What is the slant height of a square pyramid that has a surface area of 279 square meters and a side length of 9 meters?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

l = 11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = s² + 2s*l

Where "l" is the slant height

Given: Surface area = 279 ; side length s = 9

Now plug in these values in the above formula, we get

279 = 9^2 + 2*9*l

279 = 81 + 18*l

18l = 279 - 81

18l = 198

Dividing both sides by 18, we get

l = 198/18

l = 11 meters

Therefore, slant height of the square pyramid = 11 meters

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

The perimeter of square A is 28 feet less than the perimeter of square B. The area of square A is 161 square feet less than the area of square B. If x and y are the side lengths of square A and square B, respectively, what is the value of x + y?

Answers

x+y=23.

The equation comparing the areas of the squares would be:

x²=y²-161

This is because the area of a square is found by multiplying its length and width; if x is the length of the smaller square, and y is the length of the larger square, we know that x*x, the area of the smaller square, is 161 less than y*y, the area of the larger square.

The equation comparing the perimeters of the squares would be:

4x=4y-28

This is because the perimeter is found by adding all of the sides; x+x+x+x=4x.  Similarly, y+y+y+y=4y; however, the perimeter of the smaller square is 28 less than 4y.

Using the equation for the perimeters, we can isolate x.  Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 4y/4 - 28/4
x=y-7

Now we can substitute this into the equation for area:
(y-7)²=y²-161
(y-7)(y-7)=y²-161

Multiplying the binomials on the left we have:
y*y-7*y-7*y-7(-7)=y²-161
y²-7y-7y+49=y²-161
y²-14y+49=y²-161

We cannot have a variable on both sides; subtract y² from each:
y²-14y+49-y²=y²-161-y²
-14y+49= -161

Subtract 49 from both sides:
-14y+49-49 = -161-49
-14y = -210

Divide both sides by -14:
-14y/-14 = -210/-14
y=15

Substitute this back into the perimeter equation:
4x=4(15)-28
4x=60-28
4x=32

Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4=32/4
x=8

Therefore x+y=8+15=23.

Suppose the number of gallons of gasoline per day used by a car is normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 gallons and a standard deviation of 1.2 gallons.

What is the difference in gallons per day used by a car with a z-score of 3 and another car that has a z-score of 0?

A. 1.2

B. 2.6

C. 3.6

D. 4.6

Answers

The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.

The formula to calculate a z-score is:
[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex],

where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.  We have the z-scores so we must work backward:

[tex]3=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}\text{ and }0=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}[/tex]

For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:
[tex]3\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2\text{ and }0\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2 \\ \\3.6=X-2.2\text{ and }0=X-2.2[/tex]

Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:

3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2     and       0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X     and       2.2=X

The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.

If 1 Chinese yuan equals 0.1558 U.S. dollars, then 1 U.S. dollar equals approximately how many Chinese yuan?

A. 0.4185
B. 0.1558

D. 6.4185

Answers

the answer would be D just go 1 and then divide that by the 0.1558 and that would = 6.41848 but you want to round up when dealing with money hope this helps

Answer:

1 U.S. dollar equals 6.4185 Chinese yuans. The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first step is to get a fraction between the currencies. The fraction is obtained by dividing the 1 yuan by 0.1558 U.S. dollars.

[tex]fraction=\frac{1\, \, yuan}{0.1558\, \, U.S.\, \, dollars.}[/tex]

- The second step is to multiply the previous fraction by 1 U.S. dollar.

[tex]\frac{1\, \, yuan}{0.1558\, \, U.S.\, \, dollars}\times 1\, \, U.S.\, \, dollars[/tex]

As you can see, the U.S. dollar units can be cancelled and yuan remains.

[tex]\frac{1\, \, yuan}{0.1558}\times 1[/tex]

- The last step is to perform the division.

[tex]1\, \, U.S.\, \, dollars=6.4185\, \, yuans[/tex]

Thus, 1 U.S. dollar equals 6.4185 Chinese yuans. The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounding is the means the future value of an amount saved today while discounting means the present value of a future amount.

In other words, we discount to know the present value of $1 in the future while we compound to know the future worth of $1 saved today.

