Answer:

3/10 ton per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of gravel and divide by the distance of road

9/10 ton ÷ 3 ft

Copy dot flip

9/10 * 1/3

9/30

3/10 ton per foot

If 9/10 tons of gravel got spread over 3 feet, then how much gravel is on each foot? Well, it's a ratio.

9/10 tons : 3 ft

So, we divide each side of the ratio by 3.

3/10 tons : 1 ft.

So, that 3/10 tons of gravel on each foot of road.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Consider a $\triangle$ ABC right angled at C and $\sf \angle \: B = \theta$

Then,

‣ Base [B] = BC

‣ Perpendicular [P] = AC

‣ Hypotenuse [H] = AB

$\therefore \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{Base}{ Perpendicular} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{8}$

Let,

Base = 7k and Perpendicular = 8k, where k is any positive integer

In $\triangle$ ABC, H² = B² + P² by Pythagoras theorem

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {BC}^{2} + {AC}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {(7k)}^{2} + {(8k)}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 49{k}^{2} + 64{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 113{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \sqrt{113 {k}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \red{ \sqrt{113} \: k}$

Calculating Sin $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{8 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{ k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Calculating Cos $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{BC}{ AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{7 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

<u>Solving the given expression</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

Putting,

• Sin $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} }$

• Cos $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) }{\bigg(1 + \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg)}$

<u>Using</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>a²</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b²</u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{64}{113} }{ 1 - \dfrac{49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \dfrac{113 - 64}{113} }{ \dfrac{113 - 49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac { \dfrac{49}{113} }{ \dfrac{64}{113} } }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac{49}{113} }÷{ \dfrac{64}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{ \cancel{113}} \times \dfrac{ \cancel{113}}{64}$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{64}$

$\qquad \: \therefore \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) } = \pink{\dfrac{49}{64} }$

I made 10 and three fifths gallons of soup of which 6 and one quarter gallons was chicken noodle. How much was not chicken noodl

nata0808 [166]

Answer: 4 7/20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallons of soup made = 10 3/5

Gallons that was chicken noodle = 6 1/4

The gallons that wasn't chicken noodle will be:

= 10 3/5 - 6 1/4

= 10 12/20 - 6 5/20

= 4 7/20

Therefore, 4 7/20 gallons wasn't chicken noodle.

Which statements are true about a rectangular pyramid with a height of 9 centimeters and a base with the dimensions of 4 centime

Semmy [17]

Answer:

B. The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 24 centimeters squared.

C. A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 centimeters by 4 centimeters by 6 centimeters will have 3 times volume of this pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a rectangular pyramid with:

Height=9 cm

Base Dimensions = 4 centimeters by 6 centimeters

Base Area B=4 X 6 =24 Square cm.

Therefore, Option B (The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 24 centimeters squared) is correct.

Volume of a pyramid = $\frac{1}{3} $ X Base Area X Height$

$=\frac{1}{3} X 24X9=72 cm^3$

Volume of a Prism with the dimensions of 9 centimeters by 4 centimeters by 6 centimeters

=Base Area X Height

=24 X 9

$=216 cm^3$

Now, 216/72=3

Therefore, A rectangular prism with the same dimensions will have 3 times volume of this pyramid

Therefore, <u>Option C is correct.</u>
