a car left town A at 10:00 am and travelled towards town B at the average speed of 70 km/h. At the same time a truck left town B

Softa [21]

The important formula to this problem is $distance=rate(time)$ or $d=rt$

Now, the speed of the car is 70 km/h, and the speed of the truck is 50 km/h. It will take the two vehicles the same amount of time to meet since they both left at the same time. So, since distance equals rate times time, and t = time:

the distance of the car = 70t
the distance of the truck = 50t

Because they both left in opposite directions, and the towns are 420 kilometers apart, the equation for this would be

$70t+50t=420$

We now solve the equation.

$70t+50t=420 \\ 120t=420 \\ \frac{120t}{120}= \frac{420}{120} \\ t=3 \frac{1}{2}$

It will take the vehicles 3 and a half hours to meet. Since we're looking for the time, 3 and a half hours from 10:00 AM is 1:30 PM.

So, the car and the truck will pass each other at 1:30 PM.

The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

A carpenter is creating a circular wooden table with a radius of 4 feet and needs to know the area of the table to purchase the

JulijaS [17]

Answer: The area of the circular wooden table = 50.24 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius of the circular table = 4 feet

We know that area of a circle is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\pi r^2$

Therefore, the area of circular wooden table is given by :-

$\text{Area}=3.14(4)^2\\\Rightarrow\ 3.14\times16\\\Rightarrow\text{Area=}50.24\ ft^2$

The area of the circular wooden table = 50.24 ft²

Find out the number of combinations and the number of permutations for 8 objects taken 6 at a time. Express your answer in exact

umka2103 [35]

Solution:

The permutation formula is expressed as

$\begin{gathered} P^n_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\ \end{gathered}$

The combination formula is expressed as

$\begin{gathered} C^n_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

where

$\begin{gathered} n\Rightarrow total\text{ number of objects} \\ r\Rightarrow number\text{ of object selected} \end{gathered}$

Given that 6 objects are taken at a time from 8, this implies that

$\begin{gathered} n=8 \\ r=6 \end{gathered}$

Thus,

Number of permuations:

$\begin{gathered} P^8_6=\frac{8!}{(8-6)!} \\ =\frac{8!}{2!}=\frac{8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2!}{2!} \\ 2!\text{ cancel out, thus we have} \\ \begin{equation*} 8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3 \end{equation*} \\ \Rightarrow P_6^8=20160 \end{gathered}$

Number of combinations:

$\begin{gathered} C^8_6=\frac{8!}{(8-6)!6!} \\ =\frac{8!}{2!\times6!}=\frac{8\times7\times6!}{6!\times2\times1} \\ 6!\text{ cancel out, thus we have} \\ \frac{8\times7}{2} \\ \Rightarrow C_6^8=28 \end{gathered}$

Hence, there are 28 combinations and 20160 permutations.
