Length of the base of the given triangle is (x+3) units and the perpendicular height is (x-1)units. If the area of the triangle is 10 square units, show that x satisfy the equation x2 + 2x - 23 = 0 Solve above equation and find the value of x to the nearest whole number and calculate the perpendicular height of the triangle. (Take V6 = 2.45)​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, in our case we know this is 10 :

(x+3)(x-1)/2 = 10

(x+3)(x-1) = 20

x² - x + 3x - 3 = 20

x² + 2x - 23 = 0

that is exactly the provided equation. so, yes, x satisfies it.

the general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 2

c = -23

x = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×1×-23))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 92))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(96))/2 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(16×6))/2 = (-2 ± 4×sqrt(6))/2 =

= -1 ± 2×sqrt(6)

x1 = -1 + 2×sqrt(6) = 3.898979486... ≈ 4

or using sqrt(6) ≈ 2.45

= -1 + 2×2.45 = -1 + 4.9 = 3.9 ≈ 4

x2 = -1 - 2×sqrt(6) = -5.898979486... ≈ -6

or using sqrt(6) ≈ 2.45

= -1 - 2×2.45 = -1 - 4.9 = -5.9 ≈ -6

x2 would give us negative lengths for the triangle, which does not make sense.

so, x = 4 is our solution.

and that makes the height x-1 = 4-1 = 3 units.

Answers

The value of the given cone with a volume of 144 has a width is 6 inches.

We have given that,

A box of cereal has a volume of 144 inches squared.

The height of the cereal box is 12 inches, and the depth is 2 inches.

The volume of cone = 144 inches squared.

height=12 inches

depth=2inches

What is the formula of the cube?

Area of a cube = V = L * W * H

L-length

W-width

H-height

We have to determine the width cereal box.

Plug the given values in the formula

V = L * W * H

144=2×12×width

Width=144/24

Width=6inches

Therefore the value of the width is 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

SHOW THAT:

sin³ 0 +cos³0 / sin 0+ cos 0 = 1 - sin 0 cos 0

Now, using the identity a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 + b^2 - ab):

sin³ 0 +cos³0  =  (sin 0 + cos 0)(sin² 0 +cos²0 - sin0 cos 0)

As sin² 0 +cos²0 = 1 we have:

sin³ 0 +cos³0 = ( sin 0 + cos 0)(1  - sin0 cos 0)

So we can write the left side of the original expression as

( sin 0 + cos 0)(1  - sin0 cos 0) / (sin 0+ cos 0)

ok so our equation is 20÷(5x2/5)+3

whats our first step? remember PEMDAS!

Its Parenthesis! so first we do the equation (5x2/5)

since multiplication and division are in the same "category" we go left to right

so first we do 5x2=10 and then we do 10/5 which is equal to 2!

ok now we add back the rest of our equation!

20÷2+3 since we already solved the Parenthesis

now what come first? division or addition?

its division because.. once again... PEMDAS!!

So now we do 20÷2 which is equal to 10!

now whats left is to add 3!

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = h(2) = - 16(2^2) + 128t + 140   ( NOTE: I added the minus sign)

                      = 332 feet

The maximum height  is 908 feet.For a parabola, h = ax^2 + bx + c, the vertex at point (h,t), is first found by the equation t = b / 2a, and then plugging that point into the equation to find h.

What is more about the problem?

For a parabola, h = ax^2 + bx + c, the vertex at point (h,k), is first found by the equation t = b / 2a, and then plugging that point into the equation to find h.

Given the equation h = 16t^2 + 128t + 140, we know a = 16, b = 128, c = 140.

t = -b/2a

t = -(128) / 2(16)

t = -128 / 32

t = 4 seconds

let's plug in t=4 to our equation:

h = 16t^2 + 128t + 140

h = 16*(4)^2 + 128*(4)+ 140

h =  908ft

h = 908 feet

answer is that the maximum height  is 908 feet.

What is a triangular prism?

A triangular prism is a solid geometrical shape made of three rectangles and two triangles.

Analysis:

base of triangle = 4 inches, height of triangle = 3 inches, length of rectangles = 7 inches

Total surface area of the triangular prism = area of two triangles + plus area of two slant rectangles + area of 1 straight face rectangle.

for the slant rectangle, the width of the rectangle, half the base of the triangle and the height of triangle form right- angled triangle using Pythagoras to solve for the width of the rectangle  we have

[tex]l^{2}[/tex] = [tex]2^{2}[/tex] + [tex]3^{2}[/tex]

l = [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] = 3.6

Total surface area = 2(1/2bh) + 2(l x b) + L x B

                               = 2 ( 1/2 x 2 x 3) + 2( 7 x 3.6) + 7 x 4 = 84.4 = 84 squared inches.

A pyramid has a height of 8 inches and a volume of 120 cubic inches. Determine 2
possibie shapes, with dimensions, for the base.

Answers

Answer:

1.     9 * 5 in.

2.    3 * 15 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = 1/3 * area of the base * height

120 = 1/3 * A * 8

So A = 120 / (8/3)

= 120 * 3/8

= 45 in^2.

So the dimensions of the base could be 9 * 5 in

or 3 * 15 in.

The possible shapes of the base are a square and a rectangular base.

What is a pyramid?

The volume of a pyramid depends upon the type of pyramid’s base, whether it is a triangle, square or rectangle. A pyramid is a polyhedron figure which has only one base. The base of the pyramid is a poly sided figure.

Given here: A pyramid has a height of 8 inches and a volume of 120 cubic inches. Then we have volume of the pyramid as

120=l×b×8

l×b = 15

Therefore possible dimensions can be 7.5 &7.5 (Square base ) and 5×3 (rectangular base)

Hence, The possible shapes of the base are a square and a rectangular base.
