Answer: 12.20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the figure attached that a right triangle is formed.

Then, you need to remember the identity:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

In this case you can identify that:

$adjacent=10\\hypotenuse=x$

$\alpha=35\°$

Then, to find the length of the wooden board (x), you need to substitute values and solve for x.

Therefore, you get:

$cos(35\°)=\frac{10}{x}\\\\(x)(cos(35\°))=10\\\\x=\frac{10}{cos(35\°)}\\\\x=12.20$

The length of the wooden board is: 12.20 feet.

Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm By 8:09 pm, he has covered a distance of 7250 mWhat was Joshua's average speed during that tim

vivado [14]

The average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.

Explanation:

It is given that Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm. By 8:09 pm he has covered a distance of 7250 m.

The total time taken by Joshua from 5:15 pm to 8:09 pm is

$2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+\frac{54}{60} {h}$

Dividing we get,

$2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+0.9 {h}$

Adding, we have,

$2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2.9 {h}$

Thus, the total time taken by Joshua is $2.9 {h}$

To determine the average speed we use the formula,

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

where $distance=7250$ and $time=2.9$

Hence, substituting the values we have,

$speed=\frac{7250}{2.9}$

Dividing, we get,

$speed=2500$

Thus, the average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.

The difference between eight times a number and six more than three times the number. Please help find the equation and simplify

Rainbow [258]

Answer: x>1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number is x.

Hence,

$8x-6 > 3x\\\\8x-6-3x > 3x-3x\\\\5x-6 > 0\\\\5x-6+6 > 0+6\\\\5x > 6\\$

Divide both parts of the equation by 5:

$x > 1.2$

Which are the solutions of x^2 = –11x + 4?

strojnjashka [21]

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation involving a polynomial of degree 2. To solve them, you must rearrange them first, so that all terms are on the same side, so we get

$x^2 + 11x - 4 = 0$

i.e. now we're looking for the roots of the polynomial. To find them, we can use the following formula:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2}$

where $x_{1,2}$ is a compact way to indicate both solutions $x_1$ and $x_2$ , while $a,b,c$ are the coefficients of the quadratic equation, i.e. we consider the polynomial $ax^2+bx+c$ .

So, in your case, we have $a=1,\ \ b=11,\ \ c=-4$

Plug those values into the formula to get

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-11\pm\sqrt{121+16}}{2} = \frac{-11\pm\sqrt{137}}{2}$

So, the two solutions are

$x_1 = \frac{-11+\sqrt{137}}{2}$

$x_2 = \frac{-11-\sqrt{137}}{2}$
