Answer:

14.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle;

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 15foot

The base of the ladder is the adjacent = 4feet

The height of th house is the opposite = x

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

15² = opp²+4²

opp² = 15²- 4²

opp² = 225 - 16

opp² = 209

opp = 14.45feet

Hence the ladder reaches 14.45 feet up the house

A pendulum is 45 cm long. When it swings, it travels along the arc of a circle and covers a distance of 27.5 cm. Calculate the a
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: The angle through which the pendulum travels = 35^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: Length of arc: l= r\theta , where r= radius ( in radians) , \theta = central angle.

Given: Length of pendulum (radius) = 45 cm

Length of arc= 27.5 cm

Put these values in the formula, we get

27.5=45\theta\\\\\Rightarrow\theta=\dfrac{27.5}{45}=\dfrac{275}{450}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \theta=\dfrac{11}{18}\text{ radians}

In degrees ,

\theta=\dfrac{11}{18}\times\dfrac{180}{\pi}=\dfrac{110\times7}{22} \ \ \ \    [\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}]

\theta=35^{\circ}

Hence, the angle through which the pendulum travels = 35^{\circ}.

Bob can ride his bike 6.5 miles in 20 minutes what is the rate of speed in miles per hour
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

19.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to change 20 minutes to hours

1 hours = 60 minutes

20 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = 1/3 hour

To find miles per hour we take the miles and divide by hours

6.5 miles

---------------- = 19.5 miles per hour

1/3 hours

What is the molar solubility of magnesium fluoride in a solution that is 0.40 m f− ions? the ksp of mgf2 is 6.4 × 10−9. hints wh
velikii [3]
<span>Answer: MgF2 ====⇒ Mg+2 + 2F- Ksp = [Mg+2][F-]^2 Let S = molar solubility of MgF2 [Mg+2] = S ; [F-] = 2s Since the [F-] is initially 0.40 M, then [F-] = 0.40 + 2S 6.4 x 10^-9 = (S) (0.40 + 2S)^2 ; one can neglect the 2S in the 0.40 + 2S expression since it is very, very small compared to the 0.40 already present. 6.4 x 10^-9 = S(0.40)^2 S = 4.0 x 10^-8 Molar solubility = 4.0 x 10^-8</span>

A group walked 3/8 mile in 1/5 hour. Which is the groups walking speed in miles per hour
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The groups walking speed is 1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}  or 1.875\frac{miles}{hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the distance by the time

so

\frac{(3/8)}{(1/5)}=\frac{15}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}

Convert to mixed number

\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}
