Answer:

55.96 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Speed X time

Car first moved east for 1 hr , distance = 40 x 1 = 40 miles

Car then moved north-east for 30 min, distance = 40 x 0.5 = 20 miles

From trigonometry,

sin 45 = \frac{y}{20} ; y = 20 sin 45 ; y= 14.14 miles

cos 45 = \frac{x}{20} ; x = 20 cos 45 ; x = 14.14 miles

using Pythagoras theorem;

z^{2} = y^{2} + (40+x)^{2}

    = 14.14^{2} + (40+14.14)^{2}

     = 3131.08

z^{2} = \sqrt{3131.08}

z = 55.96 miles

Big Smiles Toy Company needs to pack marbles into a box. The company has two boxes they can use. Box A is 9 inches wide, 13 inch
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Big Smiles Toy Company should choose Box B as its volume is  82.5 inch^3 larger than Box A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension of Box A= 9 inches width, 13 inches length, 11.5 inches height

Dimension of Box B =14 inches width, 8.5 inches length, 12 inches height

Volume of Box A= Length\timeswidth\times height=9\times13\times11.5= 1345.5 inches^3

Volume of Box B =Length\times width\times height= 14\times8.5\times12= 1428 inches^3

Difference = Volume of Box B - Volume of Box A = 1428 - 1345.5 = 82.5inches^3

Box B has 82.5 inch^3 volume larger than Box A

Answer:

WX = 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule (law of tan) in the given right triangle WXY.

tan(W) = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

tan(27)° = \frac{\text{XY}}{\text{WX}}

0.509525 = \frac{4}{\text{WX}}

WX = \frac{4}{0.509525}

WX = 7.85

WX ≈ 7.9

Therefore, length of side WX is 7.9 units.

An electrician bought 120 feet of electrical wire and used 105 feet of it. What percent of the wire went unused? 15% 12. 5% 8. 7
Yuri [45]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

105 is what percent of 120?

you can use this proportion:

if/of = %/100

in this problem:

is = 105

of = 120

'what percent' = p/100

105/120 = p/100

cross-multiply to get:

120p = 10500

p = 10500/120

p = 87.5

So the electrician used 87.5%, out of 100%, meaning 12.5% went unused

When the sun's angle of elevation is 76°, a tree casts an 18-foot shadow on the ground. Find the length of the tree to the neare
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<u>56.5 ft</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure which represents the explanation of the problem.

We need to find the length of the tree to which is the length of AD

From the graph ∠BAC = 90° and ∠ABD = 76°, AB = 18 ft

At ΔABD:

∠BAD = ∠BAC - ∠DAC = 90° - 4° = 86°

∠ADB = 180° - ( ∠BAD + ∠ABD) = 180 - (86+76) = 180 - 162 = 18°

Apply the sine rule at ΔABD

∴\frac{AB}{SinD} =\frac{AD}{sinB}

∴ 18/sin 18 = AD/sin 76

∴ AD = 18 * (sin 76)/(sin 18) ≈ 56.5 (to the nearest tenth of a foot)

So, The length of the tree = 56.5 ft.

<u>The answer is 56.5 ft</u>
