Mathematics

Answer: 17.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle LAY is a similar triangle to LYW. It has the same angle measures, but different side lengths. The hypotenuse of LAY is the line LY, while the hypotenuse of LYW is the line LW.

We can use the line LY to find LW.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find LY:

(3.5)^2 + 7^2 = 61.25

So, LY has a length of \sqrt{61.25}.

You can then use proportions to find the distance of LW.

The line LA is the base of the smaller triangle, and the line LY is the base of the larger triangle.

The line LY is the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle, and the line LW is the hypotenuse of the larger triangle.

\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{61.25} } =\frac{\sqrt{61.25} }{y}

You can then cross multiply to get this equation:

61.25 = 3.5y

So, the line LW has a length of 17.5.

PLEASE HELP I ONLY HAVE AN HOUR ​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A. I can't quite see the question, but I'm pretty sure it's A

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(A) = 1/3

Sin^2(A) + Cos^2(A) = 1

(1/3)^2 + cos^2(A) = 1

1/9 + cos^2(A) = 1

cos^2(A) = 1 - 1/9

cos^2(A) = 8/9

cos(A) = √(8/9)

√8 = √(2 * 2 * 2) = 2√2

√9 = 3

cos(A) = 2√2/3

A farmer who has fixed amounts of land and capital finds that total product is 24 for the first worker hired, 32 when two worker
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A. 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal product is the increase in output (units produced) resulting from employing one more worker. Therefore, the marginal product of the second worker (M2) is given by the difference between the total product with two workers and the total product with one worker.

M_2 =32-24\\M_2 =8

The answer is A. 8.
