Answer:

12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the areas of the 2 top squares.

the area of a square is simply the square of its side length.

81 ft² means side length is 9 ft.

225 ft² means side length is 15 ft.

these are also 2 of the sides of the right triangle.

the third side we get by using Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the side opposite of the 90 degree angle.

so,

225 = 81 + x²

as x is also the third side of the triangle.

=> 144 = x²

x = 12 ft

For the past 25 days, jonathon has read for n minutes each day. His total number of minutes read is 875. Write an equation to ex

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Required equation is: 25n = 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of minutes Jonathon read per day

Now

He read for 25 days and total 875 minutes

The equation will be:

$25n = 875$

We can solve this equation to find the number of minutes each day

Using Division property of Equality

$\frac{25n}{25} = \frac{875}{25}\\n = 35$

Hence,

Required equation is: 25n = 875

A certain substance doubles its volume every minute at 9 AM a small amount is placed in a container ,at 10 AM the container was

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is

V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume

thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4 ...

therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain

V=V₀*2^-t

V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t

1/4 = 2^-t

appling logarithms

ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2

t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2

thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM

therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 14 and the fifth term is 20. If the first term is a1, which is an equation for the n

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The equation for nth term is 3n + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a1 be a,

a3 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 14 = a + (3 - 1)d

so, 14 = a + 2d

Now,

a5 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 20 = a + (5 - 1)d

or, 20 = a + 4d

now,

a + 4d = 20

a + 2d = 14

now,

a + 4d - ( a + 2d) = 20 - 14

or, a + 4d - a - 2d = 6

or, 2d = 6

so, d = 3

Now,

a + 2d = 14

or, a + 2(3) = 14

or, a = 14 - 6

so, a = 8

Now,

an = a + (n - 1)d

or, an = 8 + (n - 1)3

or, an = 8 + 3n - 3

so, an = 3n + 5
