4. The density of gold is 18 g/cm3. If the volume of a plece of gold is 13cm, how many grams will it be?

Answers

ANSWER:

Therefore there are about 234 grams

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the density is given by this formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ \text{where m is the mass and V the volume} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We have the value of the density and the volume, therefore we can calculate the number of grams as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 18=\frac{m}{13} \\ m=18\cdot13 \\ m=234 \end{gathered}[/tex]

m∠F = 140º

1) Since that trapezoid is a quadrilateral, then we can affirm that the Sum of their interior angles is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} S_i=180(n-2) \\ S_i=180(4-2) \\ S_i=180(2) \\ S_i=360 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that "n" refers to the number of sides:

Notice also that angle H is a right angle since this is not an Isosceles Trapezoid

So we can write out the following

9x +14x +4x + 90 = 360º

27x = 360 -90

27x = 270

x =10

Alternatively, angles between parallel lines are supplementary

2) To find out the measure of angle ∠F We'll need to plug x=10 into that expression:

m∠F = 14x

m∠F = 140º

Two observers are standing on shore 20 mile apart at points A and B and measure the angle to a sailboat at a point C at the same time. one observer is 10 miles from the sailboat and the other observer is 25 miles from the sailboat. round to the nearest degree

Answers

Using the law of sines, supposing C = 30º, the angle of each observer with the sailboat is:

Observer A: 136º.Observer B: 14º.

What is the law of sines?

Suppose we have a triangle in which:

The length of the side opposite to angle A has length a.The length of the side opposite to angle B has length b.The length of the side opposite to angle C has length c.

The lengths and the sine of the angles are related according to the following rule:

[tex]\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{B}}{b} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c}[/tex]

The measure of angle B is found as follows:

sin(B)/10 = sin(C)/20

sin(B)/10 = 0.5/20 (sin(C) = 0.5)

sin(B) = 5/20

sin(B) = 0.25

B = arcsin(0.25)

B = 14º.

The measure of angle A is found as follows:

sin(A)/25 = sin(C)/20

sin(A)/25 = 0.5/20 (sin(C) = 0.5)

sin(A) = 12.5/20

sin(A) = 0.625

A = arcsin(0.625)

A = 136º.

Missing information

The problem is incomplete, hence we suppose that the angle C is of 30º and problem asks for the angle measure of each angle.

Use each of the three corresponding base and height pairs to find the area of the triangle. Why is the area the same for each calculation?

Answers

Answer:

The three correct corresponding pairs that gives the same area are;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times3.5=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times7=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times2.5=17.5cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The areas are the same in each case because the product of each pair is the same.

Explanation:

Given the base and height pairs in the question.

Let us use the corresponding pairs that gives the same area.

Firstly, for the first pair;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times3.5=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times7=35cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times2.5=12.5cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Secondly, the second pair is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times7=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times3.5=8.75cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times2.5=6.25cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thirdly, the third pair;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times3.5=24.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times7=49cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times2.5=17.5cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the three correct corresponding pairs that gives the same area are;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times3.5=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times7=17.5cm^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times14\times2.5=17.5cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The areas are the same in each case because the product of each pair is the same.

The drivers at a warehouse need to deliver 40,000 packages each day. The warehouse has 128 trucks. Each truck has 350 packages. The drivers deliver all the packages on the trucks. Do the warehouse drivers deliver enough packages

Answers

Yes. The warehouse drivers deliver enough packages.

What is an expression?

An expression is used to illustrate the information that's given.

In this case, the warehouse has 128 trucks. Each truck has 350 packages. The number of packages that van be delivered will be:

= Number of trucks × Amount in each package

= 128 × 350

Flag pole is 12585 feet long.

Define Tangent.

The straight line that "just touches" the curve at a given location is referred to as the tangent line to a plane curve in geometry. It was described by Leibniz as the path connecting two points on a curve that are infinitely near together. A line that only touches a circle or an ellipse at one point is said to be tangential in geometry. If a line contacts a curve at point P, that point is referred to as the point of tangency. In other words, it is described as the line that, at that particular location, indicates the slope of a curve.

