I feel like I am watching my body float away from me
I am sad and tired and angry and scared
because at least when I was me I knew why I hated me
and now I just feel so stuck and trapped
AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE anyone good at physics
a.) The base of a pyramid covers an area of 10.4 acres (1 acre = 43560 ft2) and has a height of 452 ft. If the volume of a pyramid is given by the expression V = (1/3)bh, where b is the area of the base and h is the height, find the volume of this pyramid in cubic meters. Do not enter units.
b.) Solve the given system of linear equations.Give your solution in the form of an ordered pair, (x,y).
{2.5x+13.5y=−39
−1.1x−16.3y=6.8}
c.) One gallon of paint (volume = 3.78E-3m3) covers an area of 27.8m2. What is the thickness of the paint on the wall?
d.) You are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on the opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree to be 36°. You then walk 35 feet directly away from the tree and again measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree, as shown in the figure.*insert figure here but I'm too lazy to actually do that*
If the second measurement is 28°, how tall is the tree?
e.)Solve the given system of linear equations.
Give your solution in the form of an ordered triple, (x,y,z).
{−22x−10y−5z=−859
14x−21y−11z=727
−20x−14y+9z=−829
“You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes".”
“It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.”
“I'd rather die my way than live yours.”
“I run for I don't know how long. Hours, maybe, or days. Alex told me to run. So I run. You have to understand. I am no one special. I am just a single girl. I am five feet two inches tall and I am in-between in every way. But I have a secret. You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope,and without fear. I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.”
“Hate isn’t the most dangerous thing, he’d said. Indifference is.”
“I know that the whole point—the only point—is tofind the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.”
“It's amazing how words can do that, just shred your insides apart. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me - such bullshit.”
"One of the strangest things about life is that it will chug on, blind and oblivious, even as your private world - your little carved-out sphere - is twisting and morphing, even breaking apart. One day you have parents; the next day you're an orphan. One day you have a place and a path. The next day you're lost in the wilderness.And still the sun rises and clouds mass and drift and people shop for groceries and toilets flush and blinds go up and down. That's when you realize that most of it - life, the relentless mechanism of existing - isn't about you. It doesn't include you at all. It will thrust onward even after you've jumped the edge. Even after you're dead.”
“Snapshots, moments, mere seconds: as fragile and beautiful and hopeless as a single butterfly, flapping on against a gathering wind.”
“It's like a razor blade edging its way through my organs, shredding me, all I can think is: It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.”
“Sometimes I feel as though there are two me's, one coasting directly on top of the other: the superficial me, who nods when she's supposed to nod and says what she's supposed to say, and some other, deeper part, the part that worries and dreams... Most of the time they move along in sync and I hardly notice the split, but sometimes it feels as though I'm two whole different people and I could rip apart at any second.”
“I've learned to get really good at this - say one thing when I'm thinking about something else, act like I'm listening when I'm not, pretend to be calm and happy when I'm really freaking out. It's one of the skills you perfect as you get older”
“That's when you really lose people, you know.When the pain passes.”
“Everyone you trust, everyone you think you can count on, will eventually disappoint you.”
“I’ll tell you another secret, this one for your own good. You may think the past has something to tell you. You may think that you should listen, should strain to make out its whispers, should bend over backward, stoop down low to hear its voice breathed up from the ground, from the dead places. You may think there’s something in it for you, something to understand or make sense of.¨
“They say the cure is about happiness, but I understand now that it isn't, and it never was. It's about fear: fear of pain, fear of hurt, fear, fear, fear - a blind animal existence, bumping between walls, shuffling between ever-narrowing hallways, terrified and dull and stupid.”
“I've been so used to thinking of what the borders are keeping out that I haven't considered that they're also penning us in.”
“We stand there for a moment, looking at each other, and in that instant I feel our connection so strongly it's as though it achieves physical existence, becomes a hand all around us, cupping us together, protecting us. This is what people are always talking about when they talk about god: this feeling, of being held and understood and protected. feeling this way seems about as close to saying a prayer as you could get...”
“You came from different starts and you'll come to different ends.”
“Time jumps. It leaps. It pours away like water through fingers.”
“I wish I could close my eyes and be blown into dust and nothingness, feel all my thoughts disperse like dandelion fluff drifting off on the wind. But his hands keep pulling me back: into the alley, and Portland, and a world that has suddenly stopped making sense.”
“My stomach gets that hollowed-out feeling. It's amazing how words can do that, just shred your insides apart.”
“I don't know whether these feelings - this thing growing inside of me - is something horrible and sick or the best thing that's ever happened to me. Either way, I can't stop it. I've lost control. And the truly sick thing is that despite everything, I'm glad.”
“Rainstorms are incredible: falling shards of glass, the air full of diamonds.”
“Suicide. A sideways word, a word that people whisper and mutter and cough: a word that must be squeezed out behind cupped palms or murmured behind closed doors. It was only in dreams that I heard the word shouted, screamed."
“I hate skin; I hate bones and bodies."
