A town had about 2120 acres of pine trees 40 years ago. Only about 13% of the pine trees remain. How many acres of pine trees remain? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

There will be 275.6 acres of pine trees are left out of 2120 acres

Data;

  • Number of acres = 2120
  • percentage left = 13%

Percentage

To calculate the percentage of a value, we find the value of that value to it's total value multiplied by 100.

To find 13% of 2120,

(13)/(100)= (x)/(2120)\n 100 * x = 13 * 2120\n 100x = 27560\n(100x)/(100) = (27560)/(100)\n x= 275.6 acres

From the calculations above, only 275.6 acres of pine trees are left out of 2120 acres.

Answer 2
Answer: To calculate 13% of 2120, we multiply by 13/100.  13/100*2120=13*21.2, or 275.6 using basic multiplication.

The town of gettysburg, PA, plans to shoot a live cannon as part of their annual Gettysburg Civil War Battle Reenactment. The organizers want to make sure that when they fire the cannon, it lands in a location that does not injure any participants or spectators. The slope of the field they are firing into can be represented by the equation y=0.15x. Let x represent horizontal distance, and y represents vertical distance.. if the cannon fires the cannon ball at an arc denoted by the equation y=-0.5x^2+2.5x+1, at what distance will the cannonball land. -I know i'm supposed to set -0.5x^2+2.5x+1=.15x and use distance formula BUT I KEEP GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS.

Answers

Answer:

The cannonball lands at approximately 5.093 unit distance from the point of fire

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The arc denoting the equation of motion of the cannon is y₁ = -0.5·x² + 2.5·x + 1

The slope of the field where in the direction the cannon is fired is y₂ = 1.5·x

The points where the cannonball land on the slopping field is given as rightly pointed by equating the two equations, the cannonball path path and the field path as follows;

At the point of contact of the cannonball and the field, the y-values of both equation will be equal

y₁ = y₂

∴ -0.5·x² + 2.5·x + 1 = 0.15·x

Which gives;

-0.5·x² + 2.5·x - 0.15·x + 1 = 0

-0.5·x² + 2.35·x + 1 = 0

-(-0.5·x² + 2.35·x + 1) = 0.5·x² - 2.35·x - 1 = 0

0.5·x² - 2.35·x - 1 = 0

The above equation is in the general form of a quadratic equation, which is given as follows;

a·x² + b·x + c = 0

By the quadratic equation, we have;

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^(2)-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

Plugging in the values, gives;

x = \frac{2.35\pm \sqrt{(2.35)^(2)-4\cdot (0.5)* (-1)}}{2\cdot (0.5)} =  (2.35\pm √(7.5225))/(1) =2.35 \pm √(7.5225)

∴ x ≈ 5.093 or x ≈ -0.393

Therefore, the cannonball will takeoff at x ≈ -0.393 and land at x ≈ 5.093

The height from which they fire the cannon is given by the substituting the value of x ≈ -0.393 into the equation for the path of the cannonball, to give;

y_((initial)) = -0.5·(-0.393)² + 2.5·(-0.393) + 1 = -0.0597

y_((initial)) ≈ -0.0597.

However, the actual initial height from which the cannonball is fired given by placing x = 0, which gives y = 1, which is the reason for the other (negative) value for x. Please see the attached graph created with Microsoft Excel.

Find the slope of the line passing through (3,6) and (5,2)

Answers

Answer:-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = rise / run

y2-y1/x2-x1

(3,6) is the first set of coordinates

(5,2) is the second set of coordinates

2-6/5-3= -4/2= -2

Answer: the slope is -2/4

Step-by-step explanation: m is the variable for slope.

m=(rise)/(run) =(3-5)/(6-2)=(-2)/(4)

I think so. Not 100% sure because I just learned this content in pre-algebra class.

The triangles below are similar from A to B. What is the scale factor? *5/4
3/5
2/3
4/5

Answers

Answer:   The scale is 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, you have to locate which sides are similar to each other .

the side length with 20 is congruent to 16

15 is similar to 12    and 10 is similar to 8.

And to get from triangle A to triangle B of any side length, we need to multiply by a certain number which is the scale factor.

And to  find that number we will divide the side length of any side in triangle A  by the similar side to it in triangle B.

   

20/ 16 = 5/4

15/ 12 =  5 / 4

10 / 8 = 5/4

The answer would be 5/4 :)

Find 3 consecutive odd integers whose sum is 225, explain please

Answers

3 odd integers have a property that they average up to the middle large one. Let's say we have 3, 5, and 7. 3 is 2 less than 5 and 7 is 2 more than 5. so when you add them it equals 2 times 5. 
After we know that, the sum of 3 odd integers is just 3 times the middle number. ex. 3+5+7 = 3 times 5 = 15
Then we know the some number times three = 225. we find out that the middle number is 75, so the other two are 73 and 77

Area of prism = base area × altitude

1. (2x²-10)(x+4)

= 3x³-2x - 40

2. Base area = 2πr

Volume = (2πr)(r²+ 5r)

=2πr³ + 10πr²

3. Base area=½(6)(x-4)(x+3)=3(x-4)(x+3)

Volume= 3(x-4)(x+3)(⅓)

=(x-4)(x+3)= x² - x -12

4. Base circumference= 10π

Base radius = 10π/(2π) = 5

Base area = πr² = 25π

Volume = 25π(3x²-2x)

=125πx²-50πx

5. Volume = 3π√50

=15π√2

6. Base diameter = 16

Base radius = 16/2 = 8

Base area = 2πr = 16π

Volume = 16π(23a²)

=368πa²
