Mary walks from corner D to corner E to corner F on a city block that measures 264 feet wide and 900 feet long. Kate walks diago

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

Answer:

  • arc BC: 8.55 cm
  • chord BC: 8.03 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc that subtends central angle α will be ...

  s = rα . . . . where α is in radians

The central angle BOC is twice the measure of angle QBC, so is 70°, or 7π/18 radians. So, the length of arc BC is ...

  s = (7 cm)(7π/18) ≈ 8.55 cm . . . arc BC

__

For central angle α and radius r, the chord subtending the arc is ...

  c = 2r·sin(α/2)

  c = 2(7 cm)sin(35°) ≈ 8.03 cm . . . . chord AB

Planes S and R both intersect plane T .
neonofarm [45]
<h2>[A] Plane S contains points B and E.</h2>

False

As indicated in Figure A below, Plane S contains only point B (remarked in red). Point E (remarked in blue) lies on plane R.

<h2>[B] The line containing points A and B lies entirely in plane T.</h2>

True

As indicated in Figure B below, the line containing points A and B lies entirely in plane T. That line has been remarked in red and it is obvious that lies on plane T.

<h2>[C] Line v intersects lines x and y at the same point.</h2>

False

As indicated in Figure C below, line v intersects lines x and y, but line x in intersected at point B while line y (remarked in red) is intersected at point A (remarked in blue), and they are two different points, not the same.

<h2>[D] Line z intersects plane S at point C.</h2>

True

As indicated in Figure D below, line z that has been remarked in yellow, intersects plane S at point C that has been remarked in blue.

<h2>[E]  Planes R and T intersect at line y.</h2>

True

As indicated in Figure E below, planes R and T intersect at line y. The line of intersection has been remarked in red.
