We can apply the formula

f_L=f_s(\frac{v_a-v_p}{v_a+v_p} )

where

fL signifies the listener's frequency

fs is the frequency of the siren

va represents the speed of sound in air

vs denotes the speed of the police car

so, we have

f_s=2000Hz

v_a=345m/s

v_p=65mph

Now, we can convert it to m/s

v_p=65*\frac{1609}{3600}m/s

v_p=29.05139m/s

Next, we'll substitute the values

f_L=2000(\frac{345-29.05139}{345+29.05139} )

f_L=1689.33263Hz..............Answer

Megan's room was remodeled. The new area of the room is 175% of the previous area. Only the length of the room changed. part a)
Zina [9157]

Response: a) \frac{175}{100}xy\\\\=1.75xy\\\\

b)  The area has grown by 0.75 square meters.

Detailed breakdown:

Let the room's length be l

Let the room's breadth be 'b'

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

Area=Length\times breadth\\\\Area=l\times b

Per the problem, the room's new area equals 175% of its old area.

Thus, a) The new area of the room is determined as

\frac{175}{100}xy\\\\=1.75xy\\\\

This indicates a 175% increase in the room's length, resulting in a 175% increase in area.

b) The increase in square meters for Megan's room area is

1.75xy-1xy=0.75\\\\\text{So, by 0.75 square meters the new area is increased.}

The length and width of a book cover are 22.2cm and 12 cm respectively
zzz [9066]

The dimensions of the book cover are 28.3 centimeters in length and 21 centimeters in width. Calculate the range of values for both the actual length and width of the book cover. Minimum length = (28.3 - 0.05) cm and maximum length = (28.3 + 0.05) cm, thus 28.25 cm ≤ length < 28.35 cm.

Hope this information is helpful!

To reduce wear and tear on the family vehicle, you decide to rent a car. Happy Harry’s Rentals has a $500 fee for any rental up
Inessa [8989]
Assuming a maximum rental duration of 8 days, if we apply this to the equation, Happy Harry's Rentals costs $500, while Smilin' Sam's charges $600. Therefore, for the 7th and 8th days, Happy Harry's Rentals is a better option, while Smilin' Sam's is preferable for the first six days.

For the angles α and β in the figures, find cos(α + β)?
Inessa [8989]
Let h units denote the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle. From the Pythagorean Theorem, we derive specific relationships involving the smaller triangle with dimensions

\cos (\alpha)=\frac{4}{2\sqrt{5} }=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5} } along with the shorter leg of the second triangle denoted as s units. Furthermore, we apply the double angle property and substitute values to arrive at the final calculation.

1 kilogram is equivalent to about 2.2 pounds. An orangutan weighs 142 pounds. What is its mass in kilograms? Round your answer t
AnnZ [9071]

The weight of an orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Solution:

It is stated that the orangutan's weight is 142 pounds

Additionally,

1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds

We will now convert 142 pounds into kilograms

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

\text{1 pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \text{ kilograms }

As a result, 142 pounds translates to

142 \text{ pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 \text{ kilogrmas }

\rightarrow \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 = 64.545 \text{ kilograms }

When rounding to the nearest tenth, we obtain 64.5 kilograms

Therefore the mass of the orangutan is 64.5 kilograms
