Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:the original height of the candle is 14.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:A Candlestick burns at a rate of 0.2 inches per hour. It means that the height of the candle is decreasing by 2 inches per hour. This decrease is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed asTn = a + (n - 1)dWhere a represents the first term of the sequence.d represents the common difference.n represents the number of terms in the sequence.From the information given,d = - 0.2 (it is decreasing)n = 8T8 = 13.4 inchesWe want to determine the value of the first term, a. Therefore,13.4 = a - 0.2(8 - 1)13.4 = a - 1.4a = 13.4 + 1.4 = 14.8 inches

Find the missing variable. 3k+4(-k+2)=14k-22

Answers

Answer:

k=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding gives

[tex]3k-4k+8=14k-22[/tex].

Further simplification yields

[tex]-k+8=14k-22[/tex]

[tex]15k=30[/tex]

[tex]k=2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Distributive Property:

[tex]3k - 4k + 8 = 14k - 22[/tex]

[tex] - k + 8 = 14k - 22[/tex]

Add k to both sides:

[tex]8 = 15k - 22[/tex]

Add 22 to both sides:

[tex]30 = 15k[/tex]

Divide each side by 15:

If Krista wants the pen to be four times the area it is now

(5 feet long by 4 1/2 feet wide), what are two ways she could change

the length and/or width to give her that new area?

What would the new area be?

Answers

The two ways she could change the length and/or width are;

Multiply the length by a factor of 4 while leaving the width constantMultiply the width by a factor of 4 while leaving the length constant

The new area of the pen would be; 90ft²

Area of a pen

The dimension of the pen given is;

5 feet long by 4 1/2 feet wide

Hence, the initial area of the pen is;

5 × 4.5 = 22.5 ft².

Hence, to make the pen four times it's present area; Krista may multiply either of the length or width by a factor of 4.

And hence, the new area is; 22.5 × 4 = 90ft²

Answer:

(a) AA Similarity using alternate interior angles

(b) 6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Triangles ABD and BDC have a given pair of congruent angles, angles ABD and BCD.

With parallel lines AB and DC and transversal BD, then alternate interior angles ABD and BDC are congruent.

Now we have two pairs of congruent corresponding angles, so by AA Similarity, triangles ABD and BDC are similar.

(b)

Triangles ABD and BDC are similar.

The ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

AB/BD = AD/BC

4/6 = 4.2/BC

4BC = 6 × 4.2

BC = 6.3

Answers

Answer:

A = 2298.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle with the 35angle. you need to find the height of that triangle which is the adjacent side and the opposite side is 44

tan 35° = opposite/ adjacent

[tex]tan 35 = \frac{44}{x}[/tex]

[tex]tan 35(x) = 44[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{44}{tan 35}[/tex]

x = 62.83  ≈ 62.8

Using the 25° angle, you have the height which is 62.8 and looking for the side opposite the 25° angle.

So  tan 23° = x/adjacent side

[tex]tan 25= \frac{x}{62.8}[/tex]

[tex]tan 25(62.8)= x[/tex]

Q.2. 12 men are building a wall which is 8 m long, 6 m high and 22.5 cm thick using bricks. On this basis answer the following.

i. Find the volume of the cuboidal wall.

Length (l) = 800 mBreadth (b) = 6600 mHeight (h) = 22.5 cm

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find volume of cuboidal wall :

[tex] \begin{gathered}\qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = LBH}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = L \times B \times H}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = 800 \times 600 \times 22.5}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = 480000 \times 22.5}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\underline{\red{V = 1,08,00,000 \: {cm}^{3}}}}}}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of cuboidal wall is 1,08,00,000 cm³.

———————————————————————

ii. If the dimension of each brick is 25 cm × 11.25 cm × 6 cm, then find the volume of the brick.

Length (l) = 25 cmBreadth (b) = 11.25 mHeight (h) = 6 cm

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the volume of cuboidal brick :

[tex] \begin{gathered}\qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = LBH}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = L \times B \times H}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = 25 \times 11.25\times 6}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{V = 281.25\times 6}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\underline{\pink{V = 1687.5 \: {cm}^{3}}}}}}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of cuboidal brick is 1687.5 cm³.

————————————————————

iii. How many bricks will be required to construct the cuboidal wall.

Volume of wall = 10800000 cm³Volume of brick = 1687.5 cm³

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the number of bricks :

[tex] \begin{gathered} \quad{\longrightarrow{\sf{No. \: of \: bricks = \dfrac{Volume \:of \: wall}{Volume \: of \: brick}}}}\\ \\ \quad{\longrightarrow\sf{No.\: of \: bricks = \dfrac{10800000}{1687.5}}} \\ \\ \quad{\longrightarrow{\sf{No. \: of \: bricks = \cancel{\dfrac{10800000}{1687.5}}}}} \\ \\ \quad{\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\underline{\purple{No. \: of \: bricks = 6400}}}}}}\end{gathered}[/tex]
