Answer:

<u>The height of the tree is √65 or 8.06 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find out the height of the tree, this way:

Hypotenuse = length of the ladder = 9 feet

Leg 1 = Distance from the base of the tree to bottom of the ladder = 4 feet

Leg 2 = Height of the tree

Now, replacing with the real values we have:

Leg 2 ² = Hypotenuse² - Leg 1²

Leg 2² = 9² - 4²

Leg 2² = 81 - 16

Leg 2² = 65

√Leg 2² = √65

Leg 2 = √65 or 8.06 feet

<u>The height of the tree is √65 or 8.06 feet</u>

Each one of four pies were cut into 8 pieces for dinner. After dinner there remained 1/2 of a pie, o pie, 3/8 of a pie and 5/$of
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: What you would have left is 12 pieces of pie

Step-by-step explanation: As stated in the question, one pie has been sliced into 8 pieces, and there are three pies in all. That means we had at the beginning 3 x 8 slices of pie which equals 24 pieces.

Also if each pie had been sliced into 8 pieces then each can be represented as 8/8. Therefore eating one slice would leave you with 7/8 (that is 8/8 minus 1/8).

So, each of the three pies now have the following left overs;

1/2, 3/8 and 5/8.

Adding them all together would give,

1/2 + 3/8 + 5/8

Using 8 as the common denominator

4/8 + 3/8 + 5/8

(4 + 3 + 5)/8

12/8.

Therefore, there would be 12 pieces left altogether, which can also be expressed as one pie and 4 pieces.

A machine lifts up containers of coal from the mine and lowers empty containers down. The machine uses an electric motor connect
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The maximum power available to the motor is 2.4 MW

Step-by-step explanation:

The power of  a circuit that has a current, I, and a voltage, V, is given by the relation

Electrical power, P = I²R = I× I×R = I × V

Therefore given that the parameters are;

Voltage in the d.c. power supply = 600 V d.c.

Maximum current in the motor = 4000 A

Therefore, we can find the power as follows;

Maximum motor power = Voltage × Current

The maximum motor power, P available =  600 V × 4000 A = 2400000 W which on converting to MW becomes;

The maximum power available to the motor , P = 2.4 MW.
