The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 feet. One leg of the triangle is 3 feet. What is the length of the other leg (rounded to the nearest hundredth)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the other LEG of a right triangle

Pythagorean Theorem can be written as A^2+B^2=C^2

Now we plug in the values. C represents the hypotenuse while A and B represent the legs. We only are given one leg and the hypotenuse so we will be solving for B. (Or A if you swap the legs around)

3^2+b^2=5^2

9+b^2=25

Subtract 9 from both sides:

16=b^2

Now we take the square root of both sides

b=4

The length of the other leg of the triangle is 4 feet.


This is a basic 3-4-5 Triangle. Anytime the hypotenuse of a triangle is 5 and the leg is 3 the other leg will always be 4.

A gym instructor has a total of 60 hand weight in her studio. Some of the hand weights are 3 pound weights and the rest are 5 pound weights. If there are 10 more 5-lb weights than 3-lb weights, then how many of each kind does she have?

Answers

Answer:

35 5-lb weights25 3-lb weights

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and f represent the numbers of three- and five-pound weights. The problem statement tells us ...

  f + t = 60

  f - t = 10

Adding these two equations, we get ...

  (f +t) +(f -t) = (60) +(10)

  2f = 70 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  f = 35 . . . . . . divide by 2

She has 35 5-lb weights, and 25 3-lb weights.

What is the system of equations?

One or many equations having the same number of unknowns that can be solved simultaneously called as simultaneous equation. And simultaneous equation is the system of equation.

Given:

A math teacher wants to buy 25 new scientific calculators for the classroom.

Acme and Zenith makes two different type of calculators.

Acme calculators cost $15 each.

Zenith calculators cost $12 each.

The math teacher has $330 to spend.

Let x represents the number Acme calculators and y represents Zenith.

Now, we have the system of equations,

x + y = 25

So, y = 25 - x

And 15x + 12y = 330

Substituting the value of y,

15x + 300 - 12x = 330

3x = 330 - 300

3x = 30

x = 10

So, y = 15

Therefore, 10 Acme and 15 Zenith calculators.

The equation of a given circle in. general form is x^2+y^2+12y+27=0. Write the equation in standard form, (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, by completing the squares in the equation. Show your work in the table.

Answers

Answer:

Center (h, k) = (0, 6)

Radius, r = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the circle is: [tex]$ x^2 + y^2 + 12y + 27 = 0 $[/tex]

STEP I: Move the constant term to the right hand side.

To do that we subtract 27 on both the sides, we get:

[tex]$ x^2 + y^2 + 12y = -27 $[/tex]

STEP II: Divide the co - effecient of 'x' by 2 and square it.

Here there is no 'x' term. Its co-effecient is 0.

STEP III: Add the result on both sides.

Since, we got 0 in the previous step, there would no change in the equation

STEP IV: We repeat the process for 'y'.

Here, the co-effecient of 'y' is: 12.

Dividing by 2 and squaring it will yield:

[tex]$ \frac{12}{2} = 6; \hspace{5mm} 6^2 = 36 $[/tex]

STEP V: Adding 36 to both the sides of the equation, it becomes:

[tex]$ x^2 + y^2 + 12y + 36 = -27 + 36 $[/tex]

[tex]$ \implies x^2 + y^2 + 12y + 36 = 9 $[/tex]

We have arrived at perfect squares.

STEP VI: Write in the form of perfect squares.

[tex]$ (x - 0)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 3^2 $[/tex]

STEP VII: Compare it with the standard form.

[tex]$ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 $[/tex]

We get: The centre of the circle: (h, k) = (0, 6) and

the radius of the circle, r = 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note there is a common ratio between consecutive terms, that is

r = 28 ÷ 112 = 7 ÷ 28 = 0.25

Thus the sequence is geometric.

To obtain a term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 0.25

You take a pan of brownies out of the oven and set them on the counter in a room that is 70 degrees F, If the brownies start at 400 degrees F, approximately how long will it be before they are cool enough to eat at 160 degrees F? Use Newton's Law of Cooling with k = 0.035.

Answers

Answer:

i would say wait abought 50 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

i dont know whow to explain i might be wrong but its some whaere around 50 mins irl

Using Newton's Law of Cooling with a cooling constant of 0.035, it will take approximately 42.53 minutes for the brownies to cool from 400 degrees F to 160 degrees F.

To estimate the time it would take for brownies to cool from 400 degrees F to 160 degrees F using Newton's Law of Cooling, we can use the equation [tex]T(t) = T_s + (T_0 - T_s)e^{(-kt)[/tex], where T(t) is the temperature of the object at time t, T_s is the surrounding temperature, T_0 is the initial temperature of the object, and k is the cooling constant (0.035 in this case).

First, set T(t) = 160 degrees F (the desired temperature), T_s = 70 degrees F (room temperature), and T_0 = 400 degrees F (initial temperature of brownies). Plug in the values into the equation: 160 = 70 + (400 - 70)e^(-0.035t).

Simplify and solve for t. Subtract 70 from both sides: 90 = 330e^(-0.035t). Divide both sides by 330: 90/330 = e^(-0.035t), which simplifies to 0.2727 ≈ e^(-0.035t).

Take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for t: ln(0.2727) = -0.035t. Solving for t gives t ≈ -ln(0.2727)/0.035, which calculates to approximately t ≈ 42.53 minutes.

Hence, the brownies should cool to 160 degrees F in about 42.53 minutes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it seems to me that if he wants the same rate of acceleration as the first trip, then he would need the same amount of soil as the first trip.

Therefore, he should reduce the amount of soil by one half and apply the same force. <====

Because the first time it was half full.....and since the second trip was all the way full, if he reduced it by one half, it would contain the same amount as the first trip....so he can then get the same rate of acceleration.

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, an object with a larger mass requires more force to accelerate it at a certain rate than an object with less mass. This means that an object with a larger mass requires more force to accelerate.

To move the wheelbarrow at the same rate of acceleration for the second trip, the amount of soil must be the same as in the first trip. Since the gardener first filled only one-half of the wheelbarrow with soil, the gardener must reduce the amount of soil by one-half and apply the same amount of force.

A man and his wife go shopping. They begin with $200 total. First, they stop for lunch, spending $15.00. Then, they buy three items at $20.00 each. Later, the wife spends twice what her husband spends. They return home with $20.00 cash. How much did the wife spend?

Answers

Amount spent by the wife is $70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the total amount  = $200

Amount spent on Lunch = $15.00

They buy three items at $20.00 each

The wife spends twice what her husband spends

They return home with $20.00 cash.

To Find:

Amount spent by the wife  = ?

Solution:

Initially after spending $15.00 on lunch they balance cash with them will be

200 - 15.00 = $185

Then they are buy 3 items each of which costs $20.00

So the balance after buying the 3 items will be

= 200 - 3(20)

= 185- 60.00

= $125

Now the wife is spending twice what her husband spends

so let the amount spent be the husband be x then the amount spent by the wife will be 2x.

Now  after spending 2x+x amount they are  left with $20.00

that is

125 -2x+x  = 20

125 -3x = 20

125 -20 = 3x

105 = 3x

[tex]x = \frac{105}{3}[/tex]

x = 35

So the wife will be spending 2(35) = $70

Teresa, Charlie, and Justin served a total of 153 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Justin served 4 times as many orders as Charlie. Teresa served 9 more orders than Charlie. How many orders did they each serve?

Answers

Teresa served 33 orders and Charlie served 24 orders and Justin served 96 orders

Solution:

Let "a" be the orders served by Teresa

Let "b" be the orders served by Charlie

Let "c" be the orders served by Justin

Teresa, Charlie, and Justin served a total of 153 orders

Therefore,

a + b + c = 153 -------- eqn 1

Justin served 4 times as many orders as Charlie

Orders served by Justin = 4( orders served by Charlie )

c = 4b ---------- eqn 2

Teresa served 9 more orders than Charlie

orders served by Teresa = 9 + orders served by Charlie

a = 9 + b ----------- eqn 3

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 and eqn 3

Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1

9 + b + b + 4b = 153

9 + 6b = 153

6b = 153 - 9

6b = 144

b = 24

Substitute b = 24 in eqn 3

a = 9 + 24

a = 33

Substitute b = 24 in eqn 2

c = 4(24)

c = 96

Thus Teresa served 33 orders and Charlie served 24 orders and Justin served 96 orders
