Answer:

The length of the two pieces are 44 feet and 77 feet .

Option (D) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Mr. Stanton bought 121 feet of rope to repair a rope bridge. The ratio of the two pieces that he needs from the length he bought is 4 to 7.

Let us assume that the x be the scalar multiple of the two pieces .

One piece = 4x

Second piece = 7x

Than the equation becomes

4x + 7x = 121

11 x = 12

x = \frac{121}{11}

x = 11

Thus

One piece = 4 × 11

                 = 44 feet

Second piece = 7 × 11

                       = 77 feet

Therefore the length of the two pieces are 44 feet and 77 feet .

Option (D) is correct .

4:7
4+7=11
121 / 11 = 11
11*4=44
11*7=77

Answer = D, 44 feet and 77 feet

Ms. Mwanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver. She has an app on
Volgvan

Answer:

<em>The height of the bullding is 717 ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

The trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) are defined as relations between the triangle's side lengths.

The tangent ratio for an internal angle A is:

\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

The image below shows the situation where Ms. M wanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver.

The angle A is given by his phone's app as A= 82° and the distance from her location and the building is 100 ft. The angle formed by the building and the ground is 90°, thus the tangent ratio must be satisfied. The distance h is the opposite leg to angle A and 100 ft is the adjacent leg, thus:

\displaystyle \tan 82^\circ=\frac{h}{100}

Solving for h:

h = 100\tan 82^\circ

Computing:

h = 711.5 ft

We must add the height of Ms, M's eyes. The height of the building is

711.5 ft + 5 ft = 716.5 ft

The height of the building is 717 ft

Q.6. The equation of the ellipse whose centre is at the origin and the x-axis, the major axis, which passes
azamat

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Equation of the ellipse = 3x² + 5y² = 32

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<h2>Given:</h2>

  • The centre of the ellipse is at the origin and the X axis is the major axis

  • It passes through the points (-3, 1) and (2, -2)

<h2>To Find:</h2>

  • The equation of the ellipse

<h2>Solution:</h2>

The equation of an ellipse is given by,

\sf \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Given that the ellipse passes through the point (-3, 1)

Hence,

\sf \dfrac{(-3)^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{1^2}{b^2} =1

Cross multiplying we get,

  • 9b² + a² = 1 ²× a²b²
  • a²b² = 9b² + a²

Multiply by 4 on both sides,

  • 4a²b² = 36b² + 4a²------(1)

Also by given the ellipse passes through the point (2, -2)

Substituting this,

\sf \dfrac{2^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{(-2)^2}{b^2} =1

Cross multiply,

  • 4b² + 4a² = 1 × a²b²
  • a²b² = 4b² + 4a²-------(2)

Subtracting equations 2 and 1,

  • 3a²b² = 32b²
  • 3a² = 32
  • a² = 32/3----(3)

Substituting in 2,

  • 32/3 × b² = 4b² + 4 × 32/3
  • 32/3 b² = 4b² + 128/3
  • 32/3 b² = (12b² + 128)/3
  • 32b² = 12b² + 128
  • 20b² = 128
  • b² = 128/20 = 32/5

Substituting the values in the equation for ellipse,

\sf \dfrac{x^2}{32/3} +\dfrac{y^2}{32/5} =1

\sf \dfrac{3x^2}{32} +\dfrac{5y^2}{32} =1

Multiplying whole equation by 32 we get,

3x² + 5y² = 32

<h3>Hence equation of the ellipse is 3x² + 5y² = 32</h3>

Hannah has another candle that is 14 cm tall. How fast must it burn in order to also be 6 cm tall after 4 hours? Explain your th
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve!

We have to find out how much of the candle needs to be burned!

14cm - 6cm = 8cm

The candle must burn 8cm in 4 hours!

Lets find out how much the candle burns in 1 hour.

\frac{8cm}{4hours}= 2cm per hour

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Woohoo, We did it! <u>Would you like to mark my answer as brainliest?</u> I would love that!
