Look at the picture of a scaffold used to support construction workers. The height of the scaffold can be changed by adjusting t

wo slanting rods, one of which, labeled PR, is shown:
A support structure is shown in which a right triangle PQR is formed with the right angle at Q. The length of PQ is shown as 14 feet, and the length of QR is shown as 9 feet..

Part A: What is the approximate length of rod PR? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain how you found your answer stating the theorem you used. Show all your work. (5 points)

Part B: The length of rod PR is adjusted to 18 feet. If width PQ remains the same, what is the approximate new height QR of the scaffold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all your work. (5 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Using Pythagorus theorem</u> :

(A)

PR =  \sqrt{ {PQ}^{2}  +  {QR}^{2} }

PR =   \sqrt{196 + 81}  =  \sqrt{277}  = 16.64 \: cm

(B)

QR  =   \sqrt{ {PQ}^{2}  +  {PR}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{196 +324 }  = 22.8 \: cm

What is the total amount that Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 perce
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 percent, compounded annually.

The formula for compound interest is:

A=P(1+r)^n

Where A = future value

P= Principal Amount

r = interest rate

and n= time

So in the question we are given:

P= $8000

r = 6% or 0.06

t = 4 (since 4 yeras compounded annually)

A= 8000*(1+0.06)^4

A= 8000*(1.06)^4

A= 10099.81

So, total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,-5) and is perpendicular to the y-axis. Do not put any spaces in yo
Allushta [10]

Answer:

<em>y=-5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the line</u>

Lines can be expressed in several forms. The slope-intercept form of the line is:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the line and m is the y-intercept.

If the line is perpendicular to the y-axis, then it's a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have slope m=0, thus, the equation is:

y = b

To find the value of b, just substitute the given point:

-5=b

The equation of the line is:

y=-5
