A high jumper starts the bar at 48 inches and raises the bar ½ inch after each jump. How high will the bar be after the seventh jump?

51.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The high jumper will be making seven jumps, increasing by 1/2 inch each time. In order to calculate how much it will be moved up from the original position we need to multiply 1/2 x 7 jumps = 3.5 inches. In order to calculate how high the bar will now be, we need to add together the original 48 inch height plus the 3.5 inches that it was been raised, so they total is 51.5 inches high.

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
