<h3>Miguel's Tower is the same height as Jacqui's Tower</h3>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Volume of Prism = Base Area × Height

Area of Square = (Side Length)²

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

Miquel's Tower Square Base Length = L₁ = 4 in.

Jacqui's Tower Square Base Length = L₂ = 6 in.

Volume of Miquel's Tower = V₁ = 128 in.²

Volume of Jacqui's Tower = V₂ = 288 in.²

<u>Unknown:</u>

Heigth of Miquel's Tower : Height of Jacqui's Tower = H₁ : H₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Volume of Prism.

$\texttt{Volume of Miguel's Tower} = (\texttt{Base Area}) \times (\texttt{Height of Miguel's Tower})$

$128 = (4)^2 \times (\texttt{Height of Miguel's Tower})$

$\texttt{Height of Miguel's Tower} = 128 \div 4^2$

$\texttt{Height of Miguel's Tower} = \boxed {8 ~ \texttt{inches}}$

$\texttt{Volume of Jacqui's Tower} = (\texttt{Base Area}) \times (\texttt{Height of Jacqui's Tower})$

$288 = (6)^2 \times (\texttt{Height of Jacqui's Tower})$

$\texttt{Height of Jacqui's Tower} = 288 \div 6^2$

$\texttt{Height of Jacqui's Tower} = \boxed {8 ~ \texttt{inches}}$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

Height of Miguel's Tower is the same as Height of Jacqui's Tower

Jacqui's tower is taller than miguel's. How did I manage to pull that out? I divide the volume by the product of the length and wide of the base tower and that should give me the height of the tower. <span />

Answer:

50 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

19 x 25= 475

1,425 - 475= 950

950 divided by 19 is 50.

(1 point) consider the function f(t)=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪0,−5,−6,6,t<00≤t<11≤t<7t≥7;f(t)={0,t<0−5,0≤t<1−6,1≤t<76,t≥7; 1. wr

sergij07 [2.7K]

$f(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Recall that

$u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Take it one piece at a time. For $t\ge0$ , we can scale $u(t)$ by -5:

$-5u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

If we shift the argument by 1 and scale by -5, we have

$-5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so if we subtract this from $-5u(t)$ , we'll end up with

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the next piece, we can add another scaled and shifted step like

$-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so that

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the last piece, we add one more term:

$6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

and so putting everything together, we get $f(t)$ :

$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)+6u(t-7)$
$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)-u(t-1)+12u(t-7)$

The larger of two number is 5 times the smaller. The difference between them is 36

Anestetic [448]

X = larger number, y = smaller number

x = 5y
x - y = 36

5y - y = 36
4y = 36
y = 36/4
y = 9

x = 5y
x = 5(9)
x = 45

ur numbers are 45 and 9 <==

Felicia wants to build a kite with the shape shown. If AC is 60 cm, how many centimeters are in the length of BD?

Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle AOB,

tan(30°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{BO}{OA}$

$OA=BO(\sqrt{3})$

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle BOC,

tan(60°) = $\frac{OC}{BO}$

OC = BO(√3)

OA + OC = AC

$BO(\sqrt{3})+BO(\sqrt{3}) =60$

2√3(BO) = 60

BO = 10√3

OC = BO(√3)

OC = (10√3)(√3)

OC = 30

By applying tangent rule in right triangle DOC,

tan(60°) = $\frac{OD}{OC}$

OD = OC(√3)

OD = 30√3

Since, BD = BO + OD

BD = 10√3 + 30√3

BD = 40√3

≈ 69.3
