Question

4. A painter needs to paint the trim along the top of a 25 foot wall. The painter has a 30 foot ladder and must place the bottom of the ladder 8 feet from the base of the wall. Will the painter be able to reach the trim? Mote: Make a sketch of the situation first 25 feet 8ft 30 feet 30 - 8 = 22 feet I don't think so be able to reach because it won't reach the distance from the height 5. A boat leaves the dock and heads due West for 4 miles and then heads straight North for another mile and a half. From there, the boat heads directly back to the dock. a) Sketch a drawing to model this situation. 1 1/2 miles 15.15 miles N W S E 4 miles b) Find the total distance traveled by the boat. 22.75 miles Dock 4 miles c) Assuming the boat's fuel efficiency is 1.6 miles per gallon of gas, how much gas was used? 23.75 1.6 = 14.84 gallon of gas d) The gas costs $4.19 per gallon, but you have a 15% off coupon. How much do you pay for the gas? 14.8 \times 14.19 $62.18 miles 62.18 (.85) = $52.84

Step 1

First, let's substitute the given values into the formula: I = (a + b) * (c - d) I = (10 + 20) * (30 - 40) Now, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses: I = 30 * (-10) Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

Please help answer all parts of question 5 (a-d). I attempted to solve the question but as you can see, I wasn't successful at it. Please show work. Determine the value of I when a = 10, b = 20, c = 30, and d = 40. Use the formula I = (a + b) * (c - d). I tried to solve it using the given values: I = (10 + 20) * (30 - 40) = 30 * (-10) = -300. However, I'm not sure if this is correct. Can you please confirm?
