You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

isosceles triangle is formed. How long would the cloth have to be so that the opening of the tent was 8 feet wide and 3 feet high?

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft

Steps:
1. calculate the values of y at x=0,1,2. using y=5-x^2
2. calculate the areas of trapezoids (Bottom+Top)/2*height
3. add the areas.

1. 
x=0, y=5-0^2=5
x=1, y=5-1^2=4
x=2, y=5-2^2=1
2. 
Area of trapezoid 1 = (5+4)/2*1=4.5
Area of trapezoid 2 = (4+1)/2*1=2.5

Total area of both trapezoids = (4.5+2.5) = 7

Exact area by integration:
integral of (5-x^2)dx   from 0 to 2
=[5x-x^3/3] from 0 to 2
=[5(2-0)-(2^3-0^3)/3]
=10-8/3
=22/3
=7 1/3, slight greater than the estimation by trapezoids.

Question 4 (1 point) Determine whether the ordered pair (3,28) is a solution to the equation 2x- y/2 = -8 (3, 28) Is a solution
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

It is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8

Required

Determine if (3,28) is a solution

(3,28) implies that:

x = 3

y = 28

To check if it is a solution, we simply substitute values for x and y in the given equation;

2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8

2(3) - \frac{28}{2} = -8

6 - 14= -8

-8= -8

Since both sides of the equation are equal; then, Yes, it is a solution
