How many 1/4 foot pieces can you cut from a 12 foot board

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two methods for finding the answer.

Method A.

In 1 foot, there are 4 1/4-foot pieces.

In 12 feet, there are 12 times as many as in 1 foot.

12 * 4 = 48

Method B.

Divide 12 ft by 1/4 ft.

12/(1/4) = 12 * 4/1 = 12 * 4 = 48

Answer: 48

If the angle of elevation of the sun is 61.7° when a building casts a shadow of 56.5 feet, what is the height of the building ro
maksim [4K]

SOLUTION

Let us use a simple diagram to interprete the question

In the diagram above, the dark stuff below represents the shadow and the rectangular bar represents the building. I have labelled the height of the building as h.

So we will use the right-angled triangle formed to find h

As we can see h represents the opposite side and 56.5 feet represents the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle. So we will use TOA

\text{TOA tan }\theta=\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}}

So we have

\begin{gathered} \text{ tan }\theta=\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}} \\ \text{ tan }61.7\degree=\frac{h}{56.5} \\ 1.8572015=\frac{h}{56.5} \\ \text{cross multiplying, we have } \\ h=1.8572015\times56.5 \\ h=104.931887 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 104.9 feet to the nearest tenth

If a population of 100 cells triples every hour, which function represents p(t), the population after t hours?
tia_tia [17]
Exponential functions are in the form f(x)=a*b^x, where <em>a</em> is the initial value, <em>b</em> is the growth rate (percent increase) + 1, and <em>x</em> is the number of time periods.  Our initial value is 100, and we're given the growth rate + 1 (tripling is the same as increasing by 200%; 200%=2.0; 2.0+1=3).  Therefore our function is p(t)=100*3^t.
