A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The f

ly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. The scouts are building the frame for the fly with two poles slanted and joined together at the top of the tent. What is the minimum length of the slanted poles needed to support the fly?

Most of the information's required for finding the answer is already given in the question. 
Height of the fly = 12 feet
Width of the fly = 16 feet
Now we can find the length of the poles using Pythagoras theorem.

Length of the poles = square root [(12)^2 + (8)^2]
                               = square root (144 + 64)
                               = square root (208)
                               = 14.4 feet
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the height of the poles needed to be 14.4 feet. I hope the answer has helped you.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. As a formula, this is 
P = w + w + l + l = 2w + 2l = 2(w + l),
where P is perimeter, w is the width, and l is length.

Let's apply this formula to your question and substitute given information, then solve for l.
P = 2(w + l)
10x + 6 = 2(3x - 3 + l).
10x + 6 = 6x - 6 + 2l
4x +12 = 2l
l = 2x + 6

There are two different loci that cause white coat color in horses. One locus is the albino locus found in all mammals. Albinism
julsineya [31]

Answer: 6/12 are white, 3/12 are colored and 3/12 are albino.

Step-by-step explanation: If the horses are white and their parents are ccww (albino) and CCWw (white horse), according to Mendel's premises, they both must be CcWw, since the crossing provides one C from one parent and other c from the other parent, one W and the other w.  Using Mendel's chess and the principle of independent segregation, the crossing between CcWw results in the following fenotypical ratio:

1/16 CCWW (lethal)

2/16 CCWw (white)

2/16 CcWW (lethal)

4/16 CcWw (white)

1/16 CCww (normal)

2/16 Ccww (normal)

2/16 ccWw (albino)

1/16 ccWW (lethal)

1/16 ccww (albino)

Excluding the 4 individuals that have the lethal locus, we have 6/12 that are white (2/12 + 4/12) and 3/12 (1/12 + 2/12) that are colored. Also, there are 3/12 of albino individuals as well.

The water level of a certain body of water is changing at a rate of W(t)=3/4cos(4-t/2) inches per hour, where t represents hours
Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The integral \int\limits^{10}_{1 } {W(t)} \, dt means the total change in level of water in inches from 1 am to 10 am. That is the water level change measured in inches between 1 am and 10 am

b) 7 pm is represented as t = 19 hours, while midnight is represented as t = 24 hours, hence the water level change between 7 pm and midnight is:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\

c) Using casio calculator to evaluate the integral gives:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 2.54 inches

D) The total daily change in water level = \int\limits^{24}_{0 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 0.35 inches
