Answer:

sqrt(73) = 8.54 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

My guess is without the legs.

The person bringing it in will not be able to get a table in that is longer than the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Givens

a = 8

b = 3

c = ??

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

8^2 + 3^2= c^2

64 + 9 = c^2

c^2 = 73

c = sqrt(73)

c = 8.54

The table can be no longer than 8 feet 5 inches about.

aleksklad [387]

The answer is A.5/8.

Why?

Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.

Hope this helps!

A rocket is launched straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 192 feet per second. The equation for the height of

Ivenika [448]

The equation for the height of the rocket at time t given

$h= -16t^2+192t$

We have to find the time t, when the rocket reaches 560 feet.

That means we have to find t when h = 560 ft. we will place 560 in the place of h to find t now.

$h= -16t^2+192t$

$560 = -16t^2+192t$

In the right side, we can check -16 is the common factor. So we will take out -16 from the rigbht side.

$560 = -16(t^2 - 12t)$

To get rid of -16 from the right side and move it to left side, we will divide both sides by -16.

$560/-16 = -16(t^2-12t)/-16$

$-35 = t^2 -12t$

Now we will move -35 to the righ side by adding 35 to both sides.

$-35+35 = t^2-12t+35$

$0 = t^2 -12t+35$

$t^2-12t+35 = 0$

We will factorize thee left side to find the values of t now. We need to find a pair of factors of 35 that by adding them we will get -12.

The pair of factors of 35 are -5 and -7 and by adding -5-7 we will get -12.

$t^2-12t+35 =0$

$(t-5)(t-7) =0$

So by using zero product property we will get

$t-5 =0$

$t-5+5 = 0+5$

$t=5$

Also $t-7 =0$

$t-7+7 = 0+7$

$t=7$

So we have got the rocket reaches at 560ft when t = 5 seconds and also when t = 7 seconds.

Now part b.

When the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground then the height or h = 0. So we will place h = 0 there in the equation.

$h= -16t^2+192t$

$0= -16t^2 + 192 t$

$0 = -16(t^2-12t)$

$-16(t^2-12t) = 0$

We will move -16 to the other side by dividing it to both sides.

$-16(t^2-12t)/-16 = 0/-16$

$t^2-12t = 0$

We will take out the common factor t from the left side. By taking out t we will get,

$t(t-12) = 0$

We will use zero product property now. By using that we will get,

$t = 0$

ans also $t-12 = 0$

$t-12+12 = 0+12$

$t = 12$

When the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground the time t can not be 0. When t =0, the rocket starts the trajectory.

So when the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground ,

then t = 12seconds.

So we have got the required answers.

Pyramid A has a triangular base where each side measures 4 units and a volume of 36 cubic units. Pyramid B has the same height,

omeli [17]

Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 81 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Pyramid A</u>

$s = 4$ -- base sides

$V = 36$ -- Volume

<u>Pyramid B</u>

$s = 6$ --- base sides

Required

Determine the volume of pyramid B <em>[Missing from the question]</em>

From the question, we understand that both pyramids are equilateral triangular pyramids.

The volume is calculated as:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where B represents the area of the base equilateral triangle, and it is calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where s represents the side lengths

First, we calculate the height of pyramid A

For Pyramid A, the base area is:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 4^2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 16 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 4\sqrt 3$

The height is calculated from:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

This gives:

$36 = \frac{1}{3} * 4\sqrt 3 * h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{3 * 36}{4\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{3 * 9}{\sqrt 3}$

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

To calculate the volume of pyramid B, we make use of:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Since the heights of both pyramids are the same, we can make use of:

$h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

The base area B, is then calculated as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * s^2 * sin(60)$

Where

$s = 6$

So:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 6^2 * sin(60)$

$B = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$B = 9\sqrt 3$

So:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * B * h$

Where

$B = 9\sqrt 3$ and $h = \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9\sqrt 3 * \frac{27}{\sqrt 3}$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 9 * 27$

$V = 81$
