Answer:

12 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A model ship has a mast that is 7 inches tall. A right triangular sail goes from the top of the mast to 1 inch from the bottom of the mast. The length of the base of the sail is 4 inches. The height of the sail is along the mast. Find the area of the sail.

The sail will form a right triangle with respect to mast, whose height is 6 inches and base is 4 inches as shown in the diagram.

The area of the sail will be equal to area of triangle.

\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times\text{Height})

\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(4\text{ in}\times6 \text{in})

\text{Area of triangle}=2\text{ in}\times 6 \text{in})

\text{Area of triangle}=12 \text{ in}^2

Therefore, the area of the sail is 12 square inches.

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.
mario62 [17]
X = 12

because if you notice, each of the angles have a little arc in the corner, which means they are congruent. if all three angles are congruent, that means each angle is 60° because each triangle has a maximum value of 180°. therefore, this means it is an equilateral triangle.

that being said, each side must be equal as well. so, you can use any two sides to find x by using each one on a different side of an equation, then isolating and solving.

5x - 22 = 3x + 2 = 4x - 10

so

5x - 22 = 3x + 2
3x + 2 = 4x - 10
4x - 10 = 5x - 22

whichever one you solve for, x = 12. and if you plug in that number for x, each side equals the same number = 38

What is the volume of the sphere given below? if necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
Marrrta [24]
The formula for volume of a sphere is V=(4pi*r^3)/3.
Plugging in 12 for r we get
V=(4pi*(12)^3)/3
V=(4pi*1728)/3
V=(6912pi)/3
V=2304pi
Round to 2 decimal places: 7238.23
Final Answer:
7238.23 cubic units.

During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. The next month, 400 u
Mice21 [21]

Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.

Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.

During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as

500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1

The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as

400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2

Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes

200000x + 40000y = 133200

200000x + 75000y = 143000

Subtracting, it becomes

- 35000y = - 9800

y = - 9800/- 35000

y = 0.28

Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes

400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286

400x = 286 - 42 = 244

x = 244/400 = 0.61
