A 10-foot ladder touches the side of a building at a point 8 feet above the ground. At what height would a 22-foot ladder touch

the building if it makes the same angle with the ground as the shorter ladder? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

8.75 feet

<h2>Step by step:</h2>

Given that a 12 foot ladder leans against a building seven feet above the ground.

By using trigonometry ratio, the angle between the ladder and the ground will be

SinØ = opposite/ hypothenus

SinØ = 7 / 12

SinØ = 0.58333

Ø = Sin^-1(0.58333)

Ø = 35.69 degree

At what height would an 15 foot ladder touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground?

Using the same trigonometric ratios

SinØ = opposite/hypothenus

Sin 35.69 = opposite/ 15

Cross multiply

Opposite = 15 × sin 35.69

Opposite = 8.75 feet

Therefore, the ladder will touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground at height 8.75 feet.

A 500-gallon tank initially contains 220 gallons of pure distilled water. Brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon flows int
Wittaler [7]

Answer: The amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes is 36.52 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt in the tank is modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation, which states:

(Salt mass rate per unit time to the tank) - (Salt mass per unit time from the tank) = (Salt accumulation rate of the tank)

Flow is measured as the product of salt concentration and flow. A well stirred mixture means that salt concentrations within tank and in the output mass flow are the same. Inflow salt concentration remains constant. Hence:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = \frac{d(V_{tank}(t) \cdot c(t))}{dt}

By expanding the previous equation:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} \cdot c(t)

The tank capacity and capacity rate of change given in gallons and gallons per minute are, respectivelly:

V_{tank} = 220\\\frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} = 0

Since there is no accumulation within the tank, expression is simplified to this:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt}

By rearranging the expression, it is noticed the presence of a First-Order Non-Homogeneous Linear Ordinary Differential Equation:

V_{tank} \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + f_{out} \cdot c(t) = c_0 \cdot f_{in}, where c(0) = 0 \frac{pounds}{gallon}.

\frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}} \cdot c(t) = \frac{c_0}{V_{tank}} \cdot f_{in}

The solution of this equation is:

c(t) = \frac{c_{0}}{f_{out}} \cdot ({1-e^{-\frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}}\cdot t }})

The salt concentration after 8 minutes is:

c(8) = 0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}

The instantaneous amount of salt in the tank is:

m_{salt} = (0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}) \cdot (220 gallons)\\m_{salt} = 36.52 pounds

1. The great pyramid at Giza is the largest pyramid in the world, the area of its square base is 52,441 m squared, what is the l
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The length of each side of the base is 229\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^{2}

where

b is the length side of a square

In this problem we have

A=52,441\ m^{2}

so

substitute in the formula

52,441=b^{2}

Square root both sides

b=\sqrt{52,441}\ m

b=229\ m
