Answer 1

This can be determined by ellipse formula. Therefore, the height of the tunnel 4 feet from the edge is 13.08 feet.

Given:

A tunnel is constructed with a semi-elliptical arch. The width of the tunnel is 80 feet, and the maximum height at the center of the tunnel is 30 feet.

Find:

The height of the tunnel 4 feet from the edge is.

Let us consider,

The center of the concerned ellipse at the centre of its width of 80 feet. Let us consider

[tex]\begin{alligned}2a&=80\\\\a&=\dfrac{80}{2}&=\bold{40\:feet}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since the maximum height at the centre of the tunnel is 30 feet, we can say that b = 30 feet.

Now, considering the centre of the tunnel as origin, we can write the equation of the ellipse as:

[tex]\bold{\dfrac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } =1}[/tex]

If we need to find the height of the tunnel 4 feet from the edge, we are looking for the height of the tunnel at 40 - 4 = 36 feet  from the center of the tunnel.

Therefore, we need to find y from the equation of the ellipse, when x = 36 feet.Hence,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{36^{2} }{40^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{30^{2} }&=1\\\dfrac{1296}{1600} +\frac{y^{2} }{900}&=1\\y^{2}&=(1-\frac{1296}{1600} )\times900\\y^{2}&=(1-0.81)\times900\\y^{2}&=0.19\times900\\y^{2}&=171\\y &=\sqrt{171\\\bold{y&=13.08}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the tunnel 4 feet from the edge is 13.08 feet.

f. The 70th percentile for the height of giraffes is ___ ft.

Answers

Answer:

Median =17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean height of an adult giraffe is 17 feet. Suppose that the distribution is normally distributed with standard deviation 0.9 feet. Let X be the height of a randomly selected adult giraffe. X is a random variable.  

a) X is N(17, 0.9)

b) Median giraffe height = 17 ft since in normal distribution mean = median

c) When x = 18.5, Z = 18.5-17/0.9 = Z= 0.1667

d) P( x < 18) = P( Z < 56)

= 0. 2877

e) P(16.9 < x < 17.9) = P(-0.11 < z < 1) = .0.438 + 0.3413

= 0.3851

f) 75th percentile for z is 0.675

x = 17.9 + 0.9 (0.675)

= 18.5075

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then then corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

[tex]\frac{NP}{ST}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{NM}{SR}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x}{25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{30}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

30x = 450 ( divide both sides by 30 )

x = 15

Similarly

[tex]\frac{UT}{QP}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{NM}{SR}[/tex] , that is

[tex]\frac{y}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{30}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

30y = 270 ( divide both sides by 30 )

y = 9

The similarity ratio is the ratio of corresponding sides , that is

[tex]\frac{NM}{SR}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{30}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

SRUT is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of NMQP

Step-by-step explanation:

The object is at h = 0 when it land so

-5x^2 + 20x + 60 = 0

-5(x^2 - 4x)  = -60

-5[(x - 2)^2 - 4] = -60

(x - 2)^2 - 4 = -60/-5 = 12

(x - 2)^2 = 16.

Solving the above:

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 2 = 4

x = 2 + 4

2. Amount of clay Jamal needs to make 8 bowls is 8c.

What is equation?

A mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

let the amount of clay be x.

The number of bowls be b and c is pounds of clay.

So, Total cost

x= b * c

Now, if number of bowls are 8 then

x= 8*c

x=8c

So, the amount of clay Jamal needs to make 8 bowls is 8c.