Given Data

Angle of elevation = 40°

Adjacent = 15 feet

Robert gets a loan from the bank. agrees to borrow 6000 , his interest rate is 7 %. he agrees to pay back over a 10 year period. how much money wil he have paid back by then?

Answers

The amount to be paid after paying interest of 7% for 10 years is 10,2000

The amount to be borrowed from the bank = 6000

Interest rate for the amount per year = 7%

The total time period of the loan = 10 years

Thus , the final amount can be calculated by using the formula

                    A = P(1 + rt)

where A is the final amount

          P is the principal amount to be borrowed

          r is the rate of interest

          t is the time period

Now, let us substitute the known values in the above equation , we get

             A = 6000 ( 1 + 0.07 x 10)

                 = 6000 (1 + 0.7)

A magical basket of pennies doubles every day. If the basket if full on the 15th day, on what day was the basket one-quarter full?

Answers

The basket of pennies will be 1/4 full on the 13th day

How to determine the day?

From the question, the given parameters are:

Rate of change, r = 2 i.e. doubleFull basket, = 15th day

The above parameters illustrate an exponential function

An exponential function is represented as

A(n) = A * (r)ⁿ⁻¹

Where

A represents the initial value

It is full on the 15th day

So, we have

1 = A *(2)¹⁵⁻¹

Evaluate

1 = A *(2)¹⁴

Divide by (2)¹⁴

A = (2)⁻¹⁴

Substitute A = (2)⁻¹⁴ in A(n) = A * (r)ⁿ⁻¹

A(n) = (2)⁻¹⁴ * (2)ⁿ⁻¹

When it is one-quarter full, we have

1/4 = (2)⁻¹⁴ * (2)ⁿ⁻¹

Multiply by (2)¹⁴

(2)¹² = (2)ⁿ⁻¹

By comparison, we have

n - 1 = 12

Add 1 to both sides

n = 13

Hence, the basket will be one-quarter full on the 13th day

The measure of the lableled angles are x = 202 and  (x - 44) = 158

What are the values of the labeled angles?

Before we can solve this question, we need to understand the geometry of the shape.

The shape we have here is a pentagon. The sum of angles in a pentagon is 540.  The angle with a red square is a right angle and the value is 90.

Therefore:

x + 90 + 90 + (x - 44) = 540

x + 180 + x - 44 = 540

2x + 136 = 540

2x = 540 - 136

2x = 404

x = 404/2

x = 202

Also:

(x - 44) = 202 - 44 = 158

Therefore, the angles x and (x - 44) measure 202 and 158 respectively.

what is y= –12x–6 on a graph

Answers

The graph of the equation y = –12x – 6 is attached in the solution.

We can find the x and y intercept of the line to find make the graph.

Putting x = 0 in the given equation, we get:-

y = -12(0) - 6 = 0 - 6 = -6

Hence, the x -intercept is (0,-6).

Putting y = 0 in the given equation, we get:-

0 = -12x - 6

6 = -12x

x = 6/(-12)

x = -1/2

Hence, the y -intercept is (-1/2,0).

We can find another point on the line.

Putting x = -1 in the given equation, we get:-

y = -12(-1) - 6

y = 12 - 6 = 6

y = 6

Hence, another point on the line is (-1,6).  

Plotting these points we can graph the equation of the line.

Can someone solve this I don’t understand the graph

Answers

The graph given in the problem is the function of cosine that is;

y = -cos x

How to find the function which was used to make a graph?

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it. If the function crosses x-axis at some point, then for some polynomial functions, we have those as roots of the polynomial.

Suppose that we've got:

f(x) = a cos (bx - c) + d

Then, this function has the Amplitude (the maximum distance of the graph from the middle line) = a

Period = [tex]\dfrac{2\pi}{b}[/tex]

Phase shift = [tex]\dfrac{c}{b}[/tex]

Maximum value: a + d

Minimum value: -a + d

Here we can see that the graph is the function of cosine that is;

y = -cos x
