Answer:
12.9 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
It helps if you draw a triangle. Draw a horizontal segment. That is the ground. Now at the left end start a new segment that goes up to the right at approximately 15 degrees until it its other endpoint directly above the right endpoint of the horizontal segment. Connect these two endpoints. The vertical side on the right shows the height of the kite. The hypotenuse is the string.
For the 15-deg angle, the height of the triangle is the opposite leg, and the string is the hypotenuse. The trig ratio that relates the opposite leg tot he hypotenuse is the sine.
Answer:
The center is (2,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle is written as
(x-h)^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2
where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius
(x-2)^2+(y-8)^2=33
The center is (2,8) and the radius is sqrt(33)
Answer:
- 12 ft parallel to the river
- 6 ft perpendicular to the river
Step-by-step explanation:
The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.
72 = W(2W)
36 = W²
6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river
12 = 2W . . . . the length parallel to the river
_____
<em>Development of this relation</em>
Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...
A = xy = x(T -x)/2
Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...
x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2
The corresponding area width (y) is ...
y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4
Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.
Answer:Remember, the formula for slope is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
