A structural steel fabricator cuts 25 pieces each 16.2 centimeters long from a 6.35-meter length
Daniel [21]

Answer: 2.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

The initial piece is 6.35 meters long.

We cut 25 pieces of 16.2cm each, so in pieces only we have:

25*16.2cm = 405cm

1m = 100cm

Then: 405cm = (405/100) m = 4.05m

And each time that we cut a piece, we have 4mm of waste.

Then we have 25 times the 4mm of waste, this means that the total waste is:

4mm*25 = 100mm

and 1000mm = 1m

100mm = (100/1000) m = 0.1m

So the total amount that was cut is:

4.05m + 0.1m = 4.15m

The length in the channel iron will be: 6.35m - 4.15m = 2.2 meters

A 4 metre ladder is placed against a vertical wall.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Original position: base is 1.5 meters away from the wall and the vertical distance from the top end to the ground let it be y and length of the ladder be L.

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=y^2+(1.5)^2=y^2+2.25 Eq1.

Final position: base is 2 meters away, and the vertical distance from top end to the ground is y - 0.25 because it falls down the wall 0.25 meters and length of the ladder is also L.

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=(y -0.25)^2+(2)^2=y^2–0.5y+ 0.0625+4=y^2–0.5y+4.0625 Eq 2.

Equating both Eq 1 and Eq 2: y^2+2.25=y^2–0.5y+4.0625

y^2-y^2+0.5y+2.25–4.0625=0

0.5y- 1.8125=0

0.5y=1.8125

y=1.8125/0.5= 3.625

Using Eq 1: L^2=(3.625)^2+2.25=15.390625, L=(15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder

Using Eq 2: L^2=(3.625)^2–0.5(3.625)+4.0625

L^2=13.140625–0.90625+4.0615=15.390625

L= (15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder

Identify the vertex of the parabola and tell whether it is a minimum or a maximum.
frozen [14]

Answer:

First parabola's vertex is (-2,2), which is a minimum.

Second parabola's vertex is (3,2), which is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply, a vertex of a quadratic is a graph's turning point.

The maximum and minimum can be identified by seeing if the graph curves up or down.

Maximum occurs when your graph is facing down.

Minimum occurs when your graph is facing up.
