Hi

5/7 = 10/14 = 15/21 = 20/28 ...

5×2 = 10
7×2 = 14

5×3 = 15
7×3 = 21

5×4 = 20
7×4 = 28

QUESTION 9

The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to $x\:cm$ and the hypotenuse is $2\:units$ .

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

$x^2+x^2=2^2$

This implies that;

$2x^2=2^2$

$2x^2=4$

$x^2=2$

$x=\sqrt{2}$

$x=1.414$

$x\approx1.4\:units$

QUESTION 10

The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to $x\:units$ and the hypotenuse is $7\:units$ .

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

$x^2+x^2=7^2$

This implies that;

$2x^2=7^2$

$2x^2=49$

$x^2=24.5$

$x=\sqrt{24.5}$

$x=4.95\:units$

QUESTION 11

Sam divided the square backyard into two sections along the 40ft diagonal.

Let one of the sides of the garden be $x\:units$ , then the other side of the garden is also $x\:units$ since it was a square backyard.

The diagonal is the hypotenuse which is 40ft and the two legs are $x\:units$ each.

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

$x^2+x^2=40^2$

$2x^2=1600$

$x^2=800$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{800}$

$\Rightarrow x=28.28$

The length of one side of the garden is approximately 28cm.

QUESTION 12

The hypotenuse of Nicole's right triangular support is 92cm long.

It was given that the two lengths of the triangular support are of equal length.

Let the two lengths of the triangular support be $l\:cm$ each.

We then apply the Pythagoras theorem to obtain;

$l^2+l^2=92^2$

$\Rightarrow 2l^2=8464$

$\Rightarrow l^2=4232$

$\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{4232}$

$\Rightarrow l=65.05cm$

Therefore Nicole needs $l+l=65.05cm+65.05cm\approx130cm$ of wood to complete the support.

The correct answer is A.

QUESTION 13

A 45-45-90 triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

Let the length of the two legs be $m\:inches$ each.

It was given that the hypotenuse of this triangle is $12\:inches$ .

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

$m^2+m^2=12^2$

$\Rightarrow 2m^2=144$

$\Rightarrow m^2=72$

$\Rightarrow m=\sqrt{72}$

$\Rightarrow m=8.49$

The length of one leg of the hypotenuse is approximately 8.5 inches to 1 decimal place.

QUESTIONS 14.

It was given that the distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet.

Since the baseball field form a square, the length of the baselines are all 90ft.

We want to calculate the distance from home plate to 2nd base,which is the diagonal of the square baseball field.

Let this distance be $d\:ft$ , then using the Pythagoras theorem;

$d^2=90^2+90^2$

$d^2=8100+8100$

$d^2=16200$

$\:d=\sqrt{16200}$

$\:d=127.279$

Therefore the distance from home plate to second base is 127 ft to the nearest foot.

QUESTION 15.

The distance from third base to first base is also 127 ft to the nearest foot.

The reason is that the diagonals of a square are equal in length.

A ship leaves port and travels due west for 30 knots, then changes course to S 30° W and travels 50 more knots. Find the bearing

leva [86]

Answer:

232°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.

30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))

= (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)

Then the angle from port is ...

arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle

The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.

QUESTION ON THE PICTURE

Helen [10]

Answer: 1 1/2
Explanation: the first number of the division problem stays the same but you flip the second fraction witch is 1/2 then that will be 2/1 then change the division symbol into a multiplication symbol and 3/4 times 2/1 and that equals6/4 and 6/4 is divisible by two so you divide 6/4 x 2. That equals 3/2 and you had to make that a mixed number so you divide two and 33 on the inside of the house and two on the outside. Two goes into threewants and when is your whole number and your remainder is one and one is your numerator and two is your denominator. You might understand it better if you see my work which a photo of it is down below.
