Nathaniel measured the height of one shelf on his bookcase. He wants to know which books will fit on the shelf. The shelf is 22.

86 sentimeters tall. He measured it again with an inch ruler. The shelf is 9 inches tall.
PART A - Wrte an equatioon you could use to find the number of centimeters in 1 inch.

PART B - Solve the equation you wrote in PART A. Show your work.

PART C - The top shelf of Natheniel's bookcase is 12 inches tall. How many centimeters tall is the top shelf?

PART A - So the ruler is 22.86 centimeters tall, and after measuring with an inch ruler, is also 9 inches tall.
ruler = 22.86cm
ruler = 9 in
You can equate 22.86cm and 9in because they both equal the length of the ruler (transitive property).
22.86cm = 9in
Then you can write a proportionality equation.
\frac{22.86cm}{9in} = \frac{x}{1in} \\

Part B - 
Cross multiplying,
(9in)x = (22.86cm)1 \\ 
x =  \frac{22.86cm}{9in}= 2.54cm/in

Part C - We can use something called dimensional analysis - multiplying 12 cm by (1in/2.54cm) - in order to change the units from inches to cm. This is possible because 1in = 2.54cm, the fraction 1in/2.54cm = 1. And also the units cm will cancel out.
\frac{12cm}{1} * \frac{1in}{2.54cm} = 4.72in

Answer:

41.04 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other the given angle is the included angle. The initial position is given by A. The tree is denoted as C and the fence post is denoted as B. Since the use of sine rule will complicate the question, it will be easier to solve this question using the cosine rule. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of BC. The cosine rule is:

BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2 - 2*AB*AC*cos(BAC).

The question specifies that AC = 70 meters, BAC = 25°, and AB = 35 meters. Plugging in the values:

BC^2 = 35^2 + 70^2 - 2(35)(70)*cos(25°).

Simplifying gives:

BC^2 = 1684.091844.

Taking square root on the both sides gives BC = 41.04 meters (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the distance between the point on the tree to the point on the fence post is 41.04 meters!!!

Every confidence interval has associated z value. As confidence interval increases so do the z value associated with it. 
The confidence interval can be calculated using following formula:
\overline{x} \pm \frac{zs}{\sqrt n}
Where \overline{x} is the mean value, z is the associated z value, s is the standard deviation and n is the number of samples.
We know that standard deviation is simply a square root of variance:
s=\sqrt{315900.20}=\$562.05
The confidence interval of 95% has associated z value of <span>1.960.
</span>Now we can calculate the confidence interval for our income:
3472.00\pm \frac{1.960\cdot 562.05}{\sqrt{60}}\\ \$3472.00\pm142.22

Sue bought a pair of jeans and a shirt for $55.75. If the jeans cost $25.25, how much did she pay for the shirt?
givi [52]
Hey there!

In order to find the amount that Sue paid for the shirt, all you have to do is subtract the price of the jeans from the total amount that she paid for the jeans and the shirt. 

55.75 – 25.25 = 30.5

Sue paid $30.50 for the shirt, making your answer A. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
