The width of a golden rectangle is 15 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest foot.

Mathematics
1 answer:
topjm [15]2 years ago

Answer:

79 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Golden rectangle side ratios   1 : (1+sqrt5 )/2

      (approx  1: 1.618)

15 + 15   +  2*15*1.618 = <u>~79 ft </u>

BUT perhaps the 15 is the 1.618 side

15/1.618 + 15/1.618   + 15 + 15   ~ 49 feet

One end of a ladder 32 feet long is placed 10 feet from the outer wall of a building that stands on the ground level. How far up
ladessa [460]

Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a classic right triangle problem, where the length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse, where the ladder is lengthwise from the building is the base of the triangle, and what we are looking for is the height of the triangle.  Pythagorean's Theorem will help us find this length.

32^2-10^2=y^2 so

1024 - 100 = y^2 and

y = 30.4 so 30 feet

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)? y squared over 40 minus x square
N76 [4]

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the hyperbola?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Directrices at x = ±2
  • Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)

The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:

Foci = (k ± c, h)

The center is:

Center = (h,k)

And the directrix is:

Directrix, x = h ± a²/c

By comparison, we have:

k ± c = ±5

h = 0

h ± a²/c = ±2

Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2

0 ± a²/c = ±2

This gives

a²/c = 2

Multiply both sides by c

a² = 2c

k ± c = ±5 means that:

k ± c = 0 ± 5

By comparison, we have:

k = 0 and c = 5

Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c

a² = 2 * 5

a² = 10

Next, we calculate b using:

b² = c² - a²

This gives

b² = 5² - 10

Evaluate

b² = 15

The hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - k)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - h)^2}{b^2} = 1

So, we have:

\frac{(x - 0)^2}{10} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{15} = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

The boxplot below shows salaries for CPAs and Actuaries in a town. 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Salary (thousands of $) Actuary CPA
GuDViN [60]

Answer: 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we have to know the meaning of a box plot. Boxplots are especially useful in statistical analysis and gives us a meaningful range of values. A box plot consists of 2 shapes, which are the box part and the extended lines. The short sides of the  box and the vertical line in the middle of the box represent a certain percentage of the values. The vertical line in the boxplot is the median of your dataset. For example, according to the shape given in the question, the median value for CPA's is 50 and this is closer to the left side of the box. This means that the first half ogf the dataset (when ranked from the smallest to the greatest) is closer to each other. The sides of the box represent the values at the 25% and 75% of the values respectfully.

For example, if we have 100 values, we rank them in order and the 25th value corresponds to the left side of the boxplot (named first quartile), 50th value (which is also the median)  corresponds the vertical line in the box and and the 75the value corresponds to the right side of the box (named third quartile).

The extended arms are calculated as accordingly: IQR=(3rd quartile value-1st quartile value). Left extended arm is first quartile-1.5*IQR and right extended arm is third quartile+1.5*IQR. However, this information is not directly related to this question.

Now, this question should seem simpler. The median salary of CPA is 50 and this is equal to left side of the Actuary boxplot, which corresponds to the 25% of actuaries. As a result, CPA median salary is less than 75% of the Actuaries (100%-25%).
