The base of a triangle is 4 ft more than the height. If the area is 30ft2, find the base and the height.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 10 ft. and the height = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

base is 4 + h  ⇔  base = 4 + h

height = h

Using the formula for the area of triangle substitute into the formula the given facts.

A = 1/2bh

30 = 1/2(4 + h) (h)

30 = 1/2(4h + h²)     Multiply both sides by 2

60 = 4h + h²

-60 =           -60      Add -60 to both sides

0 = h²+ 4h -60        

(h + 10)(h - 6) = 0      Factor

h + 10 = 0    h - 6 =0

h = -10         h = 6

reject any negative number and use the positive answer for h.

So h = 6      and the base = 4 + 6 ; base = 10

a certain pharmaceutical company know that, on average 4% of a certain type of pill has an ingredient that is below the minimum strength and thus unacceptable. what is the probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable?

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

For each pill, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is acceptable, or it is not. The probability of a pill being acceptable is independent of any other pill, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The sample has 20 pills, hence [tex]n = 20[/tex].100 - 4 = 96% are acceptable, hence [tex]p = 0.96[/tex]

The probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable is:

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{20} = 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.96)^{1}.(0.04)^{19} = 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.96)^{2}.(0.04)^{18} = 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.96)^{3}.(0.04)^{17} = 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.96)^{4}.(0.04)^{16} = 0[/tex]

0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

A plane traveled 960 miles each way to Jakarta and back. The trip there was with the wind. It took 10 hours. The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 20 hours. What is the speed of the plane in still air? What is the speed of the wind?

Answers

Answer:

Wind speed = 40 km/hr

Speed of the plane in still air = 280km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to use

Distance = Rate multiplied by Time

D = R × T

Speed of the plane in still air = a

Speed of the wind = b

Plane with the wind (tailwind) is a + b where the time = 3hours

Plane against the wind is a - b, where the time = 4hours

This would give us 2 equations

3 × (a+ b) = 960

3a + 3b = 960 ...... Equation 1

4 × (a- b) = 960

4a - 4b = 960 ........ Equation 2

Solve this like you would with system of equations:

We solve the equation using elimination method.

Mulitply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by -3

4 × (3a + 3b = 960)

12a + 12b = 3840 ..... Equation 4

-3 × (4a- 4b = 960)

-12a + 12b= -2880 ........ Equation 5

Therefore we have

12a + 12b = 3840 ..... Equation 4

-12a + 12b= -2880 ........ Equation 5

24b = 960

b = 960÷ 24

b = 40

Wind Speed = 40km/hr

To find the speed of air, we use equation 2

4a - 4b = 960 ........ Equation 2

Substituting 40 which is wind of speed for b in equation 2 we would have

4a - 4(40) = 960

4a - 160 = 960

4a = 960 + 160

4a = 1120

a = 1120 ÷ 4

a = 280

The speed of the small plane in still air is 280 km/hr

I think "u" stands for units. [tex]u^2[/tex] means units squared which is like saying ft^2 if you were looking for the area of something with feet dimensions.

The diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid with angle to the base is equal to 30. Find the length of the height of the trapezoid if it is known that the midline of this trapezoid is equal to 8 cm.

Answers

Answer:

4.62 cm to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides are x and y then:

x + y = 2*8 = 16

x + y = 16

If we drop a perpendicular line from one of the upper points on the trapezoid we have the height.  Let the upper point be C and the point on the base be A. Let the point on right of the base be B.

AC is the height of the trapezoid.  AB is the baseline of the triangle CAB.

In triangle CAB the angle B is 30 degrees.

As this is a 30-60-90 degree triangle

AC/AB = 1/√3 so AC = AB/ √3.

As the trapezoid is isosceles:

AB = x + 0.5(y - x)

AB = 0.5x + 0.5y

So AC = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5y)

           = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5(16 - x))   (Substituting for x)

            = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 8 - 0.5x)

             =8 / √3    

.              = 4.6188 cm

John is driving around town. When he reaches the gas station, he notes that he has traveled 18 miles. He reaches home 2 hours later and notes that he has traveled 34 miles. If d represents the distance and t represents the time, in hours, John has traveled since the gas station, which of the following equations can be used to model this situation?

1. d = 18t + 52
2. d = 16 + 18t
3. d = 8t + 18
4. d = 8t - 18

Answers

2. d=16 + 18t because 18 represents the miles he noted and adding the 16 would be 34. Since t is representing time, and you don’t know in how much time he traveled 18 miles it’d be with the 18.

Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC. Prove that ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.​

Answers

Answer is below in the picture:-

(From the problem, we know (triangle)ABC (round of equal of) (triangle)A'B'C'. So, <A'B'C' = <ABC {the properties of congruent triangles}. So, ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA')

I hope it helps.

It is proved that the ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.

What are angle bisectors?

Angle bisectors are lines who bisect the considered angle. Bisect refers to splitting in two equal parts. Therefore, the bisected parts of the considered angle are half of the original angle.

When a graph is reflected along an axis, say x axis, then that leads the graph to go just in opposite side of the axis as if it in a mirror.

We will find that its symmetric, thus each point is equidistant from the axis of reflection as that of the image of that point.

From the given problem, we know Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC.

Therefore, <A'B'C' = <ABC

By the properties of congruent triangles. Means if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

Hence, the ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA'.
