The pole is 12 foot long.

The wire from the top to the ground, 6feet from the pole, forms a right angle triangle.

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

x² = 12² + 6²

x² = 144 + 36

x² = 180          Take the square root of both sides.

x  = √180              Use a calculator

x ≈ 13.42 feet.

Length of wire ≈ 13.42 feet.

62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:    

Actual demand = 59  

Previous forecast = 64  

Alpha = 0.3  

Now,    

The  forecast for the next period be using simple exponential smoothing will be given as      

= [ Alpha × Actual demand ] + [ (1 - Alpha) × Previous forecast ]  

= 0.3 × 59 + [ ( 1 - 0.3 ) × 64 ]    

= 17.7 + 44.8      

= 62.5

The depth of a lake in Lexington changes over time due to rainfall and evaporation. A few months ago, the depth was 1,300 feet.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The Depth of the lake had increased by 19%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Depth of lake few months ago = 1300 ft

depth of lake currently = 1547 ft

We need to find the percent of increase in depth of lake.

Solution:

First we will find the increase in depth of lake.

Increase in depth of lake can be calculated by subtracting Depth of lake few months ago from depth of lake currently.

framing in equation form we get;

increase in depth of lake = 1547-1300= 247\ ft

Now to find the percent of increase in depth of lake we will divide  increase in depth of lake from Depth of lake few months ago and then multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percent of increase in depth of lake = \frac{247}{1300}\times 100 =  19\%

Hence the Depth of the lake had increased by 19%.
