Answer:

C. 42 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 14. The two given sides are 5·14 = 70 and 4·14 = 56. Then the missing side is 3·14 = 42.

If not, you can use the Pythagorean theorem in the usual way:

... hypotenuse² = leg1² +leg2²

... 70² = 56² +leg2²

... leg2 = √(70² -56²) = √1764 = 42 . . . . yards

The cable is anchored 42 yards from the  base of the tower.

Answer:

The sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Blake bought a motorcycle for $ 550 last year and sold it for $ 330 this year, to determine what is his sale price as a percentage of his purchase price, the following calculation must be performed:

550 = 100

330 = X

330 x 100/550 = X

33000/550 = X

60 = X

Therefore, the sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

A woman who has recovered from a serious illness begins a diet regimen designed to get her back to a healthy weight. She current
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a.) w = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) 3.5weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Her current weight is 103 pounds and she hopes to multiply her her weight each week by 1.08, then

her weight after 1 week = 103 * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08¹

Her weight after 2 weeks = [weight of week 1] * 1.08 = [103* 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08²

Weight after 3 weeks= [weight of week 2] * 1.08 = [103 * 1.08 * 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08³

Hence weight (W) after t weeks = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) If W = 135, Then

103 * 1.08^t = 135

1.08^t = 135/103

1.08^t = 1.31

Taking log of both sides,

log 1.08^t = log 1.31

t log 1.08 = log 1.32

t = log 1.32/log 1.08

t = 3.5 weeks.

Hence, it will take her 3½ weeks to get to 135pounds weight.

Answer:

Increase in the length of one side = 3.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Yossi has garage whose area is 280 ft²

After rebuilt their is increment in area by 50%

New Area = 280 × 150% = 420 ft²

Also we know that Area of Square = (Length) × (Length)

⇒ Length of Newly built garage = √420 = 20.5 ft

and Length of Originally garage = √280 = 16.7 ft

⇒ Increase in the length of one side = 20.5 - 16.7 = 3.8 ft
