A wooden ramp used for moving equipment is 17 feet long. If the horizontal distance from the base of the ramp to the building is 15 feet, what is the vertical height of the top of the ramp?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8 feet

Cevap

8 feet
The scenario describes a right triangle where the ramp is the hypotenuse, and the distance to the building is one of the legs. Using the Pythagorean theorem, a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Plugging in the knowns gives 152+b2=17215^2 + b^2 = 17^2, which evaluates to 225+b2=289225 + b^2 = 289. Subtracting 225 from both sides yields b2=64b^2 = 64. The square root of 64 is 8, so the ramp reaches a vertical height of 8 feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the known and unknown sides of the right triangle formed by the ramp, the ground, and the building.
The hypotenuse (ramp) is c=17c = 17, the horizontal leg (ground) is a=15a = 15, and the vertical leg (height) is bb.
To determine which part of the Pythagorean theorem formula (a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2) needs to be solved.
2
Substitute the known values into the Pythagorean theorem and square them.
152+b2=17215^2 + b^2 = 17^2 becomes 225+b2=289225 + b^2 = 289.
To set up the equation for isolating the unknown variable.
3
Subtract 225 from 289 to isolate b2b^2, then take the square root.
b2=289−225=64b^2 = 289 - 225 = 64. Taking the square root gives b=64=8b = \sqrt{64} = 8.
To find the final linear measurement of the vertical height.

A naval submarine is traveling underwater at a constant speed of 20 feet per second20\text{ feet per second}. At this rate, how many miles will the submarine travel in exactly 1 hour1\text{ hour} and 6 minutes6\text{ minutes}?

(Note: 1 mile=5,280 feet1\text{ mile} = 5,280\text{ feet})

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 15

Cevap

15
First, the rate is given as 20 feet per second. The total time must be converted entirely to seconds: 1 hour and 6 minutes equals 66 minutes. Multiplying 66 minutes by 60 seconds per minute gives 3,960 seconds. Next, use the formula Distance = Rate × Time to find the distance in feet: 20 × 3,960 = 79,200 feet. Finally, convert this distance into miles by dividing by 5,280. 79,200 ÷ 5,280 = 15 miles.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the total travel time into seconds to match the unit of the given speed.
The total time is 3,960 seconds.
Rates and times must share the same time unit before multiplying.
2
Calculate the total distance traveled in feet by multiplying the speed by the time in seconds.
The distance is 79,200 feet.
Distance equals rate multiplied by time (d = r * t).
3
Convert the distance from feet into miles by dividing by 5,280.
The final distance is 15 miles.
The question asks for the final answer in miles, and there are 5,280 feet in one mile.

A diner has 44 gallons of buttermilk in its refrigerator. The kitchen staff uses 22 pints of buttermilk for each large batch of pancake batter. How many large batches of batter can the kitchen prepare?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1616

Cevap

1616 batches
First, convert the total volume from gallons to pints. Knowing that 11 gallon equals 44 quarts and 11 quart equals 22 pints, there are 88 pints in one gallon. Multiplying the 44 gallons by 88 gives 3232 pints in total. Then, divide the 3232 available pints by the 22 pints required for each batch to determine that exactly 1616 batches can be prepared.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the total buttermilk volume from gallons to pints.
4×8=324 \times 8 = 32 pints
To match the unit of measurement required for each batch of batter, knowing that there are 8 pints in a standard gallon (4 quarts per gallon × 2 pints per quart).
2
Divide the total pints by the number of pints used per batch.

During the post-mission safety debriefing, the senior inspector refused to pull punches, detailing every procedural violation in uncompromising language rather than downplaying the team's operational risks. In this context, what does the expression 'pull punches' mean?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Act with restraint or soften criticism

Cevap

Act with restraint or soften criticism
The idiom 'pull punches' figuratively means to soften criticism or act with restraint. The context clarifies this through the contrast phrase 'rather than downplaying the team's operational risks,' showing that pulling punches would mean holding back harsh truths.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence structure and context clues surrounding the target idiom.
The sentence states the inspector 'refused to pull punches' and instead gave 'uncompromising language rather than downplaying' risks.
Contrast words like 'rather than downplaying' indicate that pulling punches involves minimizing severity or holding back.
2
Determine the figurative meaning of the idiom in isolation and apply it to the scenario.
The idiom 'pull punches' originates from combat sports where a fighter deliberately softens a blow; figuratively, it means expressing criticism mildly or with restraint.
Because the inspector refused to pull punches, the inspector chose not to soften the criticism.
