Answer:
Solution 2. A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the ground. One leg is of length $1 ...
Missing: picture way barely
Step-by-step explanation:
A flagpole is originally $5$ meters tall. A hurricane snaps the flagpole at a point $x$ meters above the ground so that the upper part, still attached to the stump, touches the ground $1$ meter away from the base. What is $x$?
$\text{(A) } 2.0 \qquad \text{(B) } 2.1 \qquad \text{(C) } 2.2 \qquad \text{(D) } 2.4 \qquad \text{(E) } 2.5$
Solution 1
The broken flagpole forms a right triangle with legs $1$ and $x$, and hypotenuse $5-x$. The Pythagorean theorem now states that $1^2 + x^2 = (5-x)^2$, hence $10x = 24$, and $x=\boxed{2.4}$.
(Note that the resulting triangle is the well-known $5-12-13$ right triangle, scaled by $1/5$.)
Solution 2
A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the g
The z- score is the number of standard deviations from the mean value of the reference population.
For example: the z-score of 2 is 2 standard deviations above the mean.
The z -score of a value that is 2.08 standard deviations greater than the mean is 2.08.
We have equation:
p = number of phones left to repair
108 = initial amount at the start of week
23 = number of phones repaired each day
d = number of days she worked that week
Answer: 5.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Ling spent $23.96 on cooking fuel for an upcoming camping trip.
Total number of cans of cooking fuel bought = 4
So, the cost of each can = dollars
Hence, Ling paid $5.99 for each can of cooking fuel.
Answer:
206,762
Step-by-step explanation:
206,000 * 0.037 = 762.2
762.2 + 206,000 = 206,762.2, rounded to 206762
