Answer:

8/3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

we can represent the given information on a table:

Kilometers        time (hours)

      2/5           ⇔         1 1/2

and since we want to know how many kilometers (x) will be paved on 10 hours:

Kilometers        time (hours)

      2/5           ⇔         1 1/2

        x             ⇔         10

The relationship these 3 numbers have can be described by using the <u>rule of three,</u> which is to multiply the cross quantities on the table (2/5 by 10) and then divide by the remaining amount (1 1/2):

x = \frac{2}{5}*10 ÷ 1\frac{1}{2}

x = \frac{20}{5} ÷ 1\frac{1}{2}

we use 1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

x = \frac{20}{5} ÷ \frac{3}{2}

and we make the division:

x = \frac{20}{5} ÷ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{20*2}{5*3}=\frac{40}{15}

we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator both by 5, and we get the result:

x = \frac{8}{3}

thus, in 10 hours the crew will pave 8/3 km. Which is about 2.66 km.

A boy, who is 5 ft. 6 in. tall, casts a shadow 2 ft long. Find the height of the pole if it casts a shadow 2 yards long.
GalinKa [24]

1 yard = 3 feet

2 yards = 6 feet

2 feet * 3 = 6 feet

 so 5.5 ft * 3 = 16.5 feet, so pole is 16 feet 6 inches

1. Use the cosine and sine functions to express the exact coordinates of P in terms of angle θ.
Luden [163]

Answer:

For a point defined bt a radius R, and an angle θ measured from the positive x-axis (like the one in the image)

The transformation to rectangular coordinates is written as:

x = R*cos(θ)

y = R*sin(θ)

Here we are in the unit circle, so we have a radius equal to 1, so R = 1.

Then the exact coordinates of the point are:

(cos(θ), sin(θ))

2) We want to mark a point Q in the unit circle sch that the tangent has a value of 0.

Remember that:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

So if sin(x) = 0, then:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = 0/cos(x) = 0

So tan(x) is 0 in the points such that the sine function is zero.

These values are:

sin(0°) = 0

sin(180°) = 0

Then the two possible points where the tangent is zero are the ones drawn in the image below.

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off this problem, we are given that the line AB is equal to the line CD. In addition to that, we are given that the line EF equally intersects line AB and line CD. This provides us proof that angle AGH is equivalent to angle DHG. From this information, we can solve this problem relatively easily.

Lets work with this equation:

80 = 5x

Next, divide 80 by 5.

\frac{80}{5} =x

16 = x

This means that x is equal to 16.

Two types of shipping boxes are shown below.
devlian [24]

Answer:

B. 3 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for surface area is:

2lw+2lh+2wh

Box F's surface area is just plugging in those variables

2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)=54

Box J's surface area is the same way

2(2)(4.5)+2(2)(3)+2(4.5)(3)=57

The difference is 57-54=3

The answer is B. 3 square ft
