The San Andreas fault separates the pacific plates from the North America plate. The pacific plate moved northward relative to t

he North American plate at a rate of 5.7 cm/year. Currently LA and San Francisco are about 470km away from each other, how long will it take for LA and SF to be next to each other? Answer in years

Answer:

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8,245,614.04 years which is over 8 million years

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed with which the pacific plate moved northward relative to the North American plate = 5.7 cm/year = 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ km/year

The distance between current LA and San Francisco = 470 km

From the formula for speed, s, we have

Speed = Distance/Time

Therefore, Time, t = Distance/Speed

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is given as follows;

t = (Distance between LA and San Francisco)/(The speed with which the pacific plate)

t = (470 km)/(5.7 cm/year) = 470/(5.7 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁾) = 8245614.04 years

Therefore, the time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8245614.04 years.

The length of one base of a trapezoid is 19 less than five times the length of the other base. If the trapezoid has a height of
ycow [4]

The length of the longer base is 41 ft.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Lets assume, length of one base is x ft.

As, another base is 19 less than five times the length of this base, so the length of another base = (5x- 19) ft.

The trapezoid has a height of 18 ft and area of 477 ft²

Formula for Area of trapezoid, A=\frac{1}{2} (a+b)*h , where a, b = Two bases of trapezoid and h = height of the trapezoid.

Given in the question: A= 477 and h= 18

We have also two bases as: a= x and b= 5x-19

So, according to the above formula...

A= \frac{1}{2}(a+b)h\\\\ 477=\frac{1}{2}(x+5x-19)*18\\\\ 477=9(6x-19)\\\\477= 54x-171\\\\477+171=54x\\\\648=54x\\\\x=\frac{648}{54} = 12

So, length of one base is 12 ft  and another base =(5*12-19)ft =(60-19)ft = 41 ft

That means, the length of the longer base is 41 ft.

What is 1/2 plus 5/16
kompoz [17]
Convert the 1/2 to a number that has a 16 in the denominator
because you can only add or subtract numbers that have the same denominator
so 1/2 = 8/16

the 8 + 5 = 13
so  8/16 + 5/16 = 13/16

therefore your answer is 13/16

Write an expression that has a value of 18 using at least 3 different operations.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The expression  (2 x 3) + 13  - 1   on simplifying gives 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the outcome of the expression is 18.

Using at least three operations.

Here, we use three operations Addition = '+' , Subtraction =  '-' and

Multiplication  = 'X'

Take the number 2 and multiply it with other number 3.

We get 2 x 3  = 6

Take the product, add it with another number  13

So, 6+ 13=  19

Take the resultant and subtract 1 from it.

We get 19 - 1 = 18

⇒The combined expression is (2 x 3) + 13  - 1  = 18

The above expression on simplifying gives 18.