Let the value of the investment be x. if it is expected to double in n years then using the compound interest formula

fv = pv(1 + r)^n

where fv and pv are the future and present values respectively and n is the time, r is the growth rate

2x = x(1 + 0.03)^n

2 = (1.03)^n

log 2 = log (1.03)^n

= n log 1.03

n = log 2/ log 1.03

n = 23.44

This is approximately 24 years hence option D is right

In a statistics class there are 11 juniors and 6 seniors; 2 of the seniors are females; 6 of the juniors are males. if a student is selected at random, what is the probability that the student is either a junior or a female?

enter your answer as a fully reduced fraction.

Answers

The probability is 8/17.

The tricky portion of this question is the phrasing using the word "or".
The fact that it is looking for either a female "or" a junior, let's us know that the selection can't be both. In mathematics, we would need the term "and/or" in order to include those that are both.
So, given that information, we know we have 11 juniors, 6 of which are males and 5 of which are females. We would include the males in our selection.
We also know there are 6 seniors, 2 of which are female and 4 of which are males. We would include the 2 females.

This would give us a selection size of 8. There are 17 total kids, so we divide the 8 by 17 for the answer of 8/17.

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{13}{17}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of juniors = n(J)= 11

Number of seniors = 6

Total students n(S)=[tex]11+6=17[/tex]

Number of seniors are which are females =2

Number of  juniors are which are males =6

Then, number of juniors which are females = [tex]11-6=5[/tex]

Now, total females n(F)=[tex]2+5=7[/tex]

such that number of juniors which are females n(J∩F) = [tex]5[/tex]

Now, the number of students either a junior or a female is given by :_

[tex]n(J\cup F)=n(J)+n(F)-n(J\cap F)\\\\\Rightarrow n(J\cup F)=11+7-5=13[/tex]

Now, the probability that the student is either a junior or a female is given by :-

[tex]P(J\cup F)=\dfrac{n(J\cup F)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{13}{17}[/tex]

Answers

Hey,
It would be A 
i just learned this 4 weeks ago in math class.

The required, experimental probability of randomly selecting a marble that is not blue is 9/11. Option C is correct.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

The total number of marbles in the barrel is:

4 blue + 5 yellow + 6 red + 2 green + 5 purple = 22 marbles

The number of marbles that are not blue is:

5 yellow + 6 red + 2 green + 5 purple = 18 marbles

Therefore, the experimental probability of randomly selecting a marble that is not blue is:

18 marbles / 22 marbles = 9/11

Thus, the answer is option C:  9 / 11.

The Smiths want to buy a 9 ft. by 12 ft. carpet and center it in a 15 ft. by 20 ft. room.

Which of the following would be an appropriate scale to use on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper for a sketch of the room and carpet?

1 inch = 1 foot
1 inches = 1 foot
1/2 inch = 1 foot
2 inches = 1 foot,

Answers

1 inch = 1 foot is the answer. The appropriate scale to use on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper for a sketch of the room and carpet is 1 inch = 1 foot. The other choices are incorrect because it is not possible for 1/2 inch= 1 foot and it is grammatically wrong when we say 1 inches= 1 foot.

The room scale will only fit on an 8 1/2" X 11" page if 1/2 iinch = 1 foot is used. If we take the largest measurement 15 X 20......the 15 would hang over the edge of the paper no matter which way we turn it. With the 1/2" we can get 17 feet on the 8 1/2 side and and 22 on the 11" side.

1/2 inch = 1 foot is the correct answer

A fire fighter has to get to a burning building as quickly as he can. there are three paths that he can take. he can take his fire engine over a large hill (5 miles) at 10 miles per hour. he can take his fire engine through a windy road (7 miles) at 9 miles per hour. or he can drive his fire engine along a dirt road which is 8 miles at 12 miles per hour.

Answers

Final answer:

The firefighter should take the path over the large hill as it will take the shortest amount of time to reach the burning building.

Explanation:

The firefighter has three paths to choose from in order to reach the burning building:

Path 1: The firefighter can take the fire engine over a large hill, which is 5 miles long, at a speed of 10 miles per hour.

Path 2: The firefighter can take the fire engine through a windy road, which is 7 miles long, at a speed of 9 miles per hour.

