Answer:

3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

\frac{9 ft}{1 in} = \frac{31.5 ft}{x in}

Cross multiply in order to solve for x:

9x = 31.5

Divide by nine:

x = \frac{31.5}{9}

Simplify:

x= 3.5

The slope intercept form of the line whose points are (1,5) and (-2,-4) is y=3x+2.

Given two points of a line (1,5) and (-2,-4).

We have to form an equation in slop intercept form.

Equation is relationship between two or more variables which are expressed in equal to form.Equations of two variables looks like ax+by=c.

Point slope form of an equation is y=x+mc where m is slope of the line.

From two points the formula of equation is as under:

(y-y_{1})=(y_{2} -y_{1} )/(x_{2} -x_{1} )*(x-x_{1})

where (x_{1} ,y_{1} ) and (x_{2} ,y_{2} ) are the points.

Putting the values of x_{1}=1, x_{2}=-2, y_{1}=5 and y_{2}=-4.

y-5=(-4-5/-2-1)*(x-1)

y-5=-9/-3*(x-1)

y-5=3(x-1)

y-5=3x-3

y=3x-3+5

y=3x+2

Hence the slope intercept form of the line having points (1,5)(-2,-4) is y=3x+2.

The diagram shows a 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm cube.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

8.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a 2-two-step Pythagoras theorem. (c^2 = a^2 + b^2)

Consider as such, If I were to draw a diagonal line along the base of the cube what is the length of the diagonal line. To find out that we use the theorem. We can substitute a for 5 and b for 5 as well. So

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 5^2 = c^2

25 + 25 = c^2

√50 = c

Then since the line side of the cube is on a 3d angle we need to do the same process again but now using the imaginary diagonal line that we just calculated and the height (5).

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

√50^2 + 5^2 = c^2

50 + 25 = c^2

√75 = c

c = 8.6602...

<em>when rounded to 1 d.p.</em>

c = 8.7

Line AB is 8.7 cm long.

Louisa ran at an average speed of five miles per hour along an entire circular park path. Calvin ran along the same path in the
docker41 [41]

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the miles in the circular park path, t_{L} the time Louisa takes to finish and t_{C} the time Calvin takes to finish both in hours.

Then x, the longitude is equal to the velocity times the time used to finish. So

x=5t_{L}

x=6t_{C}

And the difference between Louisa's time and Calvin' time is 30 minutes, half an hour. So:

t_{C}=t_{L}-0.5

Three equations, three unknowns, the system can be solved.

Equalizing the equation with x :

5t_{L}=6t_{C}

In this last equation replace t_{C}  with the other equation and solve:

5t_{L}=6(t_{L}-0.5)\\ 5t_{L}=6t_{L}-3\\ 3=6t_{L}-5t_{L}\\ 3=t_{L}\\ t_{L}=3

With Louisa's time find x:

x=5t_{L}\\ x=5(3)\\ x=15
