Answer:

Jessica bought 2.25 yards more fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Jessica we will consider 5 to be 100% which is 1 in decimals (100÷100=1) of what she bought originally and since she bought 20% (which is 0.20 in decimals 20÷100=0.20) more then we have 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.20 = 1.20 of our original 5.  So now we multiply 5×1.20=6, so Jessica bought 6 yards.

Similarly we have Dan who bought 3 yards plus 25% more.  Well 25% is 0.25 and so: 100% + 25% = 125% = 1.25.  Now, we will multiply 3 × 1.25 = 3.75 yards.  Therefore, Jessica bought more fabric.  How much more? 6 - 3.75 = 2.25 yards more.

A telephone pole is 24 feet tall. a 26-foot guy wire is used to stabilize the pole. how far from the base of the telephone pole
padilas [110]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the base of the pole should be set 10 feet from the end of the wire.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs l_1 and l_2 of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2

In this problem, the distance is l_2, while the other measures are l_1 = 24, h = 26, hence:

24^2 + l_2^2 = 26^2

l_2 = \sqrt{26^2 - 24^2}

l_2 = 10

The base of the pole should be set 10 feet from the end of the wire.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = 8^{4} , then

8^{2x} = 8^{4}

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2
