So to do this we need a little trig. picture a slide with a ladder, the slide would be the hypotenuse and the ladder would be the vertical side. and since we know the slide makes a 35 degree angle with ground we can solve by using the cosine function
\cos(35)  =  \frac{x}{4.1}
because cos = opposite/hypotenuse. the opposite side is the ladder in this case. therefore your answer for how high up the slide is
x =  4.1\cos(35)
x = 3.335 \: meters

Ronald ran 6 laps in 12 minutes. Which ratio can be used to find the number of laps that Ronald ran in 1 minute?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

0.5:1

Step-by-step explanation:

laps:minutes

So we can find how much Ronald runs in 2 minutes, by dividing 6:12 (or 6/12) by 6. This will give you 1:2 (One lap = 2 minutes).

But you're looking for 1 minute, so with 1:2, you have to divide them by 1/2, so it will be 0.5:1.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
likoan [24]

Answer:

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation x^2+4=6x is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, the given Quadratic equation, x^2+4=6x

This can be written as ,  x^2-6x+4=0

We have to solve using quadratic formula,

For a given quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 we can find roots using,

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}  ...........(1)

Where,  \sqrt{b^2-4ac} is the discriminant.

Here, a = 1 , b = -6 , c = 4

Substitute in (1) , we get,

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot 1 \cdot (4)}}{2 \cdot 1}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{20}}{2}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}

\Rightarrow x={3\pm \sqrt{5}}

\Rightarrow x_1={3+\sqrt{5}} and \Rightarrow x_2={3-\sqrt{5}}

We know \sqrt{5}=2.23607(approx)

Substitute, we get,

\Rightarrow x_1={3+2.23607}(approx) and \Rightarrow x_2={3-2.23607}(approx)

\Rightarrow x_1={5.23607}(approx) and \Rightarrow x_2=0.76393}(approx)

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation x^2+4=6x is 5.24 and 0.76 .

The Surface Area of a square pyramid is 3600 ft. The slant height is 80 feet and the base is 20 feet. At most how many 1 foot cu
amm1812

Answer:

10,583 flexible cubes

9915 rigid cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the surface area of a square pyramid is area of base plus perimeter of base multiplied by the slant height

Surface area = A + 1/2·p·s

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3×A×h

Where:

A = Area of the base = 20 × 20 = 400 ft²

h = The height of the pyramid = √((slant height)² - ((base side length)/2)²)

h = √(80² - (20/2)²) = 30·√7

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3*400*30·√7 = 4000·√7 ft³ = 10,583.005 ft³

If the cubes are flexible, approximately 10,583 cubes

For rigid cubes we have

Given that the height of the pyramid = 30·√7

The slope of the pyramid = 30·√7/10 = 3·√7

So an increase in height of 1 foot gives a reduction in width of 2/(3·√7)

The bottom can hold 400 cubes

The next layer can hold 19×19 = 361

3rd 361

4th 361

5th 324

6th 324

7th 324

8th 324

9th

Continuing, we get a total of about 9915 rigid cubes in the pyramid.
