The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the lad

nekit [7.7K]

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have c squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.

Using the speed - distance relationship, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

Recall :

Distance = speed × time

Let time = t

At 10mph :

Distance = 10 × (t + 3) = 10t + 30 - - - (1)

At 12 mph :

Distance = 12 × (t - 2) = 12t - 24 - - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2) :

10t + 30 = 12t - 24

Collect like terms

10t - 12t = - 24 - 30

-2t = - 54

Divide both sides by - 2

t = 54 / 2

t = 27

Hence, the time left before the appointed time is 27 minutes.

Greg installed a circular drain that has a diameter of 4.8 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch what is circumference of the

My name is Ann [436]

The circumference of the drain to the nearest tenth is 15.10 inches.

<h3>What is the circumference?</h3>

The circumference of the drain is the distance round the drain. Since the drain has the shape of a circle, the formula used to determine the circumference of a circle would be used to determine the circumference of the drain.

Circumference of the drain = πd

3.14 x 4.8 =15.10 inches

A drug company conducts trials of a new vaccine for a rare but usually fatal disease. The company creates a

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

What can be said about the model are;

1) The company predicts 4 failures before success

2) Each trial is independent

3) The probability is the same for each trial

4) Success is defined as preventing the disease

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success for the vaccine, p = 0.2

Therefore, the probability that the vaccine is effective and prevents the disease = 0.2

A geometric distribution probability of success is given by the following formula;

P(X = x) = p × q⁽ˣ⁻¹⁾

The expected value, E(Y) = 1/p

The number of failures before success, E(Y) = (1 - p)/p = (1 - 0.2)/0.2 = 4

Where;

q = The probability of a trial failing = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

q = 1 - p

∴ The e

The geometric model criteria are;

a) Each trial can only have one of two outcomes success or failure

b) The probability of success for each trial is fixed

c) The geometric distribution is concerned with finding how many trials are required to get one success

d) The trials are independent

Therefore, we have;

The number of failures the company predicts before a success = 4 failures

2) The trials are independent

3) Each trial has an equal probability

4) Success is defined by the effectiveness of the vaccine in the prevention of the disease

I need a answer to this question please help

Since the triangles are similar, the slope of line segment AD and line segment BD are the same.
The initial value and slope of the graph are 66 and 44 respectively.

<h3>Why are the two slopes the same?</h3>

Considering the two right-angled triangles (ΔABD and ΔBCE) with the following points A(2, 154), B(1, 110), D(2, 110) and E(1, 66).

Since the triangles are similar, the slope of line segment AD is given by:

Tanθ = AD/BE

Tanθ = (154 - 110)/(110 - 66)

Tanθ = 44/44

Tanθ = 1.

Also, the slopes of line segment BD is given by:

Tan∅ = BD/CE

Tan∅ = (2 - 1)/(1 - 0)

Tan∅ = 1/1

Tan∅ = 1.

Therefore, the slope of line segment AD and line segment BD are the same because θ is equal to ∅.

<h3>What are the initial value and slope of the graph?</h3>

By critically observing the graph, we can logically deduce that the initial value of this graph is 66 and it represents the shark's distance at the initial time (0 minute).

For the slope, we have:

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = (154 - 66)/(2 - 0)

Slope = 88/2

Slope = 44.
