An arch for a bridge over a highway is in the form of a semiellipse. The top of the arch is 35 feet above ground (the major axis

). What should the span of the bridge be (the length of its minor axis) if the height 25 feet from the center is to be 10 feet above ground?

For given problem:

Put midpoint of ellipse, (0,0) at epicenter of bridge at ground level.

Specified length of vertical major axis = 70=2a

a=35

a^2=1225

 

Equation of ellipse:

 

x^2/b^2+y^2=1

 

plug in coordinates of given point on ellipse(25, 10)

 

25^2/b^2 + 10^2/a^2 = 1

 

625/b^2 + 100/1225=1

 

625/b^2 = 1 - 100/ 1225 = .918

 

b^2 = 625/.918 ≈ 681

 

b ≈ 26.09

 

length of minor axis = 2b = 2(26.09) ≈ 52.16 ft

 

Span of bridge ≈ 52.16 ft

3. The simple interest on $6,000 for 4 years is $1,680. *
Nana76 [90]
Substituting the numbers into the simple interest formula, we get
I=. p r t
1,680=(3000)(r)(8). Multiplying
1,680= 24,000r Divide both sides by 24,000
0.07= r
So, the percentage is (0.07)(100)= 7%...

height,h = 3"

base, b = length, l = 2

area of triangle, t = bxh/2...eqn 1

area of square, s = l^2...eqn 2

area of pyramid, p =4t + s...eqn 3

subst h = 3 and b = 2 in eqn 1

t = 3x2/2 = 3

subst l =2 in eqn 2

s = 2^2 = 4

subst t = 3 & s = 4 in eqn 3

p = 4(3) + 4 = 16sq inch

What times what equals 11
11111nata11111 [884]
0.5x22=11. To get answers like that, all you have to do is divide 11 by anything and then that number times the number you divided 11 by will give you the answer. So like 11 divided by 4 is 2.75. So 4x2.75=11.

Look at Figure X diagrammed on the graph below. Which of the following statements are true
zzz [600]

Check the picture below.

so, if we slap the bottom surplus to the empty area on the top, we can pretty much close off those squares above, that gives a solid area of at least a 4x5 square, the red part and the yellow part there, and that'd give us a perimeter of 4+4+5+5 = 20 at least.

we might also be able to augment the left-right sides together to close off those squares as well, but even if we did, our area will just be about a 4x6 or 24 square units.

A) is the area larger than 14 square units?  ✔

B)  is the area less than 35 square units?  ✔

C)  is the perimeter more than 16?  ✔
