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.

Two cars which are 40 miles apart start moving simultaneously in the same direction with constant speeds. If the speed of the ca
IgorC [24]

Answer:

5mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two cars are 40 miles apart at the beginning.

They started at the same time with speeds 48 mph and 56 mph respectively

Since both cars are travelling in the same direction,

Relative velocity = Speed of the behind car-Speed of the first car

=56-48 =8mph

To catch the I car, the second car has to travel a distance of 40 miles extra in the same time as the I car

i.e. speed to be made up by the second car = 40 miles

Relative velocity per hour              = 8mph

Hence time taken to catch up = \frac{40}{8} =5mph

Explain how the graph of y = 0.5x (the solid line on the graph) differs from the graph of y = x (the dashed line)
Fittoniya [83]

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to see how to identify the difference between the two lines y = 0.5x (solid line) and y = x (the dashed line)

First, usually the solid line represents itself, all the values of y such that y = 0.5x.

In this case, for every value you take for x in the real line, you divide it by two and this will be its image, the line covers all the points satisfying this relation.

The dashed line usually represents inequalities, in this case, y is not equal to x.

When you have y > x, you have a dashed line and a shadowed region covering all the plane above the line.

When you have y < x, you have a dashed line and a shadowed region covering all the plane under the line.

When y is not equal to x, you only have a dashed line.

Therefore, the dashed line represents all the points in the plane such that y is equal to x, but excluding them in some sense.
