Answer:
Kate's possible hourly rate of pay: $34.75
Hours of overtime: 100
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find Kate's hourly wage, we can set up an equation based on the number of hours she works per week and the estimated number of overtime hours to equal her total pay for the year. If Kate works 36 hours/week and there are 52 weeks in a year, her total hours for one year are: 36 x 52 = 1872. Setting up an equation based on her total earnings of $72,000:
1872x + 100(2x) = 72000, where 'x' is the hourly rate and '2x' is her overtime rate which is double time.
Combine like terms: 1872x + 200x = 72000 or 2072x = 72000
Divide both sides by 2072: 2072x/2072 = 72000/2072
Solve for x: x = $34.75
Kate's hourly rate is estimated at $34.75. We can check to see if this is correct by putting this value back into our original equation:
1872(34.75) + 100(2)(34.75) = 65052 + 6950 = 72002
The answer of $72,002 is very close to $72,000 and the best estimate of Kate's hourly wage and overtime hours.
Answer:
y=+3
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area would be 298.7 cm².
The lateral area is the area of all of the lateral faces of the pyramid. There are 8 triangles making up the lateral faces. Each has a base of 6.6. The formula for the area of a triangle is
A=1/2bh,
so we still need the height of the triangle.
The height of each lateral triangle is the slant height of the pyramid. The slant height of the pyramid forms a right triangle with the height of the pyramid and the "radius" as it were of the pyramid. Thus we use the Pythagorean theorem:
8²+8²=h²
64+64=h²
128=h²
√128=√(h²)
8√2 = h
Substituting this into our area formula we have:
A=1/2(6.6)(8√2)
We will go ahead and multiply this by 8, since there are 8 lateral faces:
LA=8(1/2)(6.6)(8√2)
LA = 298.7
