Jack and Jill are 20m apart. Jack sees the top of the building at 30 degrees and Jill sees the top of the building at 40 degrees. What is the height of the building

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the building seen by both Jack and Jill is 37m to the nearest whole metre.

Let the distance of Jill from the base of the building be represented with x while the height of the building be y so that by observation we get two right triangles with same opposite sides to the angles formed by Jack and Jill. We can solve for x and y using tangent of the angles as follows:

tan 40 = y/x {opposite/adjacent}

y = xtan40 {cross multiplication}

tan 30 = y/(20 + x)

y = tan30(20 + x)

Thus;

xtan40 = tan30(20 + x)

xtan40 = 20tan30 + xtan30

xtan40 - xtan30 = 20tan30 {collect like terms}

x(tan40 - tan30) = 20tan30

x = 20tan30/(tan40 - tan30)

x = 44.1230m

Putting the 44.1230m for x in y = xtan40 we have;

y = 44.1230m × tan40

y = 37.0236m.

Therefore, the height of the building approximately to the nearest whole metre is 37.

Answers

she wanted to buy 6 bottles.
the cost of 10 bottles was $12.
therefore we need to find the cost of one bottle and then find the cost for 6 bottles.                                           
if 10 bottles cost - $ 12                                                                                  
then 1 bottle costs - $ 12 / 10 bottles
                                         
here we divided 12 by 10 , cost of 1 bottle is 12/10 to find the cost of 6 bottles we have to multiply by 6 .12 / 10 x 6
                                                                                 
correct answer is therefore B. divide 12 by 10 and then mulitply by 6
Answer:

Option: B is the correct answer.

B.   Step 1:  Divide $12 by 10 to find out the cost of 1 bottle.

Step 2 :  Multiply that cost by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 10 bottles is: $ 12.

This means that the cost of 1 bottle is:

$ (12/10)=$ 1.2

( Since the cost of  1 bottle will be less and hence the total cost must be divided by the number of items in order to obtain the cost of 1 item)

and similarly in order to find the cost of 6 items we need to multiply the cost of 1 item by 6.

Hence, cost of 6 bottles of juice is: $ (1.2×6)=$ 7.2

Hence, the correct answer is:

B.   Step 1:   Divide $12 by 10 to find out the cost of 1 bottle.

Step 2:   Multiply that cost by 6.

Julia has to measure an object. She does not have a ruler. Tell what Julia could do to solve her problem.

Answers

pretty much and in short, make up your own measure.

so... say you can use a tie or something with length, and use that to measure whatever object you need it for.

for example, I can just grab a string, cut it, and measure something, and the measurement may just be that the object is my string 6 times, so I know the length of the object is 6 times the length of the string I cut.

it doesn't quite matter how long the string cut was, all that matters is that is relable or referenciable for reuse.  Later on I could always just get the string measure and convert it to metric, once I found a ruler  or imperial units.

but in the short run, it doesn't really matter the length of the string cut, all that matters is that is referenciable, the object will be 6 times my string cut, here, in France, in Pluto, in Andromeda, anywhere.

bear in mind that the measure units we use today, are only usable because they're referenciable, so if I tell you 15 inches of something, you know how much 15 inches is, so that's all that matters.

The point of intersection of the diagonals of a rectangle is 4 cm further away from the smaller side than from the larger side of the rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 56 cm. Find the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Answers

we have that
If you draw a diagram, and draw perpendiculars from the intersection to the sides of the rectangle, you will see they are the mid point of each side. 

see the attached figure

If the mid point of the smaller side is ---------> x.
The mid point of the larger side will be -----------> (x + 4) 
The full length if the smaller side will be 2x and the length of the larger side will be 2(x + 4) = 2x + 8 

The perimeter = 2 times the length + 2 times the width. 
2(2x + 8) + 4x = 56 
4x + 16 + 4x = 56 
8x = 40 
x = 5 
Therefore 
length = 2x + 8 = 18cm 
width = 2x = 10cm

Gaff has used 331/3 of his monthly minutes on his cell phone plan. If he already used 200 mintues, how many does he have left this month?

Answers

The first step to solve this problem is to compute for the total minutes allowable in his cell phone plan. To compute for this, you have to divide the number of minutes consumed by the fraction of the time consumed.

200 minutes / 33 1/3% = 600 minutes

To compute for the remaining minutes left for this month, you have to deduct the consumed minutes to the total allowable minutes in his plan.

600 minutes – 200 minutes = 400 minutes left

The area of Rectangle is length times of width.

