A paddock contains ducks and sheep. There are a total of 42 heads and 96 feet in the paddock. Determine how many ducks and how many sheep are in the paddock using simultaneous elimination.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of ducks in paddock = 36

Number of sheep in paddock = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of ducks and s be the number of sheep

Then according to given statements, the equations will be:

[tex]d+s = 42\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\2d+4s = 96\ \ \ Eqn\ 2[/tex]

For elimination, multiplying equation 1 by 2 and then subtracting from equation 2:

[tex]2(d+s) = 2*42\\2d+2s = 84\\Subtraction:\\2d+4s-(2d+2s) = 96-84\\2d+4s-2d-2s = 12\\2s = 12\\\frac{2s}{2} = \frac{12}{2}\\s = 6[/tex]

Putting s = 6 in equation 1:

[tex]d+6 = 42\\d = 42-6\\d = 36[/tex]

Hence,

Number of ducks in paddock = 36

Number of sheep in paddock = 6

Answer 2

Number of sheep and Number of duck are 6 and 36

Elimination method:

Given that;

Number of total heads = 42

Number of total feet = 96

Find:

Number of ducks and sheep

Computation:

Number of legs in 1 sheep = 4

Number of legs in 1 duck = 2

So,

Assume;

Number of sheep = a

Number of duck = b

So,

a + b = 42 ...... Eq1

4a + 2b = 96 ......... Eq2

Eq2 / 2

2a + b = 48..... Eq3

From Eq 3 and Eq1

a = 6

So,

b = 36

Number of sheep = 6

Number of duck = 36

How many years, to the nearest tenth, will be needed for $5000 to increase to $18000 at 3.0% annual interest compounded

Answers

Complete question :

How many years, to the nearest tenth, will be needed for $5000 to increase to $18000 at 3.0% annual interest compounded monthly

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount (P) = 5000

Final amount (A) = 18000

Interest rate (r) = 3% = 0.03 compounded monthly

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

n = number of compounding timea per period

18000 = 5000(1 + 0.03 / 12)^12t

18000 / 5000 = (1 + 0.0025)^12t

3.6 = (1 + 0.0025)^12t

3.6 = 1.0025^12t

Take the In of both sides

1.2809338 = 1.03t

t = 1.2809338 / 1.03

A rectangular pyramid has a height of 8 meters. The base is 7 meters in length and 15 meters in width two different triangular cross sections are formed through the vertex and perpendicular to the base and to each other. What is the difference in the areas of the cross section? help- please-

Answers

Answer:

The difference in the areas of the cross section is 32 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the rectangular pyramid = 8 meters

The length of the base of the pyramid = 7 meters

The width of the base of the pyramid = 15 meters

Whereby triangular cross sections are formed through the vertex and perpendicular to the base, and to each other, we have;

The sides of the two triangles consists of the following;

1) Two slant height of the pyramid each

2) The two perpendicular lines joining the midpoints of the opposite sides of the base of the pyramid with length equal to the length of the adjacent side to the sides from which they are drawn which are 15 meters and 7 meters

3) The two lines and the corresponding slant height form triangles cross section which are perpendicular to each other.

the slant height, [tex]h_l[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]h_l[/tex] = √(8² + (15/2)²) ≈ 10.966

For the triangular cross section with base = 15 m

The area of the cross section = 1/2 × Base₁₅ × Height = 1/2 × 15 m × 8 m = 60 m²

For the triangular cross section with base = 7 m

The area of the cross section = 1/2 × Base₇ × Height = 1/2 × 7 m × 8 m = 28 m²

The difference in the areas of the cross section = 60 m² - 28 m² = 32 m².

The representation of 2 cents in dollar sign will be $0.02.

What is unit conversion?

To convert any unit into another is called a unit conversion.

In order to convert units, we need to care about their dimensions their dimension should not be changed.

It is known that,

$1 = 100 cents

Divide both sides by 100

$1/100 = 1 cents

Multiply by 2 on both sides,

$(1/100)2 = 2 cents

$0.02 = 2 cents

Hence "The representation of 2 cents in dollar sign will be $0.02".

A garden is in the shape of a right triangle. The base of the triangle is 12m, and the garden covers an area of 30m squared. What length of fence is needed to surround the garden?

Answers

Answer:

= 30m

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the length of the fence, find the perimeter of the triangle.

that is b + h + hyp assuming b is the base, h is height and hyp is hypotenuse.

we have the base; height and hypotenuse are not given.

to get the height,

area(A) = 30m2

base(B) = 12m

height(H) = ?

A = 0.5 x B x H

30m2 = 0.5 x 12m x H

30m2 = 6m x L

H = 30m2 / 6m

H = 5m

to get the hypotenuse,

we have to complete the Pythagorean family the base ,12, and height, 5. is in.

formula = a2 + b2 = c2, c is the hypotenuse, a and b can be interchanged either way with base and height.

             = (12 x 12) + ( 5 x 5) = c2

             = 144 + 25 = c2

             = 169 = c2

        c2 = 169

        c = 13

perimeter = b + h + hyp

                = 5 +12 + 13

                 = 30m
