The base of a ladder is placed 5 feet away from a 13 foot tall wall. What is the minimum length ladder needed to reach the top of the wall (rounded to the nearest foot)?

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The answer is 14 acually

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer 2
Answer: What you have described is a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of length 13 feet and a base of 5 feet. To find the length of the remaining side (i.e. how far up the side of the building the ladder reaches) you have to use Pythagora's Theorem. This states that the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So your answer should be 13^2=5^2+(how far up the side of the building the ladder reaches)^2, which becomes 169=25+(other side)^2, =169-25=(other side)^2 = 144= (other side)^2, so the height that the ladder reaches up the side of the building equals 12 feet.

You borrow $500 from your parents to buy a new computer your parents charge you 3% simple interest and give you two years to repay the money. A)how much interest do you pay on the loan. B)what is a total amount of money you owe your parentsHelp please!!

Answers

The interest to be paid on the loan is $30 and the total amount owed the parents is $530.

What is the simple interest?

The simple interest on the money borrowed is calculated using the formula below:

Simple \:  interest = (principal × rate × time)/(100)

The simple interest on the money after 2 years is:

Simple interest = $500 × 3 × 2/100

Simple interest = $30

Amount of money owed the parents = $500 + $30 = $530.

Therefore, the interest to be paid on the loan is $30 and the total amount owed the parents is $530.

The New York Knicks play in Madison square garden, the Los Angeles Lakers play in the staples center and the Miami heat play in American Airlines arena. Madison square garden is about 2.8*10^3 miles from staples center and Madison square garden is about 1.4*10^3 miles from American Airlines arena. How many times of the distance the knicks play the Miami heat to the distance the knicks travel to play the lakers?

Answers

Answer:

The distance traveled by knicks when they play Miami heat is 0.5 times of distance traveled by knicks when they play Los Angeles Lakers.

Explanation:

Teams and their courts.

 New York knicks - Madison square garden

 Los Angeles Lakers  - Staples center

 Miami heat - American Airlines arena

Distance between courts.

 Madison square garden to Staples center = 2.8*10^3miles

 Madison square garden to American Airlines arena = 1.4*10^3miles

When knicks play Miami heat distance traveled = Distance between Madison square garden and American Airlines arena

                                = 1.4*10^3miles

When knicks play Los Angeles Lakers distance traveled = Distance between Madison square garden and Staples center

                                = 2.8*10^3miles

Ratio of distances traveled = (1.4*10^3)/(2.8*10^3) =0.5

So, The distance traveled by knicks when they play Miami heat is 0.5 times of distance traveled by knicks when they play Los Angeles Lakers.

16. FINANCIAL LITERACY A specific car's fuel economy in miles per gallon can beapproximated by f(x) = 0.00000056x4 - 0.000018x3 - 0.016x2 + 1.38x - 0.38,

where x represents the car's speed in miles per hour. Determine the fuel economy

when the car is traveling 40, 50, and 60 miles per hour.

Answers

Answer:

a) 29.50 miles per gallon    b) 29.87 miles per gallon     c) 28.19 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

A specific car fuel economy (miles/gallon) = f(x) = 0.00000056x^4 - 0.000018x^3 - 0.016x^2 + 1.38x - 0.38

where x represents the car speed in miles per hour.

when x = 40 miles per hour

A specific car fuel economy (miles/gallon) = f(x) = 0.00000056(40)^4 - 0.000018(40)^3 - 0.016(40)^2 + 1.38(40) - 0.38 = 1.4336 - 1.152 - 25.6 + 55.2 - 0.38 = 29.50 miles per gallon

Similarly,

when x = 50

A specific car fuel economy (miles/gallon) = f(x) = 0.00000056(50)^4 - 0.000018(50)^3 - 0.016(50)^2 + 1.38(50) - 0.38 = 3.5 - 2.25 - 40 + 69 - 0.38 = 29.87 miles per gallon

Similarly,

when x = 60

A specific car fuel economy (miles/gallon) = f(x) = 0.00000056(60)^4 - 0.000018(60)^3 - 0.016(60)^2 + 1.38(60) - 0.38 = 7.26 - 3.89 - 57.6 + 82.8 - 0.38 = 28.19 miles per gallon
