The temperature is 45°F. The temperature will decrease by 2°F each hour. Let h be the number of hours.

1 answer:

8 0

45 - 2t < 32 ( where t is time and you can replace it with x or h if you prefer)
Solving for t you get:
45 - 2t - 32 < 0
45 - 32 < 2t
13 < 2t
13/2 < t
Or the temperature will drop below 32F after 6 and a half hours

Why can't the sum of any 4 consecutive numbers be a multiple of four?

anyanavicka [17]

It wouldn't be able to be because since all of the the numbers that could fit is probably going to be a decimal. Let's say we find 4 consecutive numbers of 32.

Equation:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=32

4x+6=32

-6 -6

4x=26

x=6.5 1. 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5

As you can see, the consecutive number is going to be a decimal.

Find the area of this shape? HELP Radius is 2 area is 3.14

notka56 [123]

You shouldn’t need radius but the area is 46

you make the thing hanging of a square and the other big shape a triangle then 2x3 is 6 and 8x10 decided by 2 is 40 and 40+6 is 46

Can you help me to solve this

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$\text{Triangle 1:}\\\\x=30\sqrt{2},\\\\\text{Triangle 2:}\\x\approx 36.18,\\?\approx12.37$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Notes (clarified by the person who asked this question):

-The triangle on the right has a right angle (angle that appears to be a right angle is a right angle)

-The bottom side of the right triangle is marked with a question mark (?)

<u>Triangle 1 (triangle on left):</u>

Special triangles:

In all 45-45-90 triangles, the ratio of the sides is $x:x:x\sqrt{2}$ , where $x\sqrt{2}$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Since one of the legs is marked as $30$ , the hypotenuse must be $\boxed{30\sqrt{2}}$

It's also possible to use a variety of trigonometry to solve this problem. Basic trig for right triangles is applicable and may be the simplest:

$\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{30}{x},\\x=\frac{30}{\cos 45^{\circ}}=\frac{30}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=30\cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{60}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{60\cdot\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{2}}=\frac{60\sqrt{2}}{2}=\boxed{30\sqrt{2}}\\$

<u>Triangle 2 (triangle on right):</u>

We can use basic trig for right triangles to set up the following equations:

$\cos 20^{\circ}=\frac{34}{x},\\x=\frac{34}{\cos 20^{\circ}}\approx \boxed{36.18}$ ,

$\tan 20^{\circ}=\frac{?}{34},\\?=34\tan 20^{\circ}\approx \boxed{12.37}$

We can verify these answers using the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in all right triangles, the following must be true:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where $c$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle and $a$ and $b$ are two legs of the triangle.

Verify $34^2+(34\tan20^{\circ})^2=\left(\frac{34}{\cos20^{\circ}}\right)^2\:\checkmark$
