A builder wants to build the bridge whose cross section is shown in the diagram. Two companies offer simple bids on building the

bridge according to the distance b and the number of​ I-beams. If the cross section could be redesigned for cost reasons in terms of​ b, what is the distance b for which the companies would have the same bid on the​ project?

The length of the bridge is the distance from the beginning to the end.

<em>The distance b between each beam is 9ft.</em>

Let:

<em />I \to<em> I-Beam</em>

<em />d_I \to<em> distance between I beam and the bridge</em>

<em />b \to<em> distance between each I beam</em>

<em />

Given that:

I = \frac 34 ft\\

d_I = 3 ft

<em />Length = 55ft\ 6in<em> --- length of the  bridge</em>

<em />

From the diagram (see attachment), there are: 6 I-beams.

So, the length of the 6 I-beams is:

L_1 = 6 \times I

L_1 = 6 \times \frac 34

L_1 = \frac {18}4

L_1 = 4.5ft

There are 2 I-beams beside the bridge

So, the distance between the 2 I-beams and the bridge is:

d_1 =2 \times d_I

d_1 =2 \times 3ft

d_1 =6ft

There are 5 spaces between the I-beams

So, the length of the total spaces is:

L_2 = 5 \times b

L_2 = 5b

The total length is:

Length = L_1 + d_1 + L_2

So, we have:

4.5ft + 6ft + 5b = 55ft\ 6in

Collect like terms

5b = 55ft\ 6in - 4.5ft - 6ft

5b = 44.5ft\ 6in

Convert inches to feet

5b = 44.5ft\ + \frac{6}{12}ft

5b = 44.5ft\ + 0.5ft

5b = 45ft

Divide both sides by 5

b = 9ft

<em>Hence, the distance (b) between each beam is 9ft.</em>

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: Shoebuy.com

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $49.00 is $9.8. When you subtract $9.80 from $49, you end up with $39.2. Now to look at Crocs.com, in order to get the total, add the price of the shoes, $35 and the shipping cost, $4.30, you'll end up with $39.30. Because Shoebuy is $.10 less than Crocs.com, it is the better choice.

Answer:

y = 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the equation of the straight line

Using the coordinate (0, 0) and (200, 300)

Slope m = 300-0/200-0

m = 300/200

m = 1.5

Since the line pass through the origin, the y intercept is 0

Substitute m = 1.5 and b =0 into y = mx+b

y = 1.5x + 0

y = 1.5x

This gives the required equation

Answer:

B. 4, Heads

4, Tails

5, Heads

5, Tails

6, Heads

6, Tails

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cube is labelled 1 to 6 and the coin has a head or a tail, the only outcome when the number cube lands on a number greater than 3 means that the cube lands on 4 or 5 or 6.

On the other hand, the coin may give a head or a tail.

In light of this, the possible answers are;

4, Heads

4, Tails

5, Heads

5, Tails

6, Heads

6, Tails

Hence option B is right
