Mathematics

Answer:

Original position: base is 1.5 meters away from the wall and the vertical distance from the top end to the ground let it be y and length of the ladder be L.

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=y^2+(1.5)^2=y^2+2.25 Eq1.

Final position: base is 2 meters away, and the vertical distance from top end to the ground is y - 0.25 because it falls down the wall 0.25 meters and length of the ladder is also L.

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=(y -0.25)^2+(2)^2=y^2–0.5y+ 0.0625+4=y^2–0.5y+4.0625 Eq 2.

Equating both Eq 1 and Eq 2: y^2+2.25=y^2–0.5y+4.0625

y^2-y^2+0.5y+2.25–4.0625=0

0.5y- 1.8125=0

0.5y=1.8125

y=1.8125/0.5= 3.625

Using Eq 1: L^2=(3.625)^2+2.25=15.390625, L=(15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder

Using Eq 2: L^2=(3.625)^2–0.5(3.625)+4.0625

L^2=13.140625–0.90625+4.0615=15.390625

L= (15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder

Jeff has a density of 1000 g/mL and a volume of 25-mL. What is Jeff’s mass?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

25,000 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found using the following formula:

d=\frac{m}{v}

If we rearrange the formula for m, mass, we will multiply both sides of the equation by v.

d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiplying the density by the volume.

Jeff's density is 1000 grams per milliliter and his volume is 25 milliliters.

d= 1000 g/mL\\v=25 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

m=d*v

m= 1000 g/mL * 25 mL

Multiply. When you multiply, the "mL" or milliliters will cancel out.

m= 1000 g * 25

m= 25000 g

Jeff's mass is 25,000 grams.
