A light shines from the top of a pole 50ft high. a ball is dropped from the same height from a point 30 ft away from the light.

how fast is the ball's shadow moving along the ground 1/2 sec later? (assume the ball falls at a distance of s=16t^2 in t sec)

The speed of the ball is 
ds/dt = 32t
At t =1/2 s
ds/dt = 16 ft/s
The distance from the ground
50 - 16(1/2)^2 = 46 ft
The triangles formed are similar
50/46 = (30 + x)/x
x = 345 ft

50 / (50 - s) = (30 + x)/x
Taking the derivative and substituing
ds/dt = 16
and
Solve for dx/dt

Can someone help me with this question please !
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) A triangle which the angles ratio is 1 : 2 : 3 is a 30º - 60º - 90º right triangle.

b) The shortest side is opposite to the shortest angle. So, we can calculate it using sin 30º.

$\text{sin}(30\º)=\frac{\text{Opposite side to x}}{19} $

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{\text{Opposite side to x}}{19} $

$\text{Opposite side to x}= 9.5$

If asphalt pavement costs $0.70 per square foot, find the cost to pave the circular How much does it cost to pave this road?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Cost to pave the road = $4257

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pavement = Area of the outer circle - Area of the internal circle

Area of the outer circle = πr²

                                       = π(55)²

                                       = 3025π square feet

Area of the inner circle = π(33)²

                                       = 1089π square feet

Area of the pavement = 3025π - 1089π

                                     = 1936π

                                     = 6082.12 square feet

Cost of pavement = $0.70 per square feet

Therefore, cost of 6082.12 square feet = 6082.12 × 0.70

                                                                 = 4257.49

                                                                 ≈ $4257

Cost to pave the road = $4257

David weighs 20 pounds more than katie while jonathan weighs 120 pounds less than three times katie's weight if david and jonoth
ladessa [460]
D = k + 20
j = 3k - 120
d = j

k + 20 = 3k - 120
20 + 120 = 3k - k
140 = 2k
140/2 = k
70 = k.....so Katie weighs 70 lbs

David and Johnathan each weigh 90 lbs
