Answer:

w≅8.46ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

focus=8

vertex=(0,0)

width=?

depth (y)=3ft

parabola equation: (x-h)^{2}=4p(y-k); then for V=(0,0), x^{2} =4py, be focus(f)=8in;  x^{2} =4*8*y=32y → y=\frac{x^{2} }{32}

we have that y=3ft then 3=\frac{x^{2} }{32}; but 1in≅0.083ft so x^{2} =3*32*0.083=7.968 → x=±2.82, finally w=3*2.82≅8.46ft

The length of a side of a triangle is 26 in. A line, parallel to the given side ,divides the triangle into 2 parts of equal area
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

13√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas of the larger triangle, and the smaller triangle (formed when the larger triangle was cut by the parallel line) are similar. Therefore we can compare their areas:

Area1/Area2 =  (Length1)^2/(Length2)^2,

x/2x = (Length1)^2/(26)^2,

1/2 = (Length1)^2/676,

(Length1)^2 = 676/2 = 338

Length1 = √1352 = 13√2

Could someone help me pls with this question it is math !
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

B) 275n + 1000 = 2700

Step-by-step explanation:

n is just a placer holder for how many days the Carter family can vacate.

That being said, the question says that they will spend 275 per day, which is per n. You want to multiply 275 by n.

Then the question says it plans to spend $1000 on meals (that's a lot). Instead of substracting, you are going to add for this equation. You want the equation to match; you want both sides to equal 2700 so you can determine how many days you can spend there.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin{x}=\frac{5}{13}, \cos{x}=\sqrt{1-(\frac{5}{13})^2}=\frac{12}{13}

\sin{y}=\frac{8}{17}, \cos{y}=\sqrt{1-(\frac{8}{17})^2}=\frac{15}{17}

\cos(x+y)=\cos{x}\cos{y}-\sin{x}\sin{y}\\=\frac{12}{13}\times\frac{15}{17}-\frac{5}{13}\times\frac{8}{17}\\=\frac{140}{221}
