Answer:

The approximate length of the pendulum is 46.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The time (t) of pendulum oscillation is given as;

$t = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

where;

L is the length of the pendulum

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² = 32.15 ft/s²

t is the time given as 2.4 π seconds

From the equation above, make L the subject of the formula;

$t = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} } \\\\\frac{t}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }\\\\(\frac{t}{2\pi} )^2 =\frac{L}{g} \\\\L = g*(\frac{t}{2\pi} )^2\\\\L = 32.15*(\frac{2.4 \pi}{2\pi} )^2\\\\L = 32.15 *1.44\\\\L = 46.296 \ ft$

Therefore, the approximate length of the pendulum is 46.29 ft

The closest option is 46.08 ft

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

x = 90°

y = 40°

z = 40°

Explanation (Concepts) :

A straight line has total 180° angle. A square has 4 sides of each 90° angle. A triangle is build up of 180° interior angle.

Workouts:

z + 90° + 50° = 180°

z = 180° - 90° - 50°

z = 40°

=================

x + 90° = 180°

x = 180° - 90°

x = 90°

==================

50° + 90° + y = 180°

y = 180° - 90° - 50°

y = 40°

How to find equation of line passing through the points (x,y)

DochEvi [55]

First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.

Linear function has a form of,

$y=mx+n$

Then calculate the slope m using the coordinates of two points. Let say A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2),

$m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now pick a point either A or B and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point A.

$y_1=mx_1+n$

From here you solve the equation for n,

$y_1=mx_1+n\Longrightarrow n=y_1-mx_1$

So you have slope m and variable n therefore you can write down the equation of the line,

$f(x)=m_{slope}x+n_{variable}$

Hope this helps.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

58.25

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the total cost of the meal, fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

First, find the cost of the meal, which is forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents.

To calculate the amount of the sales tax, use the proportion, amount of sales tax divided by cost of meal equals sales tax rate divided by one hundred.

Substitute the known values. Amount of sales tax divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals four point five divided by one hundred.

Cross multiply. One hundred times amount of the sales tax equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times four point five.

Divide both sides by one hundred to find that the sales tax equals two dollars and nineteen cents.

Then, to calculate the amount of the tip, use the proportion, amount of tip divided by cost of meal equals tip percent rate divided by one hundred.

Again, substitute the known values into the proportion, amount of tip divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals fifteen divided by one hundred.

Then, cross multiply. One hundred times amount of tip equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times fifteen.

And, divide both sides by one hundred to find that the tip equals seven dollars and thirty-one cents.

Finally, add the amounts together to find the total cost of the meal was fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.
