How long is the cable? Round your answer
to the nearest whole foot.
Answers
This value is approximate.
==========================================================
Explanation:
The cable is connected by these key points
A = (0,3)B = (6,5)C = (12,4)D = (18,2)Let's use the distance formula to find the length of segment AB.
[tex]A = (x_1,y_1) = (0,3)\\\\B = (x_2,y_2) = (6,5)\\\\d = \text{Distance from A to B} = \text{length of segment AB}\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-6)^2 + (3-5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{36 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{40}\\\\d \approx 6.325\\\\[/tex]
Segment AB is roughly 6.325 units long. You could use the pythagorean theorem as an alternative route instead of the distance formula.
If you repeated this process for the other segment lengths, then you should get these other approximate lengths.
BC = 6.083CD = 6.325Add up those three results:
AB+BC+CD = 6.325+6.083+6.325 = 18.733
The entire cable is roughly 18.733 units long.
Since 1 unit = 10 feet, we'll multiply that result by 10.
18.733*10 = 187.33 feet
This rounds to 187 feet which is the approximate length of the cable.
The length of the cable will be 187.2 feet long.
What is the distance between two points?Let one point be (x, y) and another point be (h, k). Then the distance between the points will be
D² = (x - h)² + (y - k)²
From the diagram, the length between (0, 3) and (6, 5), (6, 5) and (12, 4), and (12, 4) and (18, 2) will be the length of the cable (L).
[tex]\rm L = \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (5-3)^2} + \sqrt{(12 - 6)^2 + (4 - 5)^2} + \sqrt{(18 - 12)^2 + (2 - 4)^2}\\[/tex]
Simplify the equation, then we have
L = √40 + √37 + √40
L = 6.32 + 6.08 + 6.32
L = 18.72 units
L = 18.72 x 10
L = 187.2 ft
The length of the cable will be 187.2 feet long.

A net of a triangular prism is show. What is the surface area, in square feet, of the triangular prism?
44 square feet
96 square feet
108 square feet
120 square feet
Answers
To find surface area, all you need to do is add up the areas of all the faces of the prism. Let’s start by remembering some basic area formulas:
Area of a triangle= 1/2*base*height
Area of a rectangle= length*width
First, find the area of each of the little triangles on the sides of the net. The base is 3 ft, and the height is 4 ft. So:
1/2*3*4= 6 ft
There are two triangles of the same size, so multiply that number by 2.
6*2=12
Now, find the area of the top rectangle:
3*8= 24
And the area of the bottom rectangle:
5*8= 40
Finally, add all of those numbers together:
12+24+40= 76 ft^2
That should be your answer!
A scientist was in a submarine below sea level, studying ocean life. Over the next ten minutes, she went down 23.9 feet. How many feet had she been below sea level, if she was 82.2 feet below sea level after she went down?
Answers
Answer:
58.3
Explanation:
x is the depth that the scientist started at. The asked equation is
x + 23.9 = 82.2
To find x, all we have to do is reverse the equation by doing
82.2 - 23.9 = x
This gives us x = 58.3

Answer:
280 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite faces are congruent , then surface area (SA ) is
SA = top/ base + front/ back + 2 sides
note for the front/ back and 2 sides we have 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 in
SA = 2(8 × 4) + 2(8 × 9) + 2(4 × 9)
= 2 × 32 + 2 × 72 + 2 × 36
= 64 + 144 + 72
= 280 in²

it will take 36 months to completely pay the loan
Step-by-step explanation:
see that if the number of months paid is 1 and the amount owed is 2450 and that on number of months paid is 2 and then the amount owed is 2380
every month we have to substract 70
so we can make a pattern
0 months = 2520
1 month = 2450 that is 2520 - 70
2 months = 2380 that is 2520 - (2 × 70)
3 months = 2310 that is 2520 - (3 × 70)
.....
then it continues till n months
so
n months = 2520 - (n ×70)
n months = 2520 - (36 × 70)
36 months = 2520 - 2520

Hi ;-)

16 · 6t - 16 · 3 = 200
96t - 48 = 200 / + 48
96t = 248 / : 96
t = ²⁴⁸/₉₆ = ³¹/₁₂ = 2 ⁷/₁₂
The solution of the linear equation 200 = 16 (6t - 3) will be 2.58.
What is the solution to the equation?The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.
A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.
The linear equation is given below.
200 = 16 (6t - 3)
Simplify the equation, then the value of the variable t will be
200 = 16 (6t - 3)
12.5 = 6t - 3
6t = 15.5
t = 2.58
The solution of the linear equation 200 = 16 (6t - 3) will be 2.58.
