Answer:

  (a)  412 ft

  (b)  276 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached diagram.

(a) The internal angle of triangle RBT at B is 90° -10° = 80°. Since we know lengths RB and BT, we can find the length RT using the law of cosines:

  RT² = RB² +BT² -2·RB·BT·cos(80°) = 190² +400² -2·190·400·cos(80°)

  RT² ≈ 169,705.477

  RT ≈ √169,705.477 ≈ 411.95

The guy wire to the hillside should be about 412 feet long.

__

(b) The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the shorter wire length.

  LM² = LB² +MB²

  LM = √(190² +200²) = √76,100

  LM ≈ 275.86

The guy wire to the flat side should be about 276 feet long.

The nature center has a fish tank
ANEK [815]

Answer:

288 small fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the volume of the prism, which would be the area of the base (length by width) and that by the height, that is:

a = l * w * h

l = 6

w = 4

h = 4

Replacing

a = 6 * 4 * 4

a = 96 cubic feet

they tell us that per cubic foot there is room for 3 small fish, therefore:

96 * 3 = 288

Which means that there are 288 small fish.

Balu and Pumba shared 2/3 of a cake. Balu got to eat three times as much cake as Pumba. What fraction of the whole cake did Balu
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake

Step-by-step explanation:

Balu and Pumba shared 2/3 of a cake.

Balu eats three times as much cake as Pumba.

So let's take the 2/3 they shared as a whole.

Let's Balu share be x

And pumbs share be y

X = 3y

But x + 3y = 2/3

Since x = 3y

Y = x/3

x + x/3 = 2/3

4x/3 = 2/3

X = (2*3)/(4*3)

X = 2/4

X = 1/2

Balu ate half of the whole cake

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake
