Landon is standing in a hole that is 5.1 ft deep. He throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands

on the ground above. The path of the rock can be modeled by the equation y = -0.005x2 + 0.41x - 5.1, where x is the horizontal distance of the rock, in feet, from Landon and y is the height, in feet, of the rock above the ground. How far horizontally from Landon will the rock land?

This describes a parabolic path that starts at x=0 on a value of y = -5.1.  That's when the rock is below ground in the hole.  To find the answer we need to know the second x axis crossing.  The first is when it is rising and reaches ground level, the second is after it peaks and falls back to the ground and lands. Using the quadratic formula I get the two zeros of this function to be about
x= 15.29, and 66.71.  The rock then lands 66.71 feet from him horizontally.

Which is the height of the triangle?<br> ( PIC IS PROVIDE PLS HELP ME)
zysi [14]
<h3>Answer: 80 meters</h3>

This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).

So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2

x^2 + 3600 = 10000

x^2 = 10000 - 3600

x^2 = 6400

x = sqrt(6400)

x = 80

Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100

Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.

A rectangular prism has a length of  1 1/4 centimeters, a width of 4 centimeters, and a height of 3 1/4centimeters.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

16.25 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism is found using V = l*w*h. Here l = 1.25, w = 4 and h = 3.25. Substitute and simplify.

V = 1.25(4)(3.25)

V = 16.25
