A 120-inch strip of metal 12 inches wide is to be made into a small open trough by bending up two sides on the long side, at rig
1 answer:
Answer:
x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of trough be x.
Width of trough be 12 - 2x.
and length of trough = 120 inch
Volume of trough, V = L×W×H = 120 × (12-2x) × x = 120x(12 - 2x)
For maximum volume, we find V' = 0
i.e 1440 -480x = 0
or x =
or x= 3
Hence x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side

Given:
In the given figure the vertices of triangle ABC are A(-2,2), B(4,2), C(-2,-2).
The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-4,4), B'(8,4), C'(-4,-4).
To find:
The center of dilation and the scale factor.
Solution:
In the given graph, draw the lines AA', BB' and CC'. The intersection point of these lines is the center of dilation.
From the below graph, it is clear that the lines AA', BB' and CC' intersect each other at (0,0).
Therefore, the center of dilation is (0,0).
If a figure is dilated by factor k and the center of dilation is origin, then
It is given that A'(-4,4). So,
On comparing both sides, we get
Therefore, the scale factor is 2.
