A suitcase measures 24 inches long and -8 i aches high. What is the diagonal length of the suitcase? (Pythagorean Theorem)

Mathematics

BartSMP [9]3 years ago

Answer:

Diagonal Length = 8\sqrt{10}  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The suitcase is a rectangle with one side being 24 and another side being 8.

The diagonal is the line through the middle connecting two opposite corners.

If we draw the diagonal, it creates a triangle with one leg being 24 and another being 8.

The diagonal is the "hypotenuse" of the triangle.

Now, the pythagorean theorem:

leg^2 + another leg^2 = hypotenuse^2

So, we substitute the values known and find the hypotenuse (which is length of the diagonal). Shown below:

24^2+8^2=h^2\\640=h^2\\h=\sqrt{640}\\h=\sqrt{64*10}\\h=\sqrt{64}\sqrt{10}\\h=8\sqrt{10}

We have written the answer in exact form (with radical in simplified term).

We also use the radical property  \sqrt{a*b}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}

Systems of the Body Constructed Response
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

note: there may be other possible explanations and more body systems can be involved and I can go into much greater detail

1: Nervous system signals your muscles in mouth to abduct and adduct as well as your salivary glands to produce saliva to break down the food, as well as prepare the stomach to digest the food

2: Muscular system moves muscles in mouth to break food down into smaller pieces so there is greater surface area for digestive enzymes to work on the food, then muscles in oesophagus move food to stomach, where stomach muscles churn the broken down food around to speed up digestion

3: Digestive system releases numerous digestive enzymes into the food to break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Small intestines absorb nutrients into bloodstream, and large intestine absorbs water.

4: Excretory system removes excess mostly dry waste through the anus as well as urine from ureter.

Find the product of the given polynomials. <br> (5x + 8 – 6r) (4 + 2r – 7)<br><br><br>​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 34r - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Organize it, variables first - as well as adding constants such as 4 and -7

(5x - 6r + 8) (2r - 3)

2. Start by multiplying the 5x by (2r - 3), then -6r, followed by 8

(10xr - 15x) + (-12r^2 + 18r) + (16r - 24)

3. Simplify

10xr - 15x - 12r² + 18r + 16r - 24

4. Order by greatest to smallest factorial

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 18r + 16r - 24

5. Combine like variables

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 34r - 24

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a ramp can rise no more than 1 ft for every 12 ft of horizontal distance. What
taurus [48]

Answer:

A. 4.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The horizontal distance for the ramp = 12 feet.

Maximum height of the ramp = 1 feet.

So, we get that the value of the angle 'x' made by the ramp with the ground is given by,

\tan x=\frac{perpendicular}{base}

i.e. \tan x=\frac{1}{12}

i.e. \tan x=0.0833

i.e. x=\arctan 0.0833

i.e. x = 4.8°

Thus, the maximum angle made by the ramp with the ground is 4.8°.
