Given that a<span> passenger elevator in the sears tower in Chicago can lift people 960 feet in 1 minute and 30 seconds (1.5 minutes). This means that the lift is travelling with a speed of:

</span>speed= \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{960}{1.5} =640ft/min
<span>
If the elevator lifts cargo through the same height in 2 minutes and 30 seconds (2.5 minutes), then the speed is given by:

</span>speed= \frac{960}{2.5} =384ft/min<span>
</span>

What is the similarity ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF?<br> Tri ABC: AC=4 CB=5<br> Tri DEF: DF= 2
alekssr [168]

The similarity ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF = 2 : 1.

Solution:

The image attached below.

Given  ΔABC to ΔDEF are similar.

To find the ratio of similarity triangle ABC and triangle DEF.

In ΔABC: AC = 4 and CB = 5

In ΔDEF: DF = 2, EF = ?

Let us first find the length of EF.

We know that, If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding sides are proportional.

⇒ \frac{AC}{DF} =\frac{BC}{EF}

⇒ \frac{4}{2} =\frac{5}{EF}

⇒ 4EF=5\times2

⇒ EF=\frac{5\times 2}{4}

⇒ EF=\frac{5}{2}

Ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF = \frac{AC}{DF} =\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2}{1}

Similarly, ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF = \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{5}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{2}{1}

Hence, the similarity ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF = 2 : 1.

an angle measures 78 degrees more than the measure of a complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

X is one angle

X+78 is the second angle

Add them together

2x+78=90

Subtract 78 from both sides

2x=12

X=6

One angle is 6 the other angle is 84

What is the approximate area of a circle enclosed by a piece of rope 50.24 inches long? (Use the fact that π ≈ 3.14 to make your
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

the approximate area of this circle is 200.96 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem we need to remember that the area of a circle is given by the formula:

Area = πr^2 where r is the radius.

and the perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2πr

Now, the problem tells us that the circle is enclosed by a piece of rope that's 50.24 inches long. So the perimeter of the circle is 50.24 inches.

Since we have the value of the perimeter and the value of pi, we are going to substitute these values in the perimeter formula to find r.

Perimeter = 2πr

50.24=2(3.14)r

50.24= 6.28r

50.24/6.28= r

8= r

Thus, the radius of the circle is 8 inches long.

Now, we can use this value to find the area of the circle:

Area = πr^2

Area = π8^2

Area = 3.14 (64)

Area = 200.96

Therefore, the approximate area of this circle is 200.96 inches long.
