A billiard ball is struck by a cue. It travels 100 cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 100 cm into a corner p

ocket. The angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 45 degrees. How far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball?

Answer:

76.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the triangle formed has 2 sides and an included angle ;

Angle, θ = C = 45°

We use cosine rule :

Taking the side to find as c

a = 100 ; b = 100

From cosine rule :

c = sqrt(a² + b² - 2abCosC)

c = sqrt(100² + 100² - 2(100*100)Cos45

c = sqrt(10000 + 10000 - 20000 * 0.7071067)

c = sqrt(20000 - 14142.135)

c = sqrt(5857.865)

c = 76.536690

c = 76.53 cm

laiz [17]
At the start you will start with $7 and $7.60 there is a simple way and a more complex process. The simple way is using the formula of y=mx+b so y=.8x+7 and the other way is just too add .8 to 7 and .7 to 7.6 and keep doing that till you get the answer. The answer is 7, seven topping have to be added to make them the same price.

a 5-gallon mixture contains 40% acid. A 3-gallon mixture contains 50% acid. what percent acid is obtained by putting the two mix
natta225 [31]

so the 5 gallons ones is 40% acid, how much acid solute is in it anyway? well just 40% of 5 or namely 0.4*5 = 2 gallons.

the 3 gallons one is 50%, likewise it has 0.50 * 3 = 1.5 gallons of acid solute in it.

\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{1st mixture}&5&0.4&\stackrel{(5)(0.4)}{2}\\ \textit{2nd mixture}&3&0.5&\stackrel{(3)(0.5)}{1.5}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixed&8&p&3.5 \end{array} \\\\\\ 8p=3.5\implies p=\cfrac{3.5}{8}\implies p=0.4375\implies p=\stackrel{\%}{43.75}
