A stack of logs has 17 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 3 fewer logs than the previous layer. If the top layer has two logs, how many total logs are in the pile?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

152 logs

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is an Arithmetic progression question

A stack of logs has 17 logs on the bottom layer.

First term = a1 = 17

We are told that: each subsequent layer has 3 fewer logs than the previous layer.

Common difference = 3

Hence, Second term = 17 - 3 = 14

Third term = 14 - 3 = 11

If the top layer has two logs,

Last term = 2

Step 1

We find the number of layers of logs present

Number of logs in the bottom layer - number of logs in the first layer + 1

= 17 - 2 +1

= 16 layers

Step 2

We are asked in the question to find , how many total logs are in the pile?

This means, we are to find the sum of terms in the Arithmetic progression.

The formula is given as

Sn = n/2(a + l)

Where a = First term = 17

l = Last term = 2

Sn = n/2(17 + 2)

Sn = 16/2(19)

Sn = 8 × 19

Sn= 152 logs

[tex]\boxed{\bold{\huge{\boxed{Area\ of\ Trapezium = 150\ cm\²}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem first to find EC

[tex]\sf CB^2 = EB^2+EC^2\\Where \ CB = 13 \ and \ EB = 5 \\13^2 = 5^2 + EC^2 \\169 - 25 = EC^2 \\EC^2 = 144\\Taking \ sqrt \ on \ both \ sides\\EC = 12 \ cm[/tex]

Given that:

AE = EC

AE = 12 cm

Now,

AB = AE + EB

AB = 12 + 5

AB = 17 cm

ABCD is a trapezoid / trapezium

So,

Area of Trapezium = [tex]\sf \frac{AB+DC}{2} (EC)[/tex]

Where AB = 17 , DC = 8 and EC = 12

Area of Trapezium = [tex]\sf \frac{17+8}{2} ( 12)[/tex]

Area of Trapezium = (25)(6)

Area of Trapezium = 150 cm²

An electric company calculates a person's monthly bill from the number of

x 200
The function b(ar) = {

0.15(x - 200) +20, < > 200
determines the
bill
How much is the bill for a person who uses 600 kWh in a month?
A. $70
ООО
B, $60
C. $40
D. $80

Answers

Answer:

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person's monthly bill from the number of  kilowatt-hours (kWh), x is modeled by the equation b = 0.15(x - 200) +20, to know the bill for a person who uses 600 kWh in a month, we will substitute x = 600 into the modeled equation as shown;

[tex]b(x) = 0.15(x - 200) +20\\\\b(600) = 0.15(600 - 200) +20\\\\b(600 )= 0.15(400) +20\\\\b(600 )= 15/100*(400) +20\\\\b(600 )= (15*4)+20\\\\b(600 )= 60+20\\\\b(600 )= 80[/tex]

Hence the bill for a person who uses 600 kWh in a month is $80

What is rectangle?

An enclosed 2-D shape called a rectangle has four sides, four corners, and four right angles (90°). A rectangle has equal and parallel, opposite sides. Since a rectangle is a two-dimensional form, it has two dimensions: length and width. The rectangle's longer side is its length, while its shorter side is its breadth.

Given:

One side of the canvas is 11.4 inches long,

the shorter side is 8.3 inches,

Calculate the area of the canvas as shown below,

Area of the canvas = Length of the longer side × length of the shorter side,

Area of the canvas = 11.4 × 8.3

Area of the canvas = 94.62 inches².

An angle measures 50° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Answer:

20° and 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum up to 90°.

The angle = x

Its complement = x + 50

x + x + 50 = 90

2x = 40

x° = 20°

20+50=70

Answer: 70°  and 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees  and we now that one angles measure is 50 degrees less than the other. So we can represent it by the expression   x = y -50    where x  and y are the two angles. We don't the value of y so it will be just y .

Now we know that if we add them,they will equation 90 degrees so we can represent it by the equation,

y + y-50 = 90  Now solve for y

2y - 50 = 90  

      +50  +50

2y = 140

y = 70  

Now we know one angles is 70 degrees and the other is 50  less than it so the other angle will be   70 - 50 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

condition for a perpendicular line to the previous line is that the gradient M1=-1/M2. looking at the question above the equation of the line given y=-2x+3 that is the first M1=-2. so to get the gradient M2 of the line perpendicular, then M2=-1/-2=1/2. so M2=1/2. so the equation of the new line is y=1/2x+C. so we can find C. since the line passes through (-4,6). when x=-4, y=6, 6=1/2(-4)+C..C=6+2=8. so the equation of the new line y=1/2x+8 we can multiply via 2. so we have 2y=x+16

the equation is 2y=x+16

Question 6 (1 point) If the area of a square is 121 square inches, what is the perimeter of the square? inches​

Answers

Answer:

  44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length is the square root of the area:

  A = s^2

  121 in^2 = s^2

  √(121 in^2) = s = 11 in

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length (since all four sides are the same length).

  P = 4s = 4(11 in) = 44 in

The perimeter of the square is 44 inches.

Question Given:

The area of a square is 121 square inches, what is the perimeter of the square? inches

Answer:

The perimeter = 44 inches

Explanation:

Area = 121 inches²

.°. Length of a side = √(121 inches²) = 11 inches

Now,

Perimeter of the square =

Length of a side×4

= 11 inches × 4

= 44 inches.
