A bridge has a single lane and is 122 feet long. The weight limit for the bridge is 20 tons. Each car that might be on the bridg

e is 7.4 feet long and weighs 1.2 tons. Each truck is 16 feet long and weighs 2.8 tons. Write an inequality you could use to find the number of trucks t that can fit on the bridge when there are 10 cars in the bridge.

Answer:

2.8 t ≤  12 tons  ,  16 t  ≤   48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of trucks on the bridge = t

Number of cars = 10

Total length of Bridge = 122 ft, and weight = 20 tons

Total length of Car = 7.4 ft, and weight = 1.2 tons

Total length of truck = 16 ft, and weight = 2.8 tons

Now, there are 10 cars on the bridge.

So, total length of bridge covered = 7.4 x 10 = 74 feet

Hence, the available length of bridge for trucks = 122 - 74 = 48 ft

Also, total weight of bridge covered = 1.2 x 10 = 12 tons

Hence, the available weight  of bridge for trucks = 20 - 12 = 8 tons

Hence, according to the question:

2.8 t ≤  12 tons    and

16 t  ≤   48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

Point A is located at (5, 10) and point B is located at (20, 25).
Alla [95]
Let's say the point is C, so C partitions AB into two pieces, where AC is at a ratio of 3 and CB is at  a ratio of 7, thus 3:7,

\bf \left. \qquad  \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(5,10)\qquad B(20,25)\qquad
\qquad 3:7
\\\\\\
\cfrac{AC}{CB} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies 7A=3B\implies 7(5,10)=3(20,25)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
{ C=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)}\\\
-------------------------------

\bf C=\left(\cfrac{(7\cdot 5)+(3\cdot 20)}{3+7}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(7\cdot 10)+(3\cdot 25)}{3+7}\right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{35+60}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{70+75}{10} \right)\implies C=\left(\cfrac{95}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{145}{10}  \right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{29}{2} \right)\implies C=\left( 9\frac{1}{2}~~,~~14\frac{1}{2}  \right)

An Isosceles triangle is a type of triangle in geometry that has two sides of equal length.

From the figure attached, triangle STR has two sides of equal length which are;

1.) ST and

2.) TR

The two equal sides (ST and TR) are called legs while the third side is called the base of the triangle.
