or to the street; but every time he returns, he rides the same self-service elevator only to the 15th floor, where he leaves the elevator and walks up the remaining five flights of stairs. What is happening? Why does he do that?

Answer:

He does that because he is short and his hand can't reach the 20th floor button

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitch does that simply because he is short.

When he is leaving, he doesn't need to reach the 20th floor button because the button is way taller than the reach of his hands whereas when he is returning he has to reach the 20th floor button but his hand can only reach the 15th floor button. Thus, he gets to the 15th floor and walks up the remaining 5 flights.

A circle has a radius of 5 ft, and an arc of length 7 ft is made by the intersection of the circle with a central angle. Which e
maw [93]

Answer:

Ф = ------------ = 7/5 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

"e" is inappropriate format here.  Use Ф or α or similiar character for central angle.

Here, (arc length) = (radius)(central angle),  or  s = rФ, and so:

(central angle) = Ф = (arc length) / (radius)

                     7 ft

Here, Ф = ------------ = 7/5 radians

                    5 ft

Answer:

No. Reduce 10/8 by dividing by 2. 10/8= 5, 8/2= 4. 10/8= 5/4. Reduce 16/20 by dividing by 4. 16/4= 4 , 20/4= 5. 16/20= 4/5.

The diameter of a circle is 23 inches and the circle has two chords of length 14 inches what is the distance from each chord to
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 23 inches (given)

Radius = 11.5 inches

2 Chords of length = 14 inches ( You didn't specify if the 14 inches is for both chords or for a single cord. I'll assume it's for two cords 14 and 14inches apart.

To clearly solve this, we'll make some mild assumptions.

Let the perpendicular distance of the chords from the center of the circle to represented as " x and y"

Therefore:

x^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

x^2 + 49 = 132.25

x^2 = 132.25 - 49

x^2 = 83.25

x = √ 83.25

x = 9.12 inches

Since the cords have thesame length (Assumed from the way the question was structured, the distance would still be thesame)

y^2 + 7^2 = 11.5 ^ 2

y^2 + 49 = 132.25

y^2 = 132.25 - 49

y^2 = 83.25

y = √ 83.25

y = 9.12 inches

Therefore, the distance will be :

9.12 + 9.12 = 18.24 inches

Have fun!
