Ruby stands at 5 feet tall her shadow is 6 feet long how far is it form the top of her head to the end of the shadow

Mathematics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 7.81 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario forms a right-angled triangle where Ruby's height of 5 feet is the height of the triangle. Her 6 feet long shadow is the length of the triangle and the distance from the top of her head to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse.

This can therefore be solved by the Pythagorean formula:

c² = a² + b²

where ;

c = hypotenuse

a = height

b = length

c² = 5² + 6²

c² = 25 + 36

c² = 61

c = √61

c = 7.81 feet

What is the range of the function f (x)=3.2x for the domain (-4, -2, 0, 2, 4)?
Aneli [31]
So we don't have to multiply each domain, we just need to find the lowest and highest domain and put it into the equation (since we're just multiplying)
-4 and 4 are the lowest and highest.
3.2×-4=-12.8; this means that when 4 is put into the equation, it will be 12.8 since they're opposites.
So, the range is -12.8 to 12.8.

How to I solve problem 1?
Verdich [7]
#1

The uniforms are numbered 0, 1, 2, ..., 99. That's 100 numbers. Half of them are odd and half of them are even. So the probability that any one of the uniforms is odd is 1/2 just like the probability that any one uniform is even is 1/2.

(a) The numbers on the uniforms are independent of one another. That is, the number of her cross-country uniform does not in any way determine the number on her basketball uniform and vice versa. This means that we can find the probability that each is odd and multiply these together using what is called the counting principle. The probability that all are odd is:
(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8

(b) This is done the same way we did part (a). Since the probability of any one uniform being odd is the same as it being even (1/2), the answer here is the same: (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8

(c) This problem differs from that in (a) and (b). There is only one way for all three uniforms to be odd numbers: (odd, odd, odd) or all even (even, even, even). However, there are multiple ways for the uniforms to be two odd and one even. If the uniforms are listed in order: cross-country, basketball, softball we can get exactly one even in any of three ways:
even, odd, odd
odd, even, odd
odd, odd, even
The probability for any one of these possibilities is (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8 but since there are three way the probability that we get even exactly once is equal to (3)(1/8) = 3/8

The magnitude and direction of two vectors are shown in the diagram. What is the magnitude of their sum? ​
VLD [36.1K]

Separate the vectors into their <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components. Let <em>u</em> be the vector on the right and <em>v</em> the vector on the left, so that

<em>u</em> = 4 cos(45°) <em>x</em> + 4 sin(45°) <em>y</em>

<em>v</em> = 2 cos(135°) <em>x</em> + 2 sin(135°) <em>y</em>

where <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> denote the unit vectors in the <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> directions.

Then the sum is

<em>u</em> + <em>v</em> = (4 cos(45°) + 2 cos(135°)) <em>x</em> + (4 sin(45°) + 2 sin(135°)) <em>y</em>

and its magnitude is

||<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>|| = √((4 cos(45°) + 2 cos(135°))² + (4 sin(45°) + 2 sin(135°))²)

… = √(16 cos²(45°) + 16 cos(45°) cos(135°) + 4 cos²(135°) + 16 sin²(45°) + 16 sin(45°) sin(135°) + 4 sin²(135°))

… = √(16 (cos²(45°) + sin²(45°)) + 16 (cos(45°) cos(135°) + sin(45°) sin(135°)) + 4 (cos²(135°) + sin²(135°)))

… = √(16 + 16 cos(135° - 45°) + 4)

… = √(20 + 16 cos(90°))

… = √20 = 2√5

Alina [70]

Answer:

there are 1250 readers

Step-by-step explanation:

r = readers

4 percent of readers sent letter = 50 recieved letters

r * 4 percent = 50

r * .04 =50

divide by .04 on each side

r = 50/.04

r =1250
