Emma is playing miniature golf. Her ball is 2 feet to the left of the right-hand wall. The hole is 4 feet to the left of the wal

l. The distance along the wall between her ball and the hole is 18 feet. There is an obstacle between her ball and the hole, so Emma must hit her ball off the right-hand wall to reflect it towards the hole. How far down the wall should she aim?

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>

Explanation:

The diagram attached sketches the situtation.

Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.

Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:

  • x/4 = y/2 ⇒ x = 2y

You have other equation:

  • x+ y = 18

Substitute

  • 2y + y = 18
  • 3y = 18
  • y = 18/3
  • y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit

  • x = 2(6) = 12

Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4x¹⁰ = 2² * x¹⁰

   64x² = 2⁶ *x²

GCF = 2² * x² = 4x²

b) 4x¹⁰ - 64x² = 4x²*(x⁸ - 16)

                  =4x² *[ (x⁴)² - 4²]

                  = 4x² * (x⁴ + 4) (x⁴ - 4)

                  = 4x² * (x⁴ + 4)* [(x²)²- 2²]

                  =4x² * (x⁴ + 4) * (x² + 2)(x² - 2)

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form with the given slope and y-intercept
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Input work is the work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance. This is in contrast to output work which is a force that is applied by the body or system to something else. Output work is the work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance.Jan 15, 2020 hsysvd xhs dhdb shsbdhd dhs dys dhd shdbdyd hzgsvdyd xgdbd

What is the length of bd
NikAS [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

I would use the Pythagorean theorem to solve distances between 2 points, and this case is no exception.

We need to find the positive difference in their x coordinates and y coordinates.

The difference in x coordinates: 7

The difference in y coordinates: 8

Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

7^2+8^2 = x^2

49+64 = x^2

113 = x^2

x = sqrt(113)

Therefore, the answer is B.

A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stands expenses for the day are $210. Define your variables and write an inequality
Julli [10]
Given:

Let P= profit
let n= no. of tacos sold per day

Sol'n:

P= 3.25n-210
the profit needs to be positive, thus

3.25n>210

n>210/3.25

n> 64.615

they can only sell whole tacos, therefore they must sell at least 65 tacos to make a profit and that profit is:

P=3.25n-210

P=3.25*65 - 210

P= 211.25 -210

P= 1.25

$1.25 profit

A.(170+30)-41

Step-by-step explanation:

(170+30)-41=170+(30-41)

200-41=170+(-11)

159=170-11

159=159
