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

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

$10x^2-19x+6$

Where x is time in minutes.

We need to find the appropriate form of the expression that would reveal the time in minutes when the trough is empty.

When the trough is empty the whole expression becomes equal to 0.

Substitute the whole expression equal to 0 and solve for x that will gives us the required expression.

$10x^2-19x+6=0$

$10x^2-15x-4x+6=0$

$5x(2x-3)-2(2x-3)=0$

$(5x-2)(2x-3)=0$

Now consider the provided option.

By comparison the required expression is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).

Hence, the correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).

The difference of two trinomials is x2 − 10x + 2. If one of the trinomials is 3x2 − 11x − 4, then which expression could be the

12345 [234]

Answer:

$4x^2-21x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Difference of two trinomials is $x^2 - 10x + 2$

One of the two trinomials is $3x^2 - 11x - 4$

To find:

The other trinomial = ?

Four options are:

$2x2 - x - 2 \\2x2 + x + 6 \\4x2 + 21x + 6\\ 4x2 - 21x - 2$

Solution:

Let the two trinomials be A and B.

Given A - B = $x^2 - 10x + 2$

B = $3x^2 - 11x - 4$

We have to find the other trinomial A.

A - B = $x^2 - 10x + 2$

A - ( $3x^2 - 11x - 4$ ) = $x^2 - 10x + 2$

$\Rightarrow$ A = $x^2 - 10x + 2$ + ( $3x^2 - 11x - 4$ )

$\Rightarrow$ A = $4x^2-21x-2$

So, the correct answer is $4x^2-21x-2$ .

(2 x 106) x (0.00009) = ?

RSB [31]

I think you meant to write

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009

First, convert 0.00009 to scientific notation:

0.00009 = 9 × 10 ⁻⁵

Then

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009 = (2 × 10⁶) × (9 × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = (2 × 9) × (10⁶ × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = 18 × 10¹

… = 1.8 × 10²
