Answer 2

Answer:

3 inches = 1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The first scale you get is with the information that is given:

6 inches = 2.4 miles

Then you simplify, dividing both sides by 2.4:

2.5 inches = 1 miles

Rounding up: 3 inches = 1 miles

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

GRASS method is an acronym for Given, Required, Analysis, Solution, and Statement.

Given:

Charles has $50.00                             (total)Charles spent 1 / 4 on a gift card        (spent means subtract from total)Charles spent 5 / 8 on a new wallet   (spent means subtract from total)

Required:

The question asks: “How much money is leftover?” From this we know we have to find the leftover amount. Find: x = ?

Analysis:

50 (total) = x + 1/4 + 5/8 than solve for x

how much money leftover (x)

= total - spent on gif card - spent on new wallet

x = 50 - 1 / 4 - 5 / 8

Solution:

x = 50 - 1/4 - 5/8

1/4 of 50 is 50 / 4 = 12.5

x = 50 - 12.5 - 5/8

5/8 of 50 is 50/8 = 6.25    this is 1/8 of the pricethan multiply by 5 to get 5/8, 6.25 x 5 = 31.25

x = 50 - 12.5 - 31.25

x = 6.25

Statement:

We found that the leftover amount is $6.25.

Therefore, the leftover amount of money with a starting amount of $50.00 and purchasing a gift card and new wallet is in fact $6.25.

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve at the point corresponding to the given value of the parameter. X = t5 1, y = t6 t; t = −1

Answers

The equation of the tangent to the curve at the point corresponding to the given value of the parameter will be x + y = c.

How to calculate the tangent of the parameter curves at a point?

The curves are given below.

x = t⁵ + 1 and y = t⁶ + t

Then differentiate the functions with respect to t, then we have

[tex]\rm \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 5t^4\\[/tex]   ...1

and

[tex]\rm \dfrac{dy}{dt} = 6t^5 + 1[/tex]   ...2

Divide equation 2 by equation 1, then we have

[tex]\rm \dfrac{\dfrac{dy}{dt} }{\dfrac{dx}{dt} } = \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{6t^5 + 1}{5t^4}[/tex]

Then the slope of the equation at t = −1, then we have

dy/dx = [6(-1)⁵ + 1]/[5(-1)⁴]

dy/dx = (-6+1)/5

dy/dx = -5/5

dy/dx = -1

Then the equation of the tangent line will be

y = -x + c

x + y = c

Where c is a constant.

We know that the slope is -2, and we have a point, (2,-6). The formula for equations in point slope form is [tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex]. So, we can insert the given information into this formula to get [tex]y+6=-2(x-2)[/tex].

A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 23.4 in. The
slant height of the pyramid is 93.2 in. What is the height of the pyramid?
The height of the pyramid is aboutin.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answers

The height of the square-based pyramid is 91.72 in if the length of one side of the base is 23.4 in.

What is a square pyramid?

In geometry, it is defined as the shape having a square base with equal sides length and all the vertex of the square's joints at the top, which is perpendicular to the center of the square.

We have a square pyramid.

Length of the pyramid = 23.4 in

The slant height of the pyramid = 93.2 in

From the figure:

Base length CB  = DC = 23.4 in

In a right-angled triangle, BCD

Applying Pythagoras theorem:

DC² + CB² = DB²

23.4² + 23.4² = DB²

DB = 33.092 in

OB = (1/2)DB

OB = (1/2)33.092 = 16.546 in

In the right-angle triangle AOB, again applying Pythagoras theorem:

AO² + OB² = AB²

h² + 16.546² = 93.2²

AO = h (height of the square pyramid)

AB = slant height = 93.2 in

After calculating, we get:

h = 91.719 ≈ 91.72 in

Thus, the height of the square-based pyramid is 91.72 in if the length of one side of the base is 23.4 in.

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. The correct option is D.

What is an area?

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. It is measured in square units such as cm², m², and so on. To find the area of a square formula or another quadrilateral, multiply its length by its width.

The area of the L block will be the sum of the area of A and B. Therefore, the area can be written as,

Area of L block = Area of A + Area of B

                          = (7×2) units² + (1 × 5) units²

                          = 14units² + 5units²

Each section of a spinner is labeled with a unique number and is the same size and shape as the other sections. the spinner is spun two times. the number of possible outcomes is 16. how many sections is the spinner divided into? 2 4 8 16

Answers

By counting the total number of outcomes, we conclude that the spinner has 4 sections.

How many sections does the spinner has?

Let's say that the spinner has N sections.

If we spin it twice, for the first outcome we have N possible outcomes and for the second spin there are N possible outcomes.

Then for the experiment of spinning the spinner twice, the number of outcomes is:

O = N*N

And we know that the number of possible outcomes for spinning the spinner twice is 16, then we have:

16 = N*N = N^2

Solving for N, we have:

N = √16 = 4

Then we conclude that the spinner has 4 sections.