The area of each rectangular face is length times width, so the top and bottom faces have an area of:

2 x (8 feet x 3 feet) = 48 square feet

The side faces also have an area of:

2 x (8 feet x 6 feet) = 96 square feet

The area of each triangular face is one-half the product of the base and the height, so the front and back faces have an area of:

2 x (0.5 x 3 feet x 6 feet) = 18 square feet

The total surface area of the ramp is the sum of the areas of all the faces:

48 + 96 + 18 = 162 square feet

If each square foot of wood of the ramp is sold for $3, then the ramp would sell for:

An open rectangular box having a volume of 108 in.3 is to be constructed from a tin sheet. find the dimensions of such a box if the amount of material used in its construction is to be minimal. hint: let the dimensions of the box be x in. by y in. by z in. then, xyz = 108 and the amount of material used is given by

Answers

It works out the the optimum box dimensions are those that make the lateral area twice the base area. Of course, the base is a square in order to minimize the lateral area for a given base area.

That being the case, the height of the box is half the base edge length and the dimensions are
.. x = y = 6 in
.. z = 3 in

_____
If x and y are the base dimensions, the volume is
.. xyz = 108
and we want to minimize the area
.. area = xy +2(x+y)z

These equations are symmetrical in x and y, so the solution will require x=y. Making that substitution, we have
.. x^2*z = 108
.. x^2 +4xz = area = x^2 +4x(108/x^2)

That is, we want to minimize x^2 +432/x. A graphing calculator finds the minimum at x=y=6, (and z = 108/x^2 = 3).
Final answer:

Given that the volume of a rectangular box is a product of its length, breadth, and height, we define our problem using the given volume of 108 cubic inches and the formula for the surface area of an open box. To find the dimensions that will use minimal material requires the application of calculus and optimization techniques.

Explanation:

In this problem, we know that the volume of the open rectangular box is 108 cubic inches. The volume of a rectangular box can be calculated with the formula V = xyz where x, y, and z are the length, width, and height. If we let the dimensions of the box be x, y, and z inches respectively, it means that the volume V = 108 = x*y*z.

The amount of material used or the surface area S of an open box (a rectangular box without a top) is given by the formula S = xy + 2xz + 2yz. Here, our task is to minimize this surface area.

To minimize the surface area, we need to employ calculus, specifically the concept of optimal control. However to apply calculus, we need to express S in terms of one variable. We can get this by expressing y in terms of x and z using the volume formula. This leads to a complex optimization problem that involves calculus.

[tex]9P3= \frac{9!}{(9-3)!} \\ \\ = \frac{9!}{6!} \\ \\ = \frac{9*8*7*6!}{6!} \\ \\ =9*8*7 \\ \\ =504 [/tex]

9! is expanded above using the following  factorial formula:

n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)....3.2.1

Answer:

The value of the expression is 504.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression [tex]9P3[/tex].

Now, [tex]9P3[/tex] represents the permutations of 9 objects which are taken 3 at a time.

Also, its value is given by,

[tex]9P3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}\\\\9P3=\dfrac{9!}{6!}[/tex],

where ! represents the factorial given by,

[tex]n!=n(n-1)(n-2)...3.2.1[/tex]

Math question help please!

Answers

It seems you have to find the ranges of the functions given: y = 3sin(x - π), y = 1 - sin(x), y = 3+4cos(x-π), y = 2+cot(x).

1) y = 3sin(x-π).

The function sine returns a value between -1 and 1, including those limits, so the range interal is [-1,1]  no matter what the input be.

Multiplying the function by the factor 3, stretches the range by that factor.

So, the range of the given function is [-3,3].

2) y = 1 - sin(x)

Againt the range of sin(x) is [-1,1], then when you subtract that from 1, the limits of 1 - sin(x) are: 1 - (-1) = 2 and 1 - 1=0, and any other value wiill be in that range.

So, the answer is [0,2]

3) y = 3 + 4cos(x - π).

The range of the cosine function is also [-1,1], so the range of cos(x - π) is [-1,1].

By multiplying by 4 you stretch the range by that factor, so the new range is [-4,4].

By adding 3, the new borders are 3 - 4 = -1 and 3 + 4 = 7, so the range of the given function is: [-1, 7].

4) y = 2+cot(x)

The range of cot(x) is (-∞,∞), so adding 2 does not modify the range

So, the range for the given function is (-∞,∞).

Be sure to understand how this work. For both functions sine and cosine the range is [-1,1], when you mutiply by a constant factor you scale the range by that factor and when you add a constant you translate the range by that number of units.
