Answer:

7500 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

1 rotation of his bicycle tires is equivalent to 1 circumference in linear distance.

circumference = π*diameter = π*20 = 62.8 in

If 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches, then 62.8 in are equivalent to:

1 ft / x ft = 12 in / 62.8 in

x = 62.8/12 = 5.2 ft

If 5280 ft are equivalent to 1 mile, then 5.2 ft are equivalent to:

5280 ft / 5.2 ft = 1 mile / x mile

x = 5.2/5280 = 0.001 mile

So, when 1 revolution is made, 0.001 mile had been travelled. To compute the number of revolutions after 7.5 miles are travelled, the following proportion must be satisfied:

1 revolution / x revolutions = 0.001 mile / 7.5 miles

x = 7.5/0.001 = 7500 revolutions

Car b is 250 miles east from car a, car b is traveling west 60mph while car a is traveling north 80mph. What is the minimum dist

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d = 200 miles

t = 1.5 hrs after start

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the origin at car a starting point.

equation for distance to car b

x = 250 - 60t

equation for distance to car a

y = 80t

distance between car a and car b

d = √((250 - 60t)² + (80t)²)

d = √(62500 - 30000t + 3600t² + 6400t²)

d = √(62500 - 30000t + 10000t²)

d = 100√(6.25 - 3t + t²)

setting the derivative to zero

0 = 100t - 150 / √(t² - 3t - 6.25)

The denominator cannot be zero, so the numerator must

0 = 100t - 150

150 = 100t

t = 1.5 hrs

d = √((250 - 60(1.5))² + (80(1.5))²)

d = √(160² + 120²)

d = 200 miles

Meiko is hanging a picture collage on her wall. The dimensions of the collage are shown in the diagram. She plans to cover

alexira [117]

Answer: $\frac{A_{collage}}{15.75\ in^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you did not attach the diagram and I don't know the dimensions of the collage, I will give you a general explanation of the procedure you need to use in order to solve the exercise:

1. You need to use the formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

2. Using the formula, you must calculate the area of an small picture.

You know that its length is 4.5 inches and its width is 3.5 inches. Therefore, its area is:

$A_{picture}=(4.5\ in)(3.5\ in)\\\\A_{picture}=15.75\ in^2$

3. Calculate the area of the collage using the formula:

$A_{collage}=(l_{collage})(w_{collage})$

4. Finally, divide the area of the collage by the area of an small picture in order to find the number of small pictures that will fit within the collage:

$\frac{A_{collage}}{15.75\ in^2}$

An attic wall is in the shape of a trapezoid. The bases are 12 ft and 25 ft. The area is 185 square feet. What is the height? A

Drupady [299]

Answer: b = 2A - B

Step-by-step explanation:

2. A = 2 . 1/2 . h (B + b)

2A = h (B+b)

2A/= h/h . (B+b)

2A/h = B+b

2A - B = B - +b

b = 2A - B
