An 8 ft tall tent standing next to a man casts a 16 ft shadow. If the man is 6 ft tall, then how long is his shadow?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The man's shadow is 12 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are given that an 8 foot tall tent casts a 16 foot shadow, and we are asked the calculate the length of the shadow a 6 foot tall man casts.

To solve this problem, find the relationship between 8 and 16- 16 is twice as much as 8, as 8 x 2 = 16.

From this we have: "The shadow of an object is twice as long as the object."

We can use this to calculate the length of the shadow for a 6 foot tall man.  Since the height of the man is 6 feet, the length of his shadow would be 12 feet.

Seeing this, that would mean the 2 bars showing g equal 20, so the equation 20 = 2g is the one which the diagram shows.

Jimmy was walking to get the mail; at which time he fell into a hole and broke his ankle. He has a PPO insurance plan. His total bill was $2,000. If Jimmy has a $1,000 deductible with an 80/20% co-insurance, how much total will Jimmy have to pay out of pocket? Show your work.

Answers

Answer: $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a deductible here, you deduct it from the total bill first:

= 2,000 - 1,000

= $1,000

With an 80/20% coinsurance plan, you will pay for 20% of this bill and your insurance company will pay 80%.

You will therefore pay:

= 1,000 * 20%

= $200

Find the solution between - x - 3y = 6 and the equation of the line shown on the graph below.

Answers

Answer:

They are the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/3x - 2

-x - 3y = 6

First, we need both lines to follow the equation of y = mx + b so that we can graph them. We already have one equation in that form (the one from the graph given), so we can ignore that for now.

Next, we need to solve -x - 3y = 6. Let's first move the x to the other side of the equal sign.

-3y = x + 6

Now, since we have a similar equation to what we need, we just need to divide the y by the given number in front (or -3). But that also means that we must divide the other side by the same amount (or each variable).

-3y = x + 6. -> y = -1/3x - 2

So, your final equation for -x - 3y = 6 should be;

y = -1/3x -2

Bringing down the other equation, we get:

y = -1/3x - 2 and y = -1/3x - 2

Making both equal to each other (they cancel each other out).

THE POWER OF MEMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bridge spans a distance of 1012m. Large cables are attached to the tops of the towers, 45 m above the road. The road is suspended from the large cables by many smaller vertical cables. The smallest vertical cable measures about 1.5m. Determine a quadratic equation for the large cables.

Answers

Answer:

A quadratic equation for the large cables is [tex]f(x) = \dfrac{87 }{512072} \cdot x^2 + 1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the quadratic equation representing the large cables is a parabola

Taking the point of the smallest vertical cables as the vertex, (h, k) with coordinates, (0, 1.5), we have;

h = -b/(2·a)

∴ 0 = -b/(2·a), from which we have, b = 2·a × 0 = 0

k = 1.5 = c - (b²/(4·a) = c - (0/(4·a)) = c

∴ c = 1.5

The standard form of the quadratic equation, a·(x - h)² + k is therefore, given as follows;

f(x) = a·(x - 0)² + 1.5 = a·x² + 1.5

At the towers which are on either side of the bridge, when x = 1012/2 = 506, f(x) = y = 45

Therefore, we have;

45 = a·506² + 1.5

a = (45 - 1.5)/506² = 87/512072 ≈ 1.699 × 10⁻⁴

The quadratic equation for the large cables, f(x), can therefore be presented as follows;

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{87 }{512072} \cdot x^2 + 1.5[/tex]

Mr. Martin is giving a math test next period. The test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is
worth either 5 points or 2 points. Write a system of equations that can be used to find how many problems of each
point value are on the test.
Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.
x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
x + y = 100, 5x + 2y = 29
5x + y = 29, 2y + x = 100
2x + y = 100, 5y + x = 29

Answers

Answer:

x + y = 29

5x + 2y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to set up equations

There are 29 problems, so adding up the number of individual problem types will give 29

x + y = 29 ••••••(i)

Let us work with points now;

x is worth 5 points, y is worth 2 points
