kirill115 [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry. The ladder and the building form a right triangle with the ground. You are given the length of the hypotenuse and the base angle. You use sine since we are trying to figure out the opposite side from the angle and we have the hypotenuse length. Sin = opposite/hypotenuse. So in this case, sin 60°= x/10. We solve for x by multiplying both sides by 10. Now x= sin 60° (10) = (0.8660)(10) = 8.7 m.

The area of a soccer field at 7700 yd.². The width of the field is 70 yards. What is the perimeter of the field?
mario62 [17]
Since you know the area and the width, you can divide the area by the width to find the length. This gives you a length of 110 yards. To find the perimeter of the soccer field, you would add all the side lengths together. Since the width is 70, you would add 70 + 70, along with the length, 110 + 110. This gives you a perimeter of 360.

Water tank A has a capacity of 550 gallons and is 66% full. Water tank B is 53% full. The ratio of the capacity of T. How much w
Anna71 [15]

Tank A capacity = 550 gallons       66% x 550 gallons = 363 gallons in Tank A

How about the water in tank B?

ratio of  11: 15      11/15 = 550/x          550 * 15/11 = cap B = 750 gal       53% 0f 750 = .53 x 750 = 397.5 gal in tank B

If alpha and beta are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x)= xsquare -8x +gamma such that alpha - beta = 2 find the value of gamma.
Komok [63]

Answer:

Γ = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 8x + Γ

with a = 1, b = - 8 and c = Γ , then

sum of zeros α + β = - \frac{b}{a} = - \frac{-8}{1} = 8

product of zeros = αβ = \frac{c}{a} = Γ

Given α - β = 2 , then

(α - β)² = 2²

α² - 2αβ + β² = 4 → (1)

and

(α + β)² = 8²

α² + 2αβ + β² = 64 → (2)

Add (1) and (2) term by term

2α² + 2β² = 68 ( divide through by 2 )

α² +β² = 34

Substitute α² + β² = 34 into (1)

34 - 2αβ = 4 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

- 2αβ = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

αβ = 15

Now

αβ = Γ = 15

Thus

f(x) = x² - 8x + 15

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3=4.5(x-2)
anyanavicka [17]
Hi there!

The Eqn. is :-

1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Combining the like terms :-

1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3

- 3x = - 15 + 3

- 3x = - 12

x = \dfrac {- 12}{- 3}

x = 4

Hence, the required answer is → x = 4

~ Hope it helps!
