The distance between ladder and bottom of the slide is 4.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of ladder = 1 m

Length of slide = 5 m

The ladder will serve as perpendicular and slide will serve as hypotenuse.

The distance from bottom of the slide to ladder will be base.

a = 1

c = 5

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(1)^2+b^2=(5)^2\\1+b^2=25\\b^2=25-1\\b^2=24$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{24}\\b=4.89$

Rounding to the nearest tenth

b = 4.9 meters

The distance between ladder and bottom of the slide is 4.9 meters.

How many subsets are there in {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}?

Contact [7]

<h3>Answer: 64</h3>

Explanation:

If there are n = 6 items in the set, then there are 2^n = 2^6 = 64 subsets

This is because there are 2 choices per slot. Either the item is in the subset or not. Since we have 6 slots, and 2 choices per slot, we have (2*2*2)*(2*2*2) = 2^6 = 64 different combos.

Side note: The empty set is included as one of the subsets. Also, the original set itself is a subset.

How is this equation completed? I cannot find any examples in the book.

Answer: Option D

$t_{max} =19\ s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the projectile height as a function of time is given by the quadratic equation

$h = -12t ^ 2 + 456t$

To find the maximum height of the projectile we must find the maximum value of the quadratic function.

By definition the maximum value of a quadratic equation of the form

$at ^ 2 + bt + c$ is located on the vertex of the parabola:

$t_{max}= -\frac{b}{2a}$

Where $a$

In this case the equation is: $h = -12t ^ 2 + 456t$

Then

$a=-12\\b=456\\c=0$

So:

$t_{max} = -\frac{456}{2*(-12)}$

$t_{max} =19\ s$

a rectangle has a perimeter of 22 feet. the width is 5 feet less than the length. find the length and width of the rectangle

alexira [117]

Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft
