If a rectangle measures 8 feet on the short side and 9.8 feet on the long side what is the area of the rectangle in square feet

Answers

To solve this, we are going to use the formula for the area of a rectangle: [tex]A=wl[/tex]
where
[tex]A[/tex] is the area of the rectangle
[tex]w[/tex] is the width of the rectangle 
[tex]l[/tex] is the length of the rectangle 

Since the short side of a rectangle is the width of the rectangle, [tex]w=8ft[/tex]. Similarly, the long side a rectangle is the length of the rectangle, so [tex]l=9.8ft[/tex]. Now we can replace those values in our formula to find [tex]A[/tex]:
[tex]A=wl[/tex]
[tex]A=(8ft)(9.8ft)[/tex]
[tex]A=78.4ft^2[/tex]

We can conclude that the area of our rectangle is 78.4 square feet.

Find the surface area

Answers

if you notice, the figure has two hexagonal faces and 6 rectangles.

now the rectangles are just 4x9 each, so their area is just 6(4*9) for all 6.

the hexagons has a distance from the center perpendicular to a side of 7.8, namely the apothem is 7.8, and since each side is 9 km long, the perimeter is 9+9+9+9+9+9.

since the area of a regular polygon is (1/2)(apothem)(perimeter), we can simply get the area of those two hexagons and the area of the rectangles, sum them up, and that's the surface area of the hexagonal prism.

A, toy company manufactures arcade games. They are marketing a new pinball machine to children. It is similar in size to the adult version of the same game.
Adult pinball machine GAME with base ME measuring 35 inches and sides measuring 56 inches. Child pinball machine G prime A prime M prime E prime with base M prime E prime measuring 14 inches

If the perimeter of the adult pinball machine is 167 inches, what is the length, in inches of Segment line G prime A prime? Type the numeric answer only in the box below.

Answers

The answer is 8. 

first of all you need to find the missing length on the adult version. 
so the work would be:
-add up all the known sides of adult so
(56+56+35)=147

-then take the total perimeter and subtract so
 167-147=20

-then you need to compare the two known sides of both the adult and kids version. so that would be the bottom line EM.
They are 35 and 14 so divide
35/14=2.5

Now you know the dilation so you can figure out the missing side GA on the childs by taking the missing side from the adult dividing by the dilation 2.5 to get the answer so
20/2.5= 8 

the answer is 8.

A right triangle has sides measuring 5 inches, 12 inches, and 13 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of this triangle ?

Answers

Please look up and apply Heron's Formula.  Start by calculating s, where
        a  +  b  +  c
s = -------------------
               2

Then calculate A:

A = sqrt[ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ]

Final answer:

The area of a right triangle with sides of 5 inches and 12 inches as the base and height, respectively, is 30 square inches, calculated using the formula A = (base × height) / 2.

Explanation:

The area of a right triangle is calculated by multiplying one-half the base by the height: A = (base × height) / 2.

In the case of a right triangle with sides measuring 5 inches, 12 inches, and 13 inches, the 5-inch and the 12-inch sides are the legs and thus can be used as the base and height. Using the formula for the area of a right triangle:

A = (5 × 12) / 2

A = 60 / 2

A = 30 square inches

Therefore, the area of this triangle is 30 square inches.

Equation (−x+3)^2 -2:

This equation is in the form of a quadratic function, y=a(x−h) ^2+k, where (h ,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex of the parabola is at (3,1), which matches the vertex of Graph A.

The coefficient a is negative, which tells us that the parabola opens downward.

The constant term k is −2, which tells us that the minimum value of the parabola is −2.

Equation (x−2)^2+3 :

This equation is in the form of a quadratic function, y=a(x−h) ^2 +k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex of the parabola is at (2,3), which matches the vertex of Graph B. The coefficient a is positive, which tells us that the parabola opens upward.

The constant term k is 3, which tells us that the minimum value of the parabola is 3.

Equation  −(x+2)^2 +3:

This equation is in the form of a quadratic function, y=a(x−h) ^2 +k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex of the parabola is at (−2,3), which matches the vertex of Graph C.The coefficient a is negative, which tells us that the parabola opens downward.

The constant term k is 3, which tells us that the maximum value of the parabola is 3.

Equation  2(x−2)^2 +3 :

This equation is in the form of a quadratic function, y=a(x−h) ^2 +k, where (h ,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex of the parabola is at (2,3), which matches the vertex of Graph D. The coefficient a is positive and multiplied by 2, which tells us that the parabola opens upward and is stretched vertically by a factor of 2.

The constant term k is 3, which tells us that the minimum value of the parabola is 3.

Find the equation of the line whose x-intercept is 8 and y-intercept is -2. write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Two points on this line are (8,0) and (0,-2).  The slope is thus

         0-(-2)
m = ---------- = 1/4
         8-0

The equation of the line is then y-0 = (1/4)(x-8), or y = (1/4)X - 2 (in slope-intercept form).

To determine the equation of the line with x-intercept 8 and y-intercept -2, the slope is calculated to be 1/4. Thus, the line's equation in slope-intercept form is y = (1/4)x - 2.

To find the equation of a line with an x-intercept of 8 and a y-intercept of -2, we'll first determine the slope of the line (m) and then use the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Two points on this line are (8,0) and (0,-2). The slope (m) of a line is calculated by the change in y divided by the change in x, which in this case is
(0 - (-2)) / (8 - 0) = 2 / 8 = 1 / 4.

Now we know the slope is 1/4 and the y-intercept (b) is -2, so the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y = (1/4)x - 2

Please answer will give brainliest

Answers

Let
x-------> Orville speed
y-------> Randy speed
t--------> Randy time

we know that
speed=distance /time
Orville traveled at a speed that was twice as fast as randy
so
x=2y------> equation 1

speed Orville
x=240/(t-1)------> equation 2

speed Randy
y=150/t------> equation 3

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
2y=240/(t-1)------> y=120/(t-1)----------> equation 4

equate equation 3 and equation 4
150/t=120/(t-1)------> 150*(t-1)=120*t----> 150*t-120*t=150
30*t=150-----> t=5 hours

Orville speed and time
x=240/(t-1)-----> 240/(4)----> 60 miles/hour
Orville speed is 60 miles/hour
Orville time is (t-1)----> 5-1-----> 4 hour

Randy speed and time
y=150/t-----> 150/5----> 30 miles/hour
Randy speed is 30 miles/hour
Randy time is t-----> 5 hours

the answers are
a) Orville speed is 60 miles/hour
b) Orville time is 4 hours
c) Randy speed is 30 miles/hour
d) Randy time is 5 hours


One hundred employees of a company are asked how they get to work and whether they work full time or part time. The table below shows the results. If one of the 100 employees is randomly selected, find the probability of getting someone who carpools or someone who works full time.

Full time Part time
Public Transportation 7 10
Bicycle 4 3
Drive alone 30 31
Carpool 6 9

Answers

The probability is 56/100, or 14/25 = 0.56.

These events are not mutually exclusive, meaning they can happen at the same time.  This means we use

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(carpool or full time) = P(carpool) + P(full time) - P(carpool & full time)

There are 6+9=15 people out of 100 that carpool.
There are 7+4+30+6=47 people out of 100 that work full time.
There are 6 people out of 100 that carpool and work full time.

This gives us
15/100 + 47/100 - 6/100 = 56/100
Final answer:

The probability of getting someone who carpools or someone who works full time is 0.36.

Explanation:

To find the probability of getting someone who carpools or someone who works full time, we need to add the probabilities of the two events.

The probability of getting someone who carpools is 6/100 and the probability of getting someone who works full time is 30/100.

So the probability of either event happening is (6/100) + (30/100) = 36/100 = 0.36.

However, I can help you understand how to solve such problem and you can apply the explanation in the triangles you have.

Now, when writing congruent triangles, the order of the letters is very important. This is because each side/angle in the first triangle is congruent to the corresponding side/angle in the second one.

In the given, we have:

Given : A geometric sequence 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, . . .

To Find:Find the 12th term

Solution:

0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, . . .

First term =a = 0.75

Common difference = [tex]r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1.5}{0.75}=\frac{3}{1.5}=2[/tex]

nth term of G.P. = [tex]a_n=a r^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a = First term = 0.75

r = common difference = 2

Substitute n = 12

[tex]a_{12}= 0.75 (2)^{12-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{12}= 0.75 (2)^{11}[/tex]

[tex]a_{12}= 1536[/tex]

Hence the 12th term in the geometric sequence. 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, . . . is 1536.

 graph 1 (from left to right)
 Answer:
 
graph 1 (from left to right)
Of course the answer would be the first option. If you observe, it is the only graph having the same endpoints pointing downward which means positive and even. If it's an odd degree, the endpoints of the graph will be different- either up-down or down-up. So the first option is the ckrrect answer. Just take note that the graph will be a hint that can tell you if it has an even or odd degree.

A fire truck has a ladder that can extend to 60 feet in length. the ladder can be safely raised to a maximum angle of 75o with the horizontal. disregarding the height of the fire truck itself, which is closest to the maximum height that the ladder can safely reach?

Answers

This is a problem on right triangle trigonometry. The hypotenuse is 60 feet and the unknown side is opposite the given 75-degree angle. Given these values, we will use the sine function. That is 
     [tex]sin\left(75^{\circ} \right)=\frac{h}{60}[/tex]

     [tex]h=60\cdot sin\left(75^{\circ} \right)=58\:feet[/tex]

The maximum height that the ladder can safely reach is closest to 58 feet

Final answer:

Using trigonometry and the sine function, the maximum height that the ladder can reach when raised to a 75-degree angle with a length of 60 feet is approximately 58 feet.

Explanation:

To determine the maximum height that a fire truck ladder can safely reach when it is extended to 60 feet in length and raised to a maximum angle of 75 degrees with the horizontal, we would use trigonometry, specifically the sine function. The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the opposite side (height in this case) divided by the hypotenuse (the length of the ladder).
Therefore, the maximum height (h) can be calculated using the formula:

h = Ladder Length × sin(Angle)

Where:

Ladder Length is 60 feet

Angle is 75 degrees

Plugging in our values we get:

h = 60 feet × sin(75 degrees)

Using a calculator, we find that:

sin(75 degrees) is approximately 0.9659.

Therefore:

h ≈ 60 feet × 0.9659

h ≈ 57.95 feet

The maximum height the ladder can safely reach when disregarding the height of the fire truck itself is approximately 58 feet.
