Why would understanding perpendicular and parallel lines be extremely important to someone in construction? Provide an example o

Understanding perpendicular and parallel lines are extremely important, especially in the engineering field when building infrastructures or houses because they need to calculate how they will keep a building stable. For example, bridges we see have a lot of perpendicular and parallel lines, that's because without those the bridge can't hold itself up, it needs support from the metals that are parallel and perpendicular.

hope this helps!!

The length of a rectangle is 9 cm more then half the width. Find the length of the perimeter is 60cm
stira [4]

length = 1/2 w+9

perimeter= 60 =2(l+w)  

substitute in for length

60 = 2(1/2 w +9 +w)  

60 = 2 (3/2 w +9)

distribute

60 = 3w + 18

subtract 18 from each side

42 = 3w

divide by 3 on each side

14 = w

length = 1/2 w + 9

length = 1/2 (14) +9

              7 + 9

16cm

Sandy dropped a basketball from the top of her Mom's office building which is 72 meters tall. She discovered that the ball bounc
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

1.125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial height of the ball, h_{0}=72\textrm{ m}

Height after first bounce, h_{1}=36\textrm{ m}

Height after second bounce, h_{2}=18\textrm{ m}

So, the reduction in height after each bounce is half of the previous one. Thus, it follows a geometric sequence with the first term as 72 and common ratio of r=\frac{1}{2}.

Therefore, the nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:

h_{n}=h_{0}r^{n}

Here, n=6,r=\frac{1}{2},h_{0}=72. This gives,

h_{6}=72\times (\frac{1}{2})^{6}\\h_{6}=\frac{72}{64}=1.125\textrm{ m}.

Therefore, the height of the ball after sixth bounce is 1.125 m.

Consider the equation below: 3x - 4y = 10 Which equation represents the same thing, only rewritten?
valkas [14]

Assuming theres a multiple choice list to go with, but it wasnt provided.

if you isolate y to turn it into a y=mx+b equation, which is what this looks like,

4y+10 = 3x, next 4y= 3x - 10, assuming you isolate y again, then you divide the 4 to finish isolationg it leaving you with

y = 3/4x - 2.5

if this is incorrect please respond with answer choices and i will help from there,

hope this helped.

A business journal investigation of the performance and timing of corporate acquisitions discovered that in a random sample of 2
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

z = 1.960

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is:

p = 715 / 2684 = 0.2664

The standard error is:

σ = √(pq/n)

σ = √(0.266 × 0.734 / 2684)

σ = 0.0085

For α = 0.05, the confidence level is 95%.  The z-statistic at 95% confidence is 1.960.

The margin of error is 1.960 × 0.0085 = 0.0167.

The confidence interval is 0.2664 ± 0.0167 = (0.2497, 0.2831).

The upper limit is 28.3%, so the journal can conclude with 95% confidence that the true percentage is less than 29%.
