Answer:

Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this step by step and try to visualize the situation.

• Carl: 73 inches tall

The second part of the question states that Carl's heigh is twenty-one inches less than two times Marcia's height. Add 73 + 21 to equal 94. Since Carl is 21 inches less that means that Maria is 21 inches more ( so that's why I added instead of subtracting) because we are trying to find Maria's equation.

Let x be Marcia's height

2x = 94

• The question staes that 73 is 21 inches less than two times Marcia's height which means that the equation 2x = 94 applies because 73 + 21 = 94

After simplifying the equation, we can get the answer that Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Carl = 73

Marcia = 2x - 21 = 73

Solution

2x - 21 = 73 Add 21 to both sides.

2x = 73 + 21 Combine

2x = 94 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 94/2

x = 47

The top and bottom ends of a windshield wiper blade are R = 24 in. and r = 14 in., respectively, from the pivot point. While in

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Area swept by the blade = 448 $in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc the wiper wipes is for 135 degrees angle.

So, find area of sector with radius 24 inches. And the find area of arc with r=14 inches.

Then subtract the area of sector with 14 inches from area of sector with radius as 24 inches.

So, area of sector with r=24 in = $\frac{135}{360} *\pi *24^{2}$

Simplify it,

=216 $\pi$

Now, let's find area of sector with radius 14 inches

Area of sector with r=14 in = $\frac{135}{360} *\pi *14^{2}$

Simplify it

=73.5 $\pi$

So, area swept by the blade = 216 $\pi$ -73.5 $\pi$

Simplify it and use pi as 3.14.....

Area of swept =678.584 - 230.907

=447.6769

Round to nearest whole number

So, area swept by the blade = 448 $in^{2}$

What is the total amount that Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 perce

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount Matthew's bank will receive after lending him $8,000 for four years at an interest rate of 6 percent, compounded annually.

The formula for compound interest is:

$A=P(1+r)^n$

Where A = future value

P= Principal Amount

r = interest rate

and n= time

So in the question we are given:

P= $8000

r = 6% or 0.06

t = 4 (since 4 yeras compounded annually)

A= 8000*(1+0.06)^4

A= 8000*(1.06)^4

A= 10099.81

So, total amount that Matthew's bank will receive is $10099.81.

A particle moves along a line with a velocity v(t)=t2−t−6, measured in meters per second. Find the total distance the particle t

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

10.67 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is given as;

v(t) = t² − t − 6

To get the distance, we will integrate the velocity equation.

x(t) = ∫v(t) = (t³/3) - (t²/2) - 6t

Thus, from t=0 seconds to t=4 seconds., we have;

(t³/3) - (t²/2) - 6t between 0 and 4.

Thus;

Total Distance = [(4³/3) - (4²/2) - 6(4)] - [(0³/3) - (0²/2) - 6(0)]

Total distance = (64/3) - 8 - 24 = -10.67 m

Distance can't be negative and so we take the absolute value which is 10.67 m
