Answer:

27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance from base of lamp to tip of shadow

15 + 8 = 23

-------------------------

tan∅ = opp/adj

opp will be the height of the lamp

adj is 23

--------------------------

tan 50 = opp/23

multiply both sides by 23

23 * tan50 = opp

Use calculator

27.4 = opp

Rounded

27 feet

Solve for x. Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 2)(x + 5) = 0

x - 2 = 0       x + 5 = 0

x = 2             x = -5

smaller x = -5

larger x = 2

What is the rate of heat transfer required to melt 1-ton of ice at 32 F in 24 hours?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

3865.74 J/s

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of ice, m = 1 ton = 1000 kg

time , t = 24 hours

latent heat of fusion of ice, L  = 334000 J/kg

Heat required to melt, H = m x L

where, m is the mass of ice and L be the latent heat of fusion

So, H = 1000 x 334000 = 334 xx 10^6 J

Rate of heat transfer = heat / time = \frac{334\times 10^{6}}{86400}

Rate of heat transfer = 3865.74 J/s

thus, the rate of heat transfer is 3865.74 J/s.

Find x and the measure of each side. Round to two decimal places, if necessary.
natta225 [31]

The values of the triangles are as follows:

  • x = 7 units
  • GH = 21 units
  • HI = 21 units
  • GI = 12 units

<h3>How to find angles and side of a triangle?</h3>

The triangle is an isosceles triangle because two sides and angles are equal. Therefore,

4x - 7 = 2x + 7

4x - 2x = 7 + 7

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7 units

GH = 4(7) - 7 = 28 - 7 = 21

HI = 2(7) + 7 = 14 + 7 = 21

GI = 7 + 5 = 12

Although not so common now, consider a phone plan that does not have unlimited texting. Your base plan costs you $30 a month and
german

Answer:

The bill will be $26070.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your base plan costs you $30 a month

And each text sent or received is only 12 cents or $0.12.

Let the messages sent be = x

So, cost for messages become = 0.12x

Let total bill cost be = y

Now, total bill will comprise of monthly plan charges plus message charges.

So, equation forms:

y=30+0.12x

Now, given is that In one month 217,000 messages were sent between two brothers in Philadelphia.

So, their approximate bill will be :

y=30+0.12(217000)

=>y=30+26040

=> y = 26070

Therefore, bill will be $26070.
