A 20 foot rope is cut so that one piece is 5 feet longer than the other. Find the length of each piece

Mathematics
1 answer:
hammer [34]4 years ago
5 0

Let one piece of the rope be x

Let the other piece of rope be x + 5

These two pieces put together will make 20 feet.

So we say:

x + (x +5) = 20

What is x? We expand the equation.

x + x + 5 = 20

x + x = 20 - 5

2x = 15

x = 7.5

The shorter piece is  therefore 7.5 feet.

The longer piece is 7.5 + 5 = 12.5 feet.

Five less than half the distance from Delaney’s home to the mall is more than 6 miles.
vovikov84 [41]

let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall

 so half the distance would be 1/2x

then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5

and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6

What is the area of the sector shown in the diagram below?
Step2247 [10]
The formula to find the area of a sector = Ф*r²/2

Ф to be in radian, here Ф=45° =π/4

sector = 1/2(π/4)x 100
sector = 39.27 ≈39.3° (B)

A water balloon slingshot launches its projectiles essentially from ground level at a speed of 25.5 m/s . (You can ignore air re
lozanna [386]
A) The longest horizontal distance is reached at 45 degrees angle. This is true for any projectile launch.

B) First, calculate fligth time (using the vertical motion) and then calculate the horizontal movement.

Flight time = 2* ascendent time

ascendent time => final vertical velocity, Vy, = 0

sin(45) = Voy / Vo => Voy = Vosin(45) = 25.5 m/s * (√2) / 2 = 18.03 m/s

Vy = Voy - gt = 0  => Voy = gt = t = Voy / g

Use g = 10 m/s^ (it is an aproximation, because the actual value is about 9.81 m/s^2 depending on the latitud)

t = 18.03 m/s / 10 m/s^2 = 1.83 s

This is the ascendant time going upward.

The flight time is 2*1.83 = 3.66 s

Horizontal motion

Horizontal velocity = Vx = constant = Vox = Vo*cos(45) = 18.03 m/s

Vx = x / t => x = Vx*t

Horizontal distance = xmax = 18.03m/s*3.66 s = 65.99 m

c) The time the ballon will be in the air was calculated in the part B, it is 18.03 s

What is the slope of these lines?<br> What is the equation of these lines?
Mashcka [7]
For both lines the slope is 5/2 or 2.5.
Since the y-intercept is zero for both, both the equations are:
y=2.5x
Or
y=5/2x
