Answer:
403
Step-by-step explanation:
A construction crew wants to hoist a heavy
beam so that it is standing up straight. They
tie a rope to the beam, secure the base, and
pull the rope through a pulley to raise one
end of the beam from the ground. When
the beam makes an angle of 40 degrees with the
ground, the top of the beam is 8 ft above
the ground.
Th e construction site has some telephone
wires crossing it. Th e workers are
concerned that the beam may hit the wires.
When the beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with
the ground, the wires are 2 ft above the top
of the beam. Will the beam clear the wires
on its way to standing up straight?
<span>Math - Steve Thursday, April 16, 2015 at 6:22pmwe see that the length of the beam is
8/sin40 = 12.45 ft
At 60 degrees, the top is
12.45sin60 = 10.78 ft high
So, the wire is 12.78 ft up.
Since the beam is only 12.45 ft long, it will not touch the wires.</span>
Answer: X=2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
25*2-8x=12x-4
50-8x = 12x-4
subtract 50 from both sides
-8x = 12x-54
subtract 12x from both sides
-20x= -54
divide both sides by -20
X=2.7
Answer:
A i. a:c=3:10
ii. a:b:c=2:5:10
B i. x:z=2:5
ii. x:y:z=2:4:5
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) If a:b = 2:5 and b:c = 3:4, find (i) a:c(ii) a:b:c
a:b=a/b=2/5
b:c=b/c=3/4
a/b*b/c=a/c
2/5*3/4=a/c
6/20=a/c
3/10=a/c
Therefore, a:c=3:10
a:b:c
a:b=2:5
b:c=3:4
b is common to both ratios
The value of b in the first ratio is 5 and b is 3 in the second ratio
Lets take the LCM of both values
LCM of 5 and 3=15
So, we will change the value of b in the first ratio and second ratio to 15
By doing this, we will multiply the whole first ratio by 3
We have, 6:15
We multiply the whole second ratio by 5
We have, 15:20
Therefore a:b:c=6:15:20
=2:5:10
B. If x:y = 1:2 and y:z = 4:5,
x:y=x/y=1:2
y:z=y/z=4:5
x/y*y/z=x/z
1/2*4/5=x/z
4/10=x/z
2/5=x/z
Therefore, x:z=2:5
x:y:z
x:y=1:2
y:z=4:5
y is common to both ratio
Take the LCM of y values in both ratio
LCM of 2 and 4 =4
So,we will change the value of y in the first and second ratio to 4
By doing this, we will multiply the whole first ratio by 2
We have, 2:4
We will also multiply the whole second ratio by 1
We have, 4:5
Therefore, x:y:z=2:4:5
