Answer:

85.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

y = angle = 20°

Adjacent = 80 ft

Hypotenuse = ?

cos 20 = 80/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 80/cos 20

x = 85.134221798 ft

Approximately = 85.1 ft

Length of the slide = 85.1 ft

The length of a rectangle is five times its width.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 5w

A = l*w

180 = 5w *w

180 = 5w^2

Divide each side by 5

180/5 = 5w^2 /5

36 = w^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(36) = sqrt(w)^2

6 =w

l = 5w = 5*6 = 30

The perimeter is

P = 2(l+w)

P = 2(6+30) = 2(36) = 72

2.The mean area of several thousand apartments in a new development is advertised to be 1,100 square feet. A consumer advocate h

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = 1,100 square feet

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 1,100 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean area of several thousand apartments in a new development is advertised to be 1,100 square feet.

A consumer advocate has received numerous complaints that the apartments are smaller than advertised.

Let $\mu$ = mean area of several apartments.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = 1,100 square feet

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 1,100 square feet

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean area of apartments are same as advertised.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean area of apartments are smaller than advertised.

So, this would be the appropriate null and the alternative hypothesis to test this claim.

200 = 42 + 10h How many hours does this problem equate to?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

h = 15.8

Step-by-step explanation:

200 = 42 + 10h

10h = 200 - 42

10h = 158

h = 15.8
