A life guard is sitting on a platform, looking down at a swimmer in the water. If the lifeguards line of sight is 8 feet above the ground and the angle of depression is 18 degrees, how far away is the swimmer from the lifeguard? Round to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The swimmer is 26 ft (approximately) away from the lifeguard

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer you the attached diagram.

The lifeguard sitting on the platform is labeled as point P, and the swimmer down below is at point S. The point G is the point directly beneath the lifeguard. So, we have a right angled triangle PSG. Also the angle of depression is 18 degrees, so the angle of sight between the lifeguard and the ground is 72 degrees (that is, 90 - 18 = 72).

Having derived a right angled triangle with two sides and a reference angle, we can now use the trigonometric ratio which is;

CosP = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

The adjacent is the side that lies between the reference angle and the right angle (side PG), while the hypotenuse is the side facing the right angle (side PS). Hence;

Cos72 = 8/g

By cross multiplication we now have

g = 8/Cos72

g = 8/0.3090

g = 25.8899

Approximately, g = 26 ft.

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 60.7 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?

Answers

Answer:

468408.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

The guy above knows

The volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 60.7 m is 468170.95 cubic meter.

What is the volume?

Volume is the measure of the capacity that an object holds.

Formula to find the volume of the object is Volume = Area of a base × Height.

Given that, a radius of a hemisphere is 60.7 m.

Half of a sphere, or a hemisphere, is a three-dimensional (3D) shape. The form we obtain when a sphere is split by a plane going through its centre is known as a hemisphere. A hemisphere has one flat circular base and a curving surface. The quantity of unit cubes that can fit inside a hemisphere is known as its volume.

We know that, the volume of a hemisphere is (2/3)πr³.

Here, volume is 2/3 ×3.14×60.7³

= 2/3 ×3.14×223648.543

= 468170.95 cubic meter

Therefore, the volume is 468170.95 cubic meter.

A waffle cone has a volume of 31.254 cubic centimeters and a radius of

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone of radius r and height h is

V = (1/3)πr²h.  Here, V = 31.254 cm³ and r = 2.5 cm.  

We begin by solving V = (1/3)πr²h for the unknown height, h:

         31.254 cm³              3(31.254 cm³)            93.762 cm³

Solve the simultaneous equation:
2x+3y=13

X+2y=9​

Answers

Answer:

2x + 3y = 13

4x - y = -2

In the second equation, subtract 4x from both sides.

-y = -2 - 4x

Divide both sides by -1.

y = 2 + 4x

Put this into the first equation in place of y.

2x + 3(2 + 4x) = 13

Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.

2x + 6 + 12x = 13

Combine like terms.

14x + 6 = 13

Subtract 6 from both sides.

14x = 7

Divide 14 on both sides.

x = 7 / 14

x = 0.5

Put this into the second equation in place of x.

4(0.5) - y = -2

2 - y = -2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-y = -4

Divide both sides by -1.

y = 4

So x = 0.5 and y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation: If you make them the same number by adding a 0 to .856 it would look like

.8561

.8560

Answer:

I think it would be .856

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 is greater than 0.05. There are many ways to deduce this:

The more the # of zeroes after the decimal point the smaller the number is. Suppose there are x number of extra zeroes after the decimal point in number a than number b. Then, b is 10^x times larger than a.

Multiply both numbers by 100. we can see 0.5*100 (=50) > 0.05*100 (=5)

Fractionalize both numbers, we get 0.5=(5/10) but 0.05=(5/100). This makes 0.05<0.5

[tex]\huge \colorbox{red}{(x,y)=(-1,-3)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first equation by 4 and second by 3 respectively:

[tex] \begin{cases} \displaystyle - 12x + 28y = - 72 \\ \: \: \displaystyle \: 12x - 12y = 24 \end{cases}[/tex]

combine the equations:

divide both sides by -48:

[tex] \displaystyle \: \frac{16y}{16} = \frac{ - 48}{16} \\ y = - 3[/tex]

substitute the value of y to the second equation

[tex] \displaystyle \: 4x - 4. - 3 = 8[/tex]

simplify multiplication:

cancel 12 from both sides:

Al principio Eduardo y Adrián tenían el mismo número de dulces. Eduardo le dio a Adrián la mitad de los dulces que tenía. Después, Adrián le dio a Eduardo la mitad de los dulces que tenía él en ese momento, así que a Adrián le quedaron 12 dulces. ¿Cuántos dulces tenía Eduardo al final? *

Answers

Answer:

Al final, Eduardo tenía 20 dulces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que al principio Eduardo y Adrián tenían el mismo número de dulces, y Eduardo le dio a Adrián la mitad de los dulces que tenía, y después, Adrián le dio a Eduardo la mitad de los dulces que tenía él en ese momento, así que a Adrián le quedaron 12 dulces, para determinar cuántos dulces tenía Eduardo al final se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

Eduardo 1X = Adrián 1X

Eduardo 0.5X = Adrián 1.5X

Eduardo 1.25X = Adrián 0.75X

0.75 X = 12

X = 12 / 0.75

X = 16

1.25 X = 16 x 1.25 = 20

Así, al final, Eduardo tenía 20 dulces.
