Check the picture below.

thus then

\bf \begin{cases}
y=100-a\\
y=a\sqrt{3}
\end{cases}\implies 100-a=a\sqrt{3}\implies 100=a+a\sqrt{3}
\\\\\\
100=a(1+\sqrt{3})\implies \boxed{\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}=a}
\\\\\\
\textit{what is the altitude \underline{y} then?}\qquad y=100-a
\\\\\\
y=100-\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}\implies y\approx 63.39745962156~yards

Find x. Give reasons to justify your solution. b Lines AB and CD are straight lines.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines AB and CD are straight lines that intersects at O, it follows that the pair of opposite vertical angles formed are congruent.

Thus,

<AOD = <BOC

<AOD = 152°

<BOC = 3x + x + (x + 12) (angle addition postulate)

<BOC = 5x + 12

Since <AOD = <BOC, therefore,

152° = 5x + 12 (substitution)

152 - 12 = 5x (subtraction property of equality)

140 = 5x

140/5 = x (division property of equality)

28 = x

x = 28

Which expressions are equivalent to this expression?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Option B

Option C

Option D

All of these are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is correct because:

2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 4x + 4

=> 4x + 4 = 4x + 4

Option C is correct because:

x + 3x + 4 = 4x + 4

=> 4x + 4  = 4x + 4

Option D is correct because:

2(2x + 2) = 4x + 4

=> 4x + 4 = 4x + 4

Option A is incorrect because:

4(x + 4) = 4x + 4

=> 4x + 16 ≠ 4x + 4

Arnold is trying to make packing boxes out of 6 foot by 6 foot pieces of cardboard from the local grocer. Help Arnold decide how
lions [1.4K]
<span>Part I: Determining Dimensions

Arnold has been given a 6 foot by 6 foot sheet of cardboard to make an open box by cutting an equal size square from each corner, folding up the resulting flaps, and taping at the corners. Your task is to label dimensions on a sketch with the same size variable cut from each corner.

*You don't have to draw one, just explain what it would look like*


Answer:

Base of the box:

     it is a square
     side of the base = 6 foot - x - x. = 6 - 2x

Height of the box: x

Part II: Analyze

How does each variable expression relate to the length, width, and height of the box when folded?

Answer:

length = width = 6 - 2x
height = x


Part III: Extend your Findings
a. Based upon the variables you used in Part II, write a product for the volume.

Answer:

Volume = area of the base × height


Volume = (6 - 2x)² x

b. Expand the product to write a volume function.

Answer:

Volume = (36 - 24x + 4x²)x

Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³


c. What domain makes sense for the volume?

Answer:

Since x is a physical dimension x is greater than 0

Since the lenght of the cardboarc sheet is 6 and two squares are cut off, x has to be less than 3

So, the domain is (0, 3)


d. Guess and check values to find the size cut that produces a maximum volume.
*Six guesses are required*

Answer:

x              </span>Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³

0.1           36(0.1) - 24(0.1)² + 4(0.1)³ = 3.36
0.5           36(0.5) - 24(0.5)² + 4(0.5)³ = 12.5
1.0           36 - 24 + 4 = 16
1.5           36(1.5) - 24(1.5)² + 4(1.5)³ = 13.5
2.0           36(2) - 24(2)² + 4(2)³ = 8
1.7           36(1.7) - 24(1.7)² + 4 (1.7)³ = 11.49
1.2           36(1.2) - 24(1.2)² + 4(1.2)³ = 15.55

Then you can guess that the maximum volume is pretty close to 16 and it is whenx is close to 1.

Your food bill at a restaurant is $30. You leave a 20% tip. The sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost of the meal?
ohaa [14]
The total cost of the meal is $37.80

Given:
Food bill = $30
tip = 20%
sales tax = 6%

Tip and sales tax must be based on the food bill.

Tip = $30 x 20% = $6
Sales Tax = $30 x 6% = $1.80

Food bill :   30.00
Tip               6.00
Sales tax  <u>   1.80</u>
Total cost 37.80

From a random sample of 41 teens, it is found that on average they spend 43.1 hours each week online with a population standard
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that teens spend online each week.

Number of sample, n = 41

Mean, u = 43.1 hours

Standard deviation, s = 5.91 hours

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

43.1 ± 1.645 × 5.91/√41

= 43.1 ± 1.645 × 0.923

= 43.1 ± 1.52

The lower end of the confidence interval is 43.1 - 1.52 =41.58

The upper end of the confidence interval is 43.1 + 1.52 =44.62

Therefore, with 90% confidence interval, the mean amount of time that teens spend online each week is between 41.58 and 44.62
