The equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5

<h3>How to determine the boundaries?</h3>

The equation is given as:

25x^2 - 144y^2 + 3600 = 0

Subtract 3600 from both sides

25x^2 - 144y^2 = -3600

Divide both sides by -3600

\frac{y^2}{25} - \frac{x^2}{144} = 1

Express as squares

\frac{y^2}{5^2} - \frac{x^2}{12^2} = 1

The asymptotes' equation are then represented as:

y =\pm \frac{12}{5}

Hence, the equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5

The equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5.

<h3>What is Hyperbola?</h3>

A hyperbola, a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, has two pieces, called connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each other and resemble two infinite bows.

Here, the given equation:

     25x² – 144y² + 3,600 = 0

    25x² - 144y² = -3600

Divide whole equation by (-3600), we get

     -x²/144 + y²/25 = 1

      y²/5² - x²/12² = 1

The asymptotes' equation are then represented as:

     y = ± 12/5x

Thus, y equals twelve fifths x and y equals negative twelve fifths x.

If you earn $48,000 per year, how much will you receive on a biweekly basis?
Harrizon [31]

$48,000 a year is $1,846.15 biweekly before taxes and approximately $1,384.62 after taxes. Paying a tax rate of around 25% and working full-time at 40 hours a week, you would earn $1,384.62 after taxes. To calculate how much you make biweekly before taxes, you would multiply $23.08 by 40 hours and 2 weeks

theo made sails for a model boat.He cut along the diagonal of a rectangular piece of cloth to make two sails as shown below.What
schepotkina [342]
Given:

A rectangular piece of cloth (dimensions):

L = length of the rectangle
W = width of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle is:

A = L x W

If the cloth is cut along the diagonal, the area of one sail will be half the area of the rectangle:

 A (one sail) = 1/2 (L x W) <span />

100 points!! Brainliest if correct!!
Elena-2011 [213]

surface area (S) of a right rectangular solid is:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = a

H = 4

-----

formula becomes:

S = 2*7*a + 2*7*4 + 2*a*4

simplify:

S = 14*a + 56 + 8*a

combine like terms:

S = 22*a + 56

-----

answer is:

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

-----

to prove, substitute any value for a in equation 2:

let a = 15

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

S = 22*15 + 56

S = 330 + 56

S = 386

-----

since a = 15, then W = 15 because W = a

go back to equation 1 and substitute 15 for W:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = 15

H = 4

-----

equation 1 becomes:

S = 2*7*15 + 2*7*4 + 2*15*4

perform indicated operations:

S = 210 + 56 + 120

S = 386

-----

surface area is the same using both equations so:

equations are good.

formula for surface area of right rectangle in terms of a is:

S = 22*a + 56

-----
