A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall is the fire hydrant?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

[tex]\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}[/tex]

[tex]h'=3[/tex]ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft

Identity:

An identity is an equality which is true for all values of a variable in the equality.

(a + b)³ = a³+ b³+ 3ab(a + b)

In an identity the right hand side expression is called expanded form of the left hand side expression.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

(i) (2x + 1)³

Using identity

(a + b)³ = a³+ b³+ 3ab(a + b)

(2x + 1)³

= (2x)³ + 1³ + (3×2x×1)(2x + 1)

= 8x³+ 1 + 6x(2x + 1)

= 8x³ + 1 + 12x² + 6x

(ii) (2a – 3b)³

Using identity,

(a – b)³ = a³–b³ – 3ab(a – b)

(2a – 3b)³ = (2a)³– (3b)³ – (3×2a×3b)(2a – 3b)

=8a³–27b³–18ab(2a –3b)

= 8a³–27b³–36a²b + 54ab²

(iii) [3x/2  + 1]³

Using identity,

(a + b)³ = a³+ b³+ 3ab(a + b)

[3x/2 +1]³

=(3x/2)³+1³+ (3×(3x/2)×1)(3x/2+ 1)

=27x³/8+1+9/2x×(3x/2+1)

= 27x³/8 + 1 + 27/4 x² + 9/2x

= (27/8)x³ + (27/4) x² + 9/2 x + 1

(iv) [x–2/3 y]³

Using identity,

(a - b)³=a³-b³-3ab(a-b)

(X+ 2/3y)³

= (x)³–(2/3 y)³– (3×x×2/3 y)(x – 2/3 y)

= x³– 8y³/27–2xy(x – 2/3 y)

= x³– (8/27)y³–2x²y+ 4/3xy²

Which statement is true about the speeds of the two cars? A )Car 1 is traveling faster than Car 2. B )Car 2 is traveling faster than Car 1. C) The two cars are traveling at the same speed. D) The speeds cannot be compared because there is not enough information about car 2​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Car 2 is traveling faster than Car 1. Option B is correct.

Given that,
The table and equation below show the proportional relationship between time, in seconds, x, and distance traveled, in feet, y, for two remote-control cars.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as when an object is in motion, the distance covered by that object per unit of time is called speed.

here,
Speed of the car 1,
= 85 - 75 / 17 - 15
= 10 / 2
= 5 feet/second


Speed of the car 2,
y = 10x
Where 10 is the speed of the car 2 feet per second.
So,
Speed of the car 2  is faster than car 1.

Thus,  Car 2 is traveling faster than Car 1. Option B is correct.

Salesman Scott received $2,792.79 for selling a property. If the gross commission was 6.5 % of the sale price, the listing salesman received 12% of the gross commission and Scott received 45% of the balance, how much did the property sell for?

Answers

Answer: The property sold for $5,870.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the selling price of the property.

Then, gross commission = 6.5% of x = 0.065x

listing salesman received = 12% of ( 0.065x)  = 0.12 (0.065x) = 0.0078 x

Balance = x - ( 0.065x) -  (0.0078 x)

= (1+0.065-0.0078)x

= 1.0572x

Scott received = 45% of (1.0572x)

=0.45 (1.0572x)

= 0.47574x

Now, [tex]0.47574x=2,792.79[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{2792.79}{0.47574}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5870.41[/tex]

Hence, the property sold for $5,870.41.

minutes at the High School Both schools start lessons at 8:00 am
At what times between 8.00 am and 2.30p.m do the bells both rring

Answers

Find multiples of 30 and 40:

30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150

40: 40, 80, 120, 160

The least common multiple is 120, so every 120 minutes they willl both ring.

1 hour = 60 minutes:

120/60 = 2 hours.

The bells ring together every 2 hours.

8 + 2  = 10 am

10 +  = 12pm

12 + 2 = 2 pm

The bells will ring together at am, 12 pm and 2 pm.

Answer:

Solution :-

At first common multiple of 30 an 40

[tex] \sf \to \: 30 = 30,60,90,120[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to \: 40 = 40,80,120[/tex]

Common Multiple = 120

Time taken = 120/60 = 2 hrs

Now,

8.00 + 2 = 10.00 am

10.00 + 2 = 12.00 noon

12.00 + 2 = 2.00 pm

A water rocket is launched froni a platform. The height,
h in metres, of the water rocket at time & seconds after
it is launched is h= -212 + 74 + 4. When does the water
rocket hit the ground?​

Answers

Answer:

4.41seconds later

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the height reached by the water front be h = -2t^2+7t+4

The water hits the ground at h =0

Substitute

0 =  -2t^2+7t+4

-2t^2+7t+4 = 0

2t^2 - 7t - 8 = 0

t = 7±√(-7)²-4(2)(-8)/2(2)

t = 7±√49+64/4

t = 7±√113/4

t = 7±10.63/4

t = 7+10.63/4

t = 17.3/4

t = 4.41s

Hence the water hit the ground 4.41seconda later
