Answer:

The height of the lamp post is 15 feet ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder , the lamp post and the ground formed a right triangle, the length of the ladder is its hypotenuse (l), the height of the lamp post (h) and the horizontal distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the base of the lamp post (d) are the legs of the triangle

By using Pythagoras Theorem ⇒ <em>the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs</em>

∵ l² = h² + d²

∵ The length of the ladder is 25 feet

∴ l = 25

∵ The ladder is placed 20 feet from the lamp post

- That means the distance between the base of the ladder and

   the base of the lamp post on the ground

∴ d = 20

- Substitute the values of l and d in the Pythagoras formula

∵ (25)² = h² + (20)²

∴ 625 = h² + 400

- Subtract 400 from both sides

∴ 225 = h²

- Take √  for both sides

∴ 15 = h

∴ The height of the lamp post is 15 feet

A lot with a depth of 80 feet and an area of 4,800 square feet was sold for $350 per front foot. What was the total sales price?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

total sales price =  $21,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

depth = 80 feet

area = 4,800 square feet

sold = $350 per front foot

to find out

total sales price

solution

first we get here front feet that is the front length of a parcel

front feet  = \frac{area}{depth}   ...................1

front feet  = \frac{4800}{80}

front feet  = 60

so total sales price will be

total sales price = 60 × $350 per front foot

total sales price =  $21,000

In triangle PQR, angle P is congruent to angle R and the measure of angle Q is twice the measure of angle R. Find the measure of
castortr0y [4]
∠P=∠R, ∠Q=2∠R
the three angles make a total of 180, so
∠P+∠R+∠Q=180
∠R+∠R+2∠R=180
∠R=45
∠P=45, ∠Q=90

The relation R is shown below as a list of ordered
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(1, 4) and (1,3), because they have the same x-value

Step-by-step explanation:

For a relation to be regarded as a function, there should be no two y-values assigned to an x-value. However, two different x-values can have the same y-values.

In the relation given in the equation, the ordered pairs (1,4) and (1,3), prevent the relation from being a function because, two y-values were assigned to the same x-value. x = 1, is having y = 4, and 3 respectively.

Therefore, the relation is not a function anymore if both ordered pairs are included.

<em>The ordered pairs which make the relation not to be a function are: "(1, 4) and (1,3), because they have the same x-value".</em>
