Answer:

Kite area formula

If you know two non-congruent side lengths and the size of the angle between those two sides, use the formula: area = a * b * sin(α) , where α is the angle between sides a and b .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the height (distance BC in the diagram) you need to know the distance from point D (the closer of the two measurement points to the kite) to the point directly under the kite, B. Once you know this distance then multiplying this by the tangent of angle b will give you the height.

A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 36m/sec reaches a height of s = 36t - 0.8 t^2 met

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a. The rock's velocity is $v(t)=36-1.6t \:{(m/s)}$ and the acceleration is $a(t)=-1.6 \:{(m/s^2)}$

b. It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock goes up to 405 m.

d. It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement. $v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}$
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. $a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

The rock's velocity is the derivative of the height function $s(t) = 36t - 0.8 t^2$

$v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36t - 0.8 t^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(36t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(0.8t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=36-1.6t$

The rock's acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function $v(t)=36-1.6t$

$a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36-1.6t)\\\\a(t)=-1.6$

b. The rock will reach its highest point when the velocity becomes zero.

$v(t)=36-1.6t=0\\36\cdot \:10-1.6t\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10\\360-16t=0\\360-16t-360=0-360\\-16t=-360\\t=\frac{45}{2}=22.5$

It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock reach its highest point when t = 22.5 s

Thus

$s(22.5) = 36(22.5) - 0.8 (22.5)^2\\s(22.5) =405$

So the rock goes up to 405 m.

d. The maximum height is 405 m. So the half of its maximum height = $\frac{405}{2} =202.5 \:m$

To find the time it reach half its maximum height, we need to solve

$36t - 0.8 t^2=202.5\\36t\cdot \:10-0.8t^2\cdot \:10=202.5\cdot \:10\\360t-8t^2=2025\\360t-8t^2-2025=2025-2025\\-8t^2+360t-2025=0$

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=-8,\:b=360,\:c=-2025:\\\\t=\frac{-360+\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2-\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 6.59\\\\t=\frac{-360-\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2+\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 38.41$

It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. It is aloft until s(t) = 0 again

$36t - 0.8 t^2=0\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}36t-0.8t^2\rightarrow -t\left(0.8t-36\right)\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\\\t=0,\:t=45$

The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

What is 1 1/3 as a improper fraction

Mumz [18]

Okay so for this all you have to do is add 1 to 1/3.

However, to do this you first need to convert 1 into a fraction.

1 = 3/3
3/3 + 1/3 = 4/3

Hope this helps :)

Each car in a rental fleet is either red or white, and there are 75 cars total. There are three more white than twice the number

professor190 [17]

Number of red cars = x
Number of white cars = y

x + y = 75
y + 3 = 2x

x + y = 75
y = 75 - x

(75 - x) + 3 = 2x
78 = 3x
26 = x

y + 3 = 2(26)
y + 3 = 52
y = 49

There are 49 white cars.

Cheryl pays $69 for 6 DVDs. How much would she pay for 4 DVDs?

Bad White [126]

$69 divided by 6 is 11.5. 11.5 times 4 equals $46.