Path 3: The firefighter can drive the fire engine along a dirt road, which is 8 miles long, at a speed of 12 miles per hour.

The firefighter will need to calculate the time it takes to travel each path and choose the path that allows him to reach the burning building quickest.

Let's calculate the time for each path:

Path 1: Time = Distance / Speed = 5 miles / 10 miles per hour = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes

Path 2: Time = Distance / Speed = 7 miles / 9 miles per hour ≈ 0.78 hours ≈ 47 minutes

Path 3: Time = Distance / Speed = 8 miles / 12 miles per hour ≈ 0.67 hours ≈ 40 minutes

Based on the calculations, the firefighter should take Path 1 over the large hill, as it will take him the shortest amount of time to reach the burning building.

Anna and Bill share some money in the ratio 2:5
Anna gets £A
Bill gets £B
Carl and Donna share twice as much money as Anna and Bill share.
They share the money in the ratio 3:1
Carl gets £C
Donna gets £D
Find A:B:C:D in its simplest form

Answers

let the total amount of money that Anna and Bill shared be £ x
amount of money Anna received will  be £A=2/7x
amount of money Bill received will be £B=5/7x
let the total amount of  money that Carl and Donna shared be £ 2x
amount of money received by Carl is £C=3/4(2x)=3/2x
amount of money received by Donna is £D=1/4(2x)=1/2x
the ratio of money received by them altogether will be:A:B:C:D
this is equal to:
2/7x:5/7x:3/2x:1/2x
this can be simplified to:
2/7:5/7:3/2:1/2
this can further be simplified to:
(2/7*14):(5/7*14):(3/2*14):(1/2*14)
hence we shall have:
4:10:21:7
 

The ratio A:B: C:D in its simplest form is 4:10:15:5.

Let's denote the total amount of money shared by Anna and Bill as M. Since Anna and Bill share this money in the ratio of 2:5, Anna gets 2/7 of M and Bill gets 5/7 of M.

So, we have:

Anna's share (A) = (2/7)M

Bill's share (B) = (5/7)M

Carl and Donna share twice as much money as Anna and Bill, which means the total amount of money shared by Carl and Donna is 2M. They share this money in a ratio of 3:1.

Therefore:

Carl's share (C) = (3/4)(2M) = (3/2)M

Donna's share (D) = (1/4)(2M) = (1/2)M

Now, we want to find the ratio A:B:C: D. To do this, we need to express all shares in terms of the same unit. Since Anna and Bill's total money is M, we will express Carl and Donna's shares in terms of M as well.

We have:

A = (2/7)M

B = (5/7)M

C = (3/2)M

D = (1/2)M

To find the ratio A:B: C:D, we can compare the coefficients of M:

A:B:C:D = (2/7)M : (5/7)M : (3/2)M : (1/2)M

To simplify this, we can multiply each term by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 14. This will give us the ratio in whole numbers without changing the proportions.

Multiplying each term by 14, we get:

A:B:C:D = (2/7)*14 : (5/7)*14 : (3/2)*14 : (1/2)*14

A:B: C:D = 4:10:15:5

Therefore, the simplest form of the ratio A:B: C:D is 4:10:15:5.

How many different towers can you make using one red, one blue and one yellow block?

Answers

You can make 6 different towers. If red was at the bottom, there'd be two different possibilities for that: red, yellow, blue, and red, blue, yellow. Same for if blue was at the bottom: blue, red, yellow, and blue, yellow, red. Yellow also applies: yellow, red, blue, and yellow, blue, red. 3*2=6, so 6 possible towers. 

Final answer:

Using permutation principles, one can determine that six different towers can be made from one red, one blue, and one yellow block, by multiplying the number of choices for each position (3 x 2 x 1).

Explanation:

The question is about determining the number of different towers that can be made using one red, one blue, and one yellow block. This type of problem involves understanding permutations, as each block can be placed in any order.

To calculate the permutations of the three blocks, we consider how many choices we have for each position in our tower. For the top position, there are three choices (red, blue, yellow), for the second position, there are two remaining choices, and for the last position, there is only one choice left. This gives us a total of 3 x 2 x 1 = 6 different towers. Each tower is a unique combination of the colors in a specific order.
