On moving day, Jorge needs to rent a truck. The length of the cargo space is 12 ft, and the height is 1 ft less than the width.

The brochure indicates that the truck can hold 504 ft3. What are the dimensions of the cargo space? Assume that the cargo space is in the shape of a rectangular solid.

Answer:

12ft \times7ft \times6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that truck can hold = 504 ft^{3} i.e.

Volume, V = 504 ft^{3}

Length of cargo space = 12 ft

Let width of cargo space = w ft

As per question statement:

Let height of cargo space = (w-1) ft

To find: The Dimensions of Cargo Space

Formula for Volume of Cargo Space:

V = Length \times Width \times Height

Putting the given values and conditions:

504 = 12 \times w \times (w-1)

\Rightarrow w(w-1) = \dfrac{504}{12}\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w = 42\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w - 42=0\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -7w +6w -42 =0\\\Rightarrow w(w -7) +6(w -7) =0\\\Rightarrow (w -7)(w+6) = 0\\\Rightarrow w =7, -6

Dimensions can not be negative, so width, w = 7 ft

Height = (w-1) = 7-1 = 6 ft

So, the dimensions are 12ft \times7ft \times6ft.

∠R and ∠S are complementary. If m∠R = (2x+7) and m∠S = (4x - 13), find m∠R
____ [38]

Answer:

m∠R = 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, we can set up an equation to get x then find the measure of ∠R:

m∠R + m∠S = 90

2x+7+4x-13=90

6x+7-13=90

6x-6=90

6x=96

x=16

Since m∠R = (2x+7), 2x+7 would be 2(16)+7 or 39 degrees. So in conclusion, m∠R = 39 degrees

a (1,4) b (-1,2) c (5,-2) are the vertices of triangle abc find the sum of coordinates of the point where the right bisector of
zmey [24]

Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the midpoint of BC:

midpoint = (-1+5)/2, (2-2)/2 = (2, 0).

The slope of BC = (2 - -2) / (-1-5) = -2/3.

Find the equation of the right bisector of BC:

The slope = -1 / -2/3 = 3/2.

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 0 = 3/2(x - 2)

y = 3/2x - 3.

Now find the equation of the median through C:

The midpoint of AB = (1 - 1)/2, (4+2)/2

= (0, 3).

The equation of the median:

The slope = (-2-3) / (5-0)

= -1.

The equation is:

y - 3 = -1(x - 0)

y -3 = -x.

Now we find the point of intersection by solving the 2 equations:

y - 3 = -x

y = 3/2x - 3

y = -x + 3

So:

3/2x - 3 = -x + 3

3/2x + x = 6

5/2 x = 6

x = 12/5.

y =  -12/5 + 3

= -12/5 + 15/5

= 3/5.

The sum of the coordinates = 12/5 + 3 /5

= 15/5

= 3.
