tHE SPEED OF SOUND IN AIR IS 1100 FEET PER SECOND. THE SPEED OF SOUND IN STEEL IS 1500 FEET PER SECOND. ROBIN ONE EAR PRESSED AGAINST THE RAILROAD TRACK, HEARS A SOUND THROUGH THE RAIL SIX SECONDS BEFORE HEARING THE SAME SOUND THROUGH THE AIR. TO THE NEAREST FOOT HOW FAR AWAY IS THE SOURCE OF THAT SOUND

Answers

Answer 1

To the nearest foot the distance of source of that sound is 24,750 feet.

Given that;

Speed of sound in air = 1100 feet per second

Speed of sound in steel = 1500 feet per second

Time difference = 6 seconds

We have to find the nearest foot for the distance of source of that sound.

What is relation between distance, speed and time?

The relation between distance, speed and time is;

Speed = Distance/Time

We have;

Time difference = 6 seconds

Let the distance = x feet.

For the air;

Distance = x feet

Speed of sound in air = 1100 feet per second

Then, Time = Distance/speed = x / 1100

And, For steel ;

Distance = x feet

Speed of sound in steel = 1500 feet per second

Hence, Time =  Distance/speed = x/1500

Since, Time difference = 6 seconds

Hence, The equation become;

x / 1100 - x/1500 = 6

(1500x - 1100x)/1100*1500 = 6

400x = 6 * 1100 * 1500

x = 24,750 feet.

Hence, To the nearest foot the distance of source of that sound is 24,750 feet.

The second option shows AA symmetry.
The angles of a triangle have to add up to 180. When adding the given angles, you will find that the missing angle is equal to what is given in the other triangle.
An example is how in the second option’s triangle, the two given number add up to 91. 89 is needed to make it equal 180 and 89 is in the same position is the first triangle.

Triangle second and third can be shown to be similar using AA similarity when we take two angles between them.

What is similarity?

In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.

How to check similarity of triangle?

In second and third triangle two angles whose measures are 24 degrees and 67 degrees are in both triangles, which is the condition of AA similarity.

To check AA similarity we have to check whether two angles are equal in two triangles to be similar.

How to illustrate the information?

Mathematical operators like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are used to create expressions in writing.

You must substitute a number for each variable and carry out the arithmetic operations in order to evaluate an algebraic expression.

For example, x + 6 = 12. Since 6 + 6 equals 12, the variable x in the example above is equal to 6. We can substitute the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression if we know the values of our variables.

One approach to solving systems of equations of two variables is the graph method.

Both equations are plotted in the same grid and we find the intersection point(s) of both graphs. Those are the feasible solutions.

The annual premium p as a function of the client's age a for two companies are given as:

Company A: p= 2a+24

Company B: p= 2.25a+13

The payment to a clown for a children's party is directly proportional to the number of
children under 12 at the birthday party. The clown earns $140 at a party that has 10 children attending,
.
How much will the clown earn when 22 children under the age of 12 attend?

If the clown uses 46% of the money earned on his props for the party, and the rest is
profit. What is the profit if only 10 children under the age of 12 attend the party?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know he earns $14 per child under 12

So he'll earn 22 times 14 which is $308 earned.

46% of 308 is basically 0.46 X 308=$141.68 spent on props.

He profits $166.32

If only 10 children attend.

He earns 10 times 14= $140

46% of these earnings is for props and 54% is profit so

0.54 X 140=$75.60.

Thus he profits $75.60 if 10 children attended.

The profit will amount to $75.60 when only 10 children under the age of 12 attend the party.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

We are aware that he receives $14 for each child under the age of 12.

Thus, he will make $308 after multiplying 22 by 14.

In other words, 46% of 308 is 0.46 × 308 or $141.68 spent on props.

He earns $166.32.

If just 10 kids show up.

He makes $10 multiplied by 14 for a total of $140.

Props account for 46% of these revenues, while profits make up 54%, therefore

0.54 × 140=$75.60.

So, if 10 kids showed up, he makes $75.60.

Thus, the profit will amount to $75.60 when only 10 children under the age of 12 attend the party.

#3: The Hansen family bought 2 child and 2 adult movie tickets and paid $36.50. The Owens family bought 5 child and 2 adult tickets and paid $60.50. How much does a child movie ticket cost? *

Answers

Answer:

Cost of child movie = x = $8

Cost of adult movie = y = $10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of child movie = x

Cost of adult movie = y

Now converting statements into mathematical expressions:

Hansen family bought 2 child and 2 adult movie tickets and paid $36.50.

[tex]2x+2y=36.50[/tex]

Owens family bought 5 child and 2 adult tickets and paid $60.50. [tex]5x+2y=60.50[/tex]

Let:

[tex]2x+2y=36.50--eq(1)\\5x+2y=60.50--eq(2)[/tex]

Subtract both equations:

[tex]2x+2y=36.50\\5x+2y=60.50\\- \:\:\: - \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: -\\--------\\-3x=-24\\x=\frac{-24}{-3}\\x=8[/tex]

So, we get Value of x =8

Now, putting value of x in eq(1) to find value of y

[tex]2x+2y=36.50\\Put \: x=8\\2(8)+2y=36.50\\2y=36.50-16\\2y=20.5\\y=\frac{20.5}{2}\\y=10.25[/tex]

So, we get Value of y = 10.25

So,

Cost of child movie = x = $8

Cost of adult movie = y = $10.25
