What is a 15 yard gain

1 answer:

7 0

Are you by any chance referring to football? If you are, it is either a play in which by running or passing the offense moves down the field towards the opponent's endzone 15 yards, or it can be obtained by the defense committing an egregious penalty, such as a facemask, unsportsmanlike conduct, or unnecessary roughness.

Answer:

2.8 t ≤ 12 tons , 16 t ≤ 48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of trucks on the bridge = t

Number of cars = 10

Total length of Bridge = 122 ft, and weight = 20 tons

Total length of Car = 7.4 ft, and weight = 1.2 tons

Total length of truck = 16 ft, and weight = 2.8 tons

Now, there are 10 cars on the bridge.

So, total length of bridge covered = 7.4 x 10 = 74 feet

Hence, the available length of bridge for trucks = 122 - 74 = 48 ft

Also, total weight of bridge covered = 1.2 x 10 = 12 tons

Hence, the available weight of bridge for trucks = 20 - 12 = 8 tons

Hence, according to the question:

2.8 t ≤ 12 tons and

16 t ≤ 48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
$\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
subtract terms
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right. = (-2x = -42)$
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32

Find the area of the regular 20-gon with radius 77 mm.

butalik [34]

The area of a polygon equals
area = circumradius² * number of sides * sin (360 / # of sides) / 2
area = 77² * 20 * sin (360 / 20) / 2
area = 77² * 20 * sin (18) / 2
area = 118,580 * 0.30902 / 2
area = 36,643.59 / 2
area = 18,321.8 square millimeters
