Suppose there is a 1.2°F drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on

the ground is 56.9°F, what will be the temperature when the plane reaches an altitude of 6,000 ft?

Answer: $49.7^{\circ}F$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature on the ground is $56.9^{\circ}F$

temperature drop observed is $1.2^{\circ}F\ \text{per 1000 ft}$

The height of the plane is $6000\ ft$

The total increase in height per $1000\ ft$ is $6$ units

Temperature drop is

$\Rightarrow 1.2\times 6=7.2^{\circ}F$

The temperature at that altitude is

$\Rightarrow 56.9-7.2=49.7^{\circ}F$

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

Required

$a + b$

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}$

$AB = \sqrt{18}$

$AB = \sqrt{9*2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$AB = 3\sqrt{2}$

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}$

$BC = \sqrt{2}$

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}$

$CD = \sqrt{10}$

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{9 + 1}$

$DA = \sqrt{10}$

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

$Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}$

$Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

Recall that

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

This implies that

$a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

By comparison

$a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

$a = 4$

By comparison

$b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{10}$

$b = 2$

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

Explain how to add fractions with unlike denominators. Please be as specific as possible.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will use an example to try and show you how to do this.

If we have $1/2 + 1/3$ , we know that we don't have like denominators. We can change this by finding one. All we need to do is multiply our denominators. So in our example, that would be $2*3=6$ . Our new denominator would be 6. So now we would have $1/6 + 1/6$ which isn't the same as our old equation. That is because we haven't multiplied our top numbers yet. To do this, we need to multiply the top number by the opposite denominator like so, $3/6+2/6$ .

So our first fraction was

$1/2+1/3$

We then multiplied the whole fraction by the opposite denominator

$3/6+2/6$
