\w^{2}= 17\\

find the square root of both sides we have

w=\sqrt{17} \\w= 4.12

since we know that length= 7w and width = w , we can substitute our value for w and find the length and width

length= 7*4.12= 28.86ft\\width = 4.12ft

Give one example of when you would draw a diagram to solve an angle measurement problem
adell [148]

An example of an angle measurement problem is when trying to calculate for the height of a particular object given the distance of the observer from the object and the angle of elevation or depression.  For example, you want to find out the height of a building. All you need to know is the distance of your point of origin to the building and the angle of elevation.
