For this case we must find the current height of Osian. For this, we use the following rule of three:

1.5 m ----------------> 100%

x -----------------------> 120%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$x = \frac {120} {100} (1.5)\\x = 1.8 m$

Answer:

The current height of Osian is given by:

$x = 1.8 m$

Andrew is painting a wall on the side of his house. He has a 20 foot ladder wich makes a 79 degree angle with the ground. Standi

torisob [31]

Andrew can reach a maximum of $24.6ft$ high up the wall.

The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the $sine$ ratio. that is

$sin(72^\circ})=\dfrac{h}{20}$

where $h$ is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for $h$ , we get

$0.9816=\dfrac{h}{20}\\\\h=20\times0.9816\\\\h=19.632ft$

Since Andrew can reach an extra $5ft$ above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

$(19.632+5)ft=24.632ft\\\\\approx24.6ft$

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities ?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(12,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y\leq \frac{4}{3}x+5$ ----> inequality A

$y\geq -\frac{5}{2}x+5$ ---> inequality B

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must satisfy both inequalities (makes true both inequalities)

Verify each point

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each ordered pair in the inequality A and in the inequality B

case 1) (0,-1)

Inequality A

$-1\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5$

$-1\leq5$ ----> is true

Inequality B

$-1\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5$

$-1\geq 5$ ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 2) (0,3)

Inequality A

$3\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5$

$3\leq5$ ----> is true

Inequality B

$3\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5$

$3\geq 5$ ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 3) (-6,-6)

Inequality A

$-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(-6)+5$

$-6\leq-3$ ----> is true

Inequality B

$-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(-6)+5$

$-6\geq 20$ ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 4) (12,-6)

Inequality A

$-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(12)+5$

$-6\leq21$ ----> is true

Inequality B

$-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(12)+5$

$-6\geq -25$ ----> is true

therefore

The ordered pair is a solution of the system (makes true both inequalities)
