Complete Question:

Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.

Write an equation using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.  

How far are Ava's feet from the balloon?

Answer:

Ava's feet is 17ft away from the balloon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height = 8ft

distance = 15ft

The attached image represents the scenario

Using Pythagoras theorem (from the attachment), we have:

x^2 = 8^2 + 15^2

x^2 = 64 + 225

x^2 =289

Take square roots of both sides

x = \sqrt{289

x = 17

6b 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought. If he returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice, the expre
Julli [10]

The total cost of rice and beans bought by Gabriel is 6b + 4r.

The simplified expression of the final cost is 4b + 3r.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification can be defined as a process of replacing a mathematical expression by the cancellation of common factors, regrouping of terms in the same variable to get the more simple form of the given expression.

Given that

6b + 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought.

He returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice.

This can be written as,

\rm 2b+1r

Then, the total number of bags of rice and beans is given as,

\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)

When we simplify the above equation, we get,

\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)\\\\6b+4r-2b-1r\\\\4r+3r

Hence we can conclude that the expression for rice and beans after the return is (4b+3r).

how do graphs of y=1/x and y=5/(x+6) compare? I know the second graph shifts to left by 6 units but does it move down and how ma
yawa3891 [41]
<span>By multiplying the first function with number 5, the graph will stretch by the order of five, meaning that in the second graph every value of the x will correspond to the 5 times bigger value of y than in the first case. Due to the +6 component, the second graph shifts to the left by 6 units.</span>

The teacher collected some snowfall data during one of the snow days last year. Estimate the total snowfall throughout the day.
Sedaia [141]

The total snowfall throughout the day is the expected value of the distribution.

The estimated total snowfall during the day is 30 inches

Start by calculating the average rate of snow collected on that day.

Rate = \frac{0 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 2.0 +1.0 +0.5}{6}

This gives

Rate = \frac{7.5}{6}

Divide 7.5 by 6

Rate = 1.25

There are 24 hours in a day.

So, the total snowfall is:

Total  = Rate \times Hours

This gives

Total  = 1.25 \times 24

Multiply

Total  = 30

Hence, the estimated total snowfall during the day is 30 inches
