The longest diagonal

Mathematics

The diagonals are:
diagonal₁=2x+3y
diagonal₂=(x+8)+(2y+5)
We have to solve the following system of equations:
2x=3y
(x+8)=(2y+5)
We solve this system by substitution method:
2x=3y ⇒x=3y/2

(3y/2 +8)=2y+5
3y+16=4y+10
-y=-6
y=6

x=3y/2=3*6/2=9

we obtain the measure of the diagonals:
diagonal₁=2x+3y=2*9+3*6=18+18=36
diagonal₂=(x+8)+(2y+5)=(9+8)+(2*6+5)=17+17=34

Answer: The longest diagonal is 36 units.

what is the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube

Dmitrij [34]

Let the least possible value of the smallest of 99 cosecutive integers be x and let the number whose cube is the sum be p, then

$\frac{99}{2} (2x+98)=p^3 \\ \\ 99x+4,851=p^3\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{p^3-4,851}{99}$

By substitution, we have that $p=33$ and $x=314$ .

Therefore, <span>the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube is 314.</span>

Please help if you can thanks ^^

Given:

AD is an angle bisector in triangle ABC. $m\angle CAB=44^\circ, m\angle ACB=72^\circ, m\angle ABC=64^\circ$ .

To find:

The value of $m\angle ADC$ .

Solution:

AD is an angle bisector in triangle ABC.

$m\angle CAD=m\angle BAD=\dfrac{m\angle CAB}{2}$

$m\angle CAD=m\angle BAD=\dfrac{44^\circ}{2}$

$m\angle CAD=m\angle BAD=22^\circ$

According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Using angle sum property in triangle CAD, we get

$m\angle CAD+m\angle ADC+m\angle ACB=180^\circ$

$22^\circ+m\angle ADC+72^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle ADC+94^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle ADC=180^\circ-94^\circ$

$m\angle ADC=86^\circ$

Therefore, the angle of angle ADC is $86^\circ$ .

4. Which of the following lines is perpendicular to y = -2X + 8?

Alenkinab [10]

For this case we have to by definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of its slopes is -1.

That is to say:

$m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

We have the following equation:

$y = -2x + 8$

So:

$m_ {1} = - 2$

Thus:

$m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {- 2}\\m = \frac {1}{2}$

Thus, a line perpendicular to the given line must have slope $m = \frac {1} {2}.$

Option A:

$x + 2y = 8\\2y = -x + 8\\y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 4$

It is not perpendicular!

Option B:

$x-2y = 6\\2y = x-6\\y = \frac {1} {2} x-3$

If it is perpendicular!

Option C:

$2x + y = 4\\y = -2x + 4$

It is not perpendicular!

Option D:

$2x-y = 1\\y = 2x-1$

It is not perpendicular!

The correct option is option B

ANswer:

Option B

2. In a recent survey conducted by the International Nanny Association, 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. Only

Natali [406]

Answer:

There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that:

Desired outcomes:

The number of male nannies selected. 24 of the nannies placed were men. So the number of desired outcomes is 24.

Total outcomes:

The number of nannies selected. 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. So the number of total outcomes 4176.

Find the probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").

$P = \frac{24}{4176} = 0.0057$

There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").
