Answer:

9/10 or 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move 50 feet horizontally, the far end of the ramp reaches 4.5 feet above ground level.  Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = 4.5/50 = 9/10 or 0.9.

A triangle has one side length of 2x
Orlov [11]

The simplified expression that represents the total perimeter of the triangle is 2x^2 + 10x  + 3

<h3>How to determine the perimeter?</h3>

The side lengths are given as:

2x^2 + 5x + 3, 2 + 2x and 3x - 2

Add these lengths to determine the perimeter (P)

P = 2x^2 + 5x + 3 + 2 + 2x + 3x - 2

Collect like terms

P = 2x^2 + 5x + 2x + 3x  + 3 + 2 - 2

Evaluate the like terms

P = 2x^2 + 10x  + 3

Hence, the simplified expression that represents the total perimeter of the triangle is 2x^2 + 10x  + 3

A children's pony ride at a zoo has ponies attached to a carousel pole in the center of a circle that the ponies walk around as
stepladder [879]
We simply need to solve for the circumference of the imaginary circle.

Given:
Diameter = 25 feet.

Circumference = 2 * radius * π             OR     Circumference = diameter * π

C = 25feet * 3.14
C = 78.50 feet

The pony will walk 78.50 feet to complete one trip around the circle.

A cardboard box without a top is to have volume 62500 cubic cm. find the dimensions which minimize the amount of material used.
bezimeni [28]

Answer: A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 32,000 cubic cm. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used

. ans: base 40 x 40, height = 20  

Solution:  

The typical box might look like the one below  

where . In addition we have xyz = 32000 ,so we need to minimize .  

We have,  

 

From the geometry of the problem  so y = x. So  or x = 40.  

Finally, y = x = 40 and z = 32000/(xy)=20.
