Complete Question:
Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.
Write an equation using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.
How far are Ava's feet from the balloon?
Answer:
Ava's feet is 17ft away from the balloon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached image represents the scenario
Using Pythagoras theorem (from the attachment), we have:
Take square roots of both sides
Use the cross product to find the orthogonal vector, solve the parametric equation to see at which (t) the point + orthogonal vector intersects the plane, the distance is (t) * norm of vector
Answer:
105 shifts
Step-by-step explanation:
Hourly net rate of pay = $12
1 shift = 8 hours
⇒ net pay per shift = $12 × 8 = $96
Total cost = tuition + residence + books
= $4500 + $4800 + $700
= $10,000
To calculate how many shifts Joanne needs to work, divide the total cost by the pay per shift and round it up:
Number of shifts = total cost ÷ net pay per shift
= $10,000 ÷ $96
= 104.1666666...
= 105 shifts
<u>Note</u>: we need to round up, as if Joanne works 104 shifts, she will earn $9,984 which is not quite enough to pay for tuition, residence and books.
