Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios. Put the small triangle side over the large triangle side.
9cm 3x -20
---------- = ---------------- We need to add the sides to get to the larger triangle
72+9 cm 3x-20 + 56
We can cross multiply to solve
9 * (3x-20+56) = (72+9) * (3x-20)
Simplify
9*(3x+36) = 81*(3x-20)
Distribute
27x +324 = 243x -1620
Subtract 27x from each side
27x-27x +324 = 243x-27x -1620
324 = 216x-1620
Add 1620 to each side
324+1620 = 216x
1944 = 216x
Divide each side by 216
1944/216 = 216x/216
9=x
The work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²
<h3>How to calculate the work done by the person?</h3>
Since person pushing a 40 pound box up an incline that is 30 degrees above the horizontal and 100 feet long, the work done, W is
W = mgh where
- m = mass of box = 40 lb,
- g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² and
- h = height of incline = LsinФ where
- L = length of incline = 100 ft and
- Ф = angle of incline = 30°
So, W = mgh
W = mgLsinФ
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
W = mgLsinФ
W = 40 lb × 32 ft/s² × 100 ftsin30°
W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 100 ft × 0.5
W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 50 ft
W = 64000 lb-ft²/s²
So, the work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²

Nuke caught the ball after it was thrown 198ft
I manage to check the graph from other source. I think the answer will be "<span>The slope is 0.40 and it represents the cost per mile traveled."
