145 = -16 t² + 80 t +s
s = ?
v = v0 - at
0 = 80 - at
80 = at
s = 80 t - at²/2
s = 80 t - 80t/2
s = 40 t
Finally: 145 = -16 t² + 80 t + 40 t
16 t² - 120 t + 145 = 0
We will solve this quadratic equation:
t = [120 +√ ( (-120)²- 4 · 16 · 145 )] / 32
t = [120 + √ (14400 - 9280) ] / 32 
t = (120 + 71.55) / 32 = 5.98 ≈ 6 s
Answer:D) 6 seconds

When we do this, the base of the parallelogram has length b 1 + b 2, and the height is the same as the trapezoids, so the area of the parallelogram is (b 1 + b 2)*h. Since the two trapezoids of the same size created this parallelogram, the area of one of those trapezoids is one half the area of the parallelogram

The ratio of pencils to erasers is 1:2. There are 24 pencils and erasers in all. How many pencils and erasers are there?
Semenov [28]

There are 8 pencils and 16 erasers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of pencils to eraser = 1:2

Total number of pencils and erasers = 24

Let,

x be the original number.

Therefore,

Number of pencils = x

Number of erasers = 2x

Thus,

x+2x = 24

3x=24

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{24}{3}\\x=8

Number of pencils = 8

Number of erasers = 2(8) = 16

There are 8 pencils and 16 erasers.
