A guy wire runs from the top of a cell tower to a metal stake in the ground. Lincoln places a 10-foot tall pole to support the g

uy wire. After placing the pole, Lincoln measures the distance from the stake to the pole to be 5 ft. He then measures the distance from the pole to the tower to be 14 ft. Find the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 right triangles are formed.

x is the angle btw wire and grnd

tan x = 10/5 = 2

tanx = ht of tower/(5+14)

2 = tower ht/19

tower ht = 38

length of wire =

$\sqrt{ {38}^{2} + {19}^{2} }$

The cost of 7 chairs and 2 tables is equal.If the cost of 6 chairs and 5 tables is 10575, find the cost of 12 chairs.

Igoryamba

Answer:

5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a chair and y represent the cost of a table. We can use this to set up a system of equations:

7x=2y

6x+5y=10575

We can solve this system using substitution.

Start by rewriting the first equation in terms of x.

$7x=2y\\\text{Divide both sides by 7}\\x=\frac{2}{7}y$

Substitute this into the second equation:

$6(\frac{2}{7}y)+5y=10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+5y+10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+\frac{35}{7}y=10575\\\frac{47}{7}y=10575$

Multiply both sides by 7

$47y=74025$

Divide both sides by 47

$y=1575$

This means...

$7x=2(1575)\\7x=3150$

Divide both sides by 7

$x=450$

One chair costs 450. Now, multiply this number by 12 to find the cost of 12 chairs.

$450*12=5400$

12 chairs cost 5400.

Use the confidence interval to find the estimated margin of error. Then find the sample mean. A biologist reports a confidence i

mash [69]

Complete Question

A biologist reports a confidence interval of (3.5,4.9) when estimating the mean height (in centimeters) of a sample of seedlings. What is the estimated margin of error and the sample mean?

Answer:

The margin of error is $E = 0.7$

The sample mean is $\= x = 4.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we are told that

The upper limit is $k = 4.9$

The lower limit is $r = 3.5$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{k - r}{ 2}$

$E = \frac{ 4.9 - 3.5 }{2}$

$E = 0.7$

Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as

$\= x = k - E$

=> $\= x = 4.9 - 0.7$

=> $\= x = 4.2$

Charlie reads quickly. He reads 1\dfrac371 7 3 1, start fraction, 3, divided by, 7, end fraction pages every \dfrac23 3 2 st

OLEGan [10]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of pages he will read in one minute is:

$2\dfrac{1}{7}\ \text{pages}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Charlie reads $1\dfrac{3}{7}\ \text{pages}$ in every $\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{minutes}$ .

We know that:

$1\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{10}{7}$

This means that:

Charlie reads $\dfrac{10}{7}\ \text{pages}$ in every $\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{minutes}$ .

This means that:

$\text{In}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{minutes he reads}\ \dfrac{10}{7}\ \text{pages}\\\\\text{Hence}$

$\text{In}\ 1\ \text{minute he will read}\ \dfrac{\dfrac{10}{7}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\ \text{pages}$

$\text{In}\ 1\ \text{minute he will read}\ \dfrac{10\times 3}{7\times 2}\ \text{pages}$

Hence,

$\text{In}\ 1\ \text{minute he will read}\ \dfrac{15}{7}\ \text{pages}$

Hence,

$\text{In}\ 1\ \text{minute he will read}\ \dfrac{15}{7}\ \text{pages}$

$\text{In}\ 1\ \text{minute he will read}\ 2\dfrac{1}{7}\ \text{pages}$
