20.40 ft^{2}

Depicted is a right triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the ground (see image). The provided measurements correspond to the two legs of this triangle, while the missing length is the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem is used to find this missing side: a^{2} +  b^{2} =  c^{2}

Given values:
A = 20
B = 4
C = ?

The calculation is illustrated in the attached image. The length of the ladder (the missing side), rounded to two decimal places, is 20.40ft^{2}

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to evaluate:

0.1m + 8 - 12n

When m=30, n=\frac{1}{4}

By substituting these values into the expression, we have:

0.1m+8-12n=0.1(30)+8-12(\frac{1}{4})\\=3+8-\frac{12}{4}\\=3+8-3\\=8

The formula F=9/5(k-273.15)+32 converts a temperature from kelvin K to degrees Fahrenheit F.
Svet_ta [12734]

Step One

Deduct 32 from both sides.

F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

Step Two

Multiply each side by \frac{5}{9}.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = k - 273.15

Step Three

Add 273.15 to both sides.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15 = k

Problem B

F = 180

Solve for k

k = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9}(180 - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9} \times 148 + 273.15

k = 82.2222 + 273.15

k = 355.3722

k = 355.4  <<< Answer

What is the answer? The glee club has 120 cupcakes to sell. they have decided to arrange the cupcakes in the shape of a rectangl
PIT_PIT [12445]
<span>Determine the configuration of columns and rows for the rectangular arrangement of 120 cupcakes.
=> There must be an even number of rows and an odd number of columns.
=> 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 15
=> 120 = 8 x 15
=> 120 = 120
Consequently, the glee club should organize the cupcakes in 8 rows and 15 columns.
This totals up to 120 cupcakes altogether.

A batch of 20 semiconductor chips is inspected by choosing a sample of 3 chips. Assume 10 of the chips do not conform to custome
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

To inspect a batch consisting of 20 semiconductor chips, a sample of 3 is selected. Out of these, 10 chips fail to meet customer specifications.

a) Total distinct samples possible = 20C3 =  \frac{20!}{3!(17!)} =1140

b) For exactly 2 good chips and 1 bad chip

Total samples = 10C2 * 10C1 = 45 * 10 =450

c) Combinations of 2 good 1 bad, 1 good 2 bad, and 3 bad chips

Total samples = 10C2 * 10C1 + 10C1 * 10C2 + 10C3

= 450+450+120=1020

Frank has X stamps and Chris has 8 more than 7 times the number of stamps Frank has. How many stamps do Frank and Chris have in
zzz [12365]
I think the right answer is D. 8x+8;
This is because Frank possesses X stamps while Chris has 8 plus 7 times the number of stamps Frank holds, making the total 8 + 7x (which is 7 times Frank's amount), so when you add Frank's stamps (x) to 8 + 7x, it results in 8 + 8x.

I hope this was helpful!
