Question 9

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

PX=4\\PY=4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \angle PYZ=Q

\Rightarrow \angle XYP=90-\angle PYZ\\\angle XYP=90-\theta

In the \Delta PYZ

\tan\theta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{PZ}{PY}......(1)

In the \Delta YPX

\tan(90-\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{PX}{PY}

\cot=\frac{PX}{PY}....(2)

eqn(1)\times eqn(2)

\tan\times\cot\theta=\frac{PZ}{PY}\times\frac{PX}{PY}\\\\1=\frac{PZ\times PX}{PY^2}\ \ (as\ tan\theta\ =\frac{1}{\cot\theta})\\\\PY^2=PZ\times PX\\PY^2=12PX.......(3)

Now in \Delta XYP

use Pythagorean theorem

XY^2=PY^2+PX^2\\8^2=PY^2+PX^2\ \ (as\ XY\ =8)\\PX^2+PY^2=64\\\\PY^2=12PX\ \ (eqn(3)\\\\\Rightarrow PX^2+12PX=64\\\\PX^2+12PX-64=0\\\\PX^2+16-4PX-64=0\\\\(PX+16)(PX-4)=0\\\\PX=4,\ -16

Length can not be negative

Hence PX=4

PY^2=12PX=12\times4=48\\\\PY=\sqrt{48}=4\sqrt{3}

Hence PX=4,\ PY=4\sqrt{3}

What is 2 2/15 - 1 2/3=<br> I ended up with 2 3/21 <br> Really need help with this!
QveST [7]

Answer:

2 \frac{2}{15}  - 1 \frac{2}{3}

=  \frac{32}{15}  -  \frac{5}{3}

=  \frac{32 \times 1 - 5 \times 5}{15}

= \frac{32 - 25}{15}

=  \frac{7}{15}

According to postal regulations, a carton is classified as "oversized" if the sum of its height and girth (the perimeter of its
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

18" X 18" X 36"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a square base container of height h, let a side of the base =s

The volume of the container, V= s^2h

If the sum of its height and girth (the perimeter of its base) equals 108 in

4s+h = 108\\h = 108-4s

Substituting h=108-4s into V

V= s^2(108-4s)

We are required to determine the maximum volume of such container, first we take the derivative:

V'(s)= s(216-12s)

Optimizing:

s(216-12s)=0\\216-12s=0\\12s=216\\s=216 \div 12\\s=18

Recall that: h = 108-4s

h = 108-4(18)=108-72=36inch

The dimensions of the carton are 18" X 18" X 36".
