On a morning of a day when the sun will pass directly​ overhead, the shadow of a 60​-ft building on level ground is 25 ft long.

At the moment in​ question, the angle theta the sun makes with the ground is increasing at the rate of 0.24 degrees​/min. At what rate is the shadow​ decreasing? Remember to use radians in your calculations. Express your answer in inches per minute.

Answer:

The shadow is decreasing at the rate of 3.55 inch/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building = 60ft

The shadow of the building on the level ground is 25ft long

Ѳ is increasing at the rate of 0.24°/min

Using SOHCAHTOA,

Tan Ѳ = opposite/ adjacent

= height of the building / length of the shadow

Tan Ѳ = h/x

X= h/tan Ѳ

Recall that tan Ѳ = sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ

X= h/x (sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ)

Differentiate with respect to t

dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt

When x= 25ft

tanѲ = h/x

= 60/25

Ѳ= tan^-1(60/25)

= 67.38°

dѲ/dt= 0.24°/min

Convert the height in ft to inches

1 ft = 12 inches

Therefore, 60ft = 60*12

= 720 inches

Convert degree/min to radian/min

1°= 0.0175radian

Therefore, 0.24° = 0.24 * 0.0175

= 0.0042 radian/min

Recall that

dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt

= (-720/sin²(67.38))*0.0042

= (-720/0.8521)*0.0042

-3.55 inch/min

Therefore, the rate at which the length of the shadow of the building decreases is 3.55 inches/min

the width of a rectangle is 8 feet and the diagnal length of the rectangle is 13 feet which measurement is closest to the length
____ [38]

Answer:

Well the whole answer is 10.246950 smth smth but I don’t have the multiple choices so your gonna have to round yourself

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so you have a weigh of 8 and a diagonal of 13.

If you look, theres a triangle there. One side has 8 and the diagonal that was cut forms a 13. So we have a leg and a hypotnuse. To find the other leg (length) just follow the Pythagorean theroum and solve for b or a.

Pythagorean theroum: a^2+b^2=c^2

Now subsitute c for 13 since its the hypotnuse and a or b as 8 but only one.

In this case I’m substituting a for 8.

8^2+b^2=13^2

Solve the squares

64+b^2= 169

Isolate the b

b^2=105

Now square root 105

√105 will give the answer above on a normal calculator but if you have to round, I don’t know what place but you can round.

Find the sale price of the item. Round to two decimal places if necessary. Original price: $71.00 Markdown: 33% The sale price i
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

8. $35.10

9. $59.63

10. $13.43

11. $70

12. Take the percent you pay (100-the discount) as a decimal and multiply it by the regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 22% off is the sale, then we spend 78% or 100-22-78. We use this percent byb  multiplying the price with a decimal. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

8. Percent off is 22%. We pay 78%=0.78.

45(0.78)=$35.10

9. Percent off is 33%. We pay 67%=0.67.

89(0.67)=$59.63

10. Percent off is 44%. We pay 56%=0.56.

23.99(0.56)=$13.43

11. Percent off is 75%. We pay 25%=0.25.

279.99(0.25)=$70

12. See explanation above.
