The length of a car is 4.5 meters.
The customary units - 12 inches = 1 foot
4.5 meters is about 177.165.
So, the length of a car in customary units would be 14.76375 units.....
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The distances and average speeds for the first two days driven are show below.
Step 1
We calculate the total distance covered in the first two days
First day: 6 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour
Hence:
1 hour = 60 miles
6 hours = x
x = 60 × 6
x = 360 miles
Second day: 4 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour
Hence:
1 hour = 65 miles
4 hours = x
x = 65 × 4
x = 260 miles
The distance covered for the first two days =
(360 + 260)miles
= 620 miles
Step 2
The total distance for the entire trip = 820 miles
Hence, the distance left to cover on the third day = (820 - 620)miles
= 200 miles
In the question, we are told:
If the average speed on the third day is 50 miles per hour,
The number of hours it will take for them to reach their family friends home is calculated using the formula
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 200 miles/50 miles per hour
Time = 4 hours
Given:
.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
In triangles ABC and ADE,
(Right angles)
(Common angles)
(AA property of similarity)
We know that the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. So,
On cross multiplication, we get
Therefore, the value of x is 
units.
Answer:
3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
After substitution of the givens, the expression 4.7j-6.8k takes on the value
4.7(5) - 6.8(3) = 23.5 - 20.4 = 3.1
Answer:
<u>Story</u>
Jane is 1.7 m tall. She stands 250 m away from the base of the Eiffel tower and looks up at the top of the building. The angle of elevation from her eyeline to the top of the building is 45°.
<u>Question</u>
Calculate an estimate of the height of the building. Give your answer to the nearest meter.
<u>Calculation</u>
Label the sides of the triangle O, A and H (where O is the side opposite to the angle, A is the side adjacent to the angle and H is the hypotenuse).
In the triangle, the angle and side A is known, and O must be calculated.
Therefore, use the trig ratio tan(x) = O/A:
⇒ tan(40) = O/250
⇒ 250tan(40) = O
⇒ O = 209.7749078...
Assume Jane's eye-level is approximately 1.5 m above the ground.
Therefore, the Eiffel tower is approximately:
209.7749078... + 1.5 = 211.2749078.. meters tall
Rounding to the nearest meter ⇒ 211 m
