Answer:

b = square root of 125

Put into calculator and put to 1dp

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The a and b are the two short sides and c is always the hypotenuse

We just put the numbers in

10^2 + b^2 = 15^2

Now we can rearrange so that b^2 is by its self on the left side

b^2 = 15^2 - 10^2

Now just solve by putting into calculator

b^2 = 125

And finally square root to get b^2 down to b

b = square root of 125

Put into calculator and put to 1dp

Answer: b= 11.2

10^2 + b^2 = 15^2

100 + b^2 = 225

b^2 = 125

b= $\sqrt{125}$

b= 11.2

The number of cubic feet of water in a curved container can be approximated by v = 0.95h2.9. use a calculator to find the amount

Sati [7]

The first thing we must do for this case is to rewrite the expression of the volume correctly.
We have then:
v = 0.95 * h ^ 2.9
Substituting the value of h we have:
v = 0.95 * (7.5) ^ 2.9
v = 327.6432831
round to the nearest tenth:
v = 327.6 feet ^ 3
Answer:
the amount of water in the container when h = 7.5 feet is:
v = 327.6 feet ^ 3

A group spends $277.50 to rent a total of 15 tubes. How many of each type of tube does the group rent?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The amount spent on each tube is $18.5

The total amount spent to rent 15 tubes by the group is $277.50.

Since they did not specify in the question the types of tubes they rented, we cannot determine each types of tubes that the group rented but we can determine the amount spent on each tube provided that they are all the same types.

∴

if 15 tubes = $277.50

1 tube = $x

By cross multiplying:

$\mathbf {\$(x) = \dfrac{ \$277.50 \times 1 \ tube }{15 \ tube}}$

$\mathbf {(x) = \$18.5}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the amount spent on each tube is $18.5
