Let us find the length of rope Jules will need using the pythagoras theorem .

Width of the moat ( let the moat be the base of this triangle ) = 14 foot

Distance from Roma's window to the boat ( let this be the side of the triangle where the right angle is present ) =20 feet

Then the length of rope needed ( hypotenuse ) =

= Let us name the triangle that is formed as △ ABC . Then ;

In △ ABC :

AB = the width of moat ( leg of triangle ) = 14 foot

BC = The distance from the window to the moat ( base ) = 20 feet

AC = Length of rope needed ( hypotenuse ) =

= AB ² + BC² = AC² ( according to the pythagoras theorem the square on the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares on the other two legs )

= 14² + 20² = AC²

= 196 + 400 = AC²

= 596 = AC²

= 24 × 24 = AC × AC

= 24 foot = AC = length of rope needed by jules .

Therefore , Jules will need a 24 foot rope so that his girlfriend can slide down and escape from her apartment .

Use Ohm’s law to find the resistance of the light bulb if you had a 20 volt battery and 0.57 amps of current. Show your work for
aleksley [76]
For this case we have the following equation:
 V = I * R
 Where,
 V: voltage
 I: current
 R: resistance
 By clearing R we have:
 R = V / I
 Substituting the values:
 R = (20) / (0.57)
 R = 35.09 Ohms
 Answer:
 
The resistance of the light bulb is:
 
R = 35.09 Ohms

Tom works for a company his normal rate of pay 15 per hour
Brrunno [24]

The amount earned by Tom is the product of the <em>rate per</em> <em>hour and the number of hours</em> worked which is $90.

  • The amount earned per hour = $15

  • The number of hours worked = 6 hours

<u>The amount earned at the normal earning rate can be calculated thus</u> :

  • <em>Normal rate per hour × number of hours</em>

Amount earned = $15 × 6 = $90

Therefore, the amount earned by Tom after working for 6 hours at the normal rate is $90.
