Answer:

about 252.78 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Define angle QMP as α. Then ...

MN = 60·sin(α)

NP = 60·cos(α)

area MPN = (1/2)(MN)(NP) = 1800sin(α)cos(α)

PQ = 60tan(α)

area MPQ = (1/2)(MP)(PQ) = 1800tan(α)

The ratio of areas is 2.5, so we have ...

1800tan(α) = 2.5·1800sin(α)cos(α)

1 = 2.5cos(α)² . . . . . . divide by 1800tan(α)

cos(α) = √0.4 . . . . . . solve for cos(α)

Then the perimeter is ...

Perimeter = MN +NP +PQ +QM = 60sin(α) +60cos(α) +60tan(α) +60/cos(α)

= 60(sin(α) +cos(α) +tan(α) +sec(α))

= 60(0.774597 +0.632456 +1.224745 +1.581139)

= 60(4.212936) = 252.776

The perimeter of the trapezoid is about 252.776 feet.

With perhaps a little more trouble, you can find the exact value to be ...

perimeter = (6√10)(7+√6+√15)

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer . Roy answered all t

katovenus [111]

Answer:

20 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Correct \Marks= +5$

$Incorrect\ Marks= -2$

$Score\ Obtained = 30$

$Number\ of\ correct\ answers = 10$

Required

Number of questions answered

First, we need to get the total correct marks obtained by Roy

This is calculated by multiplying the correct marks by number of correct answers

$Total = +5 * 10$

$Total = +50\ marks$

Subtract this from the total scores obtained; This gives the total incorrect answer obtained by Roy

$Incorrect = Scores\ Obtained - Total$

$Incorrect = 30 - (+50)$

Open bracket

$Incorrect = 30 - 50$

$Incorrect = -20$

Divide this by -2 to get the number of incorrect answers

$Incorrect\ Answers = \frac{-20}{-2}$

$Incorrect\ Answers = 10$

Add this to the number of correct answers to give the total number of question answered

$Total = Correct\ Answers + Incorrect\ Answers$

$Total = 10 + 10$

$Total = 20$

<em>Hence, Roy answered a total of 20 questions</em>

How do i solve v=pi/3*r (squared)h for h

Colt1911 [192]

$V=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\cdot r^2h\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\pi r^2h=3V\ \ \ \ |\divide\ both\ sides\ by\ \pi r^2\\\\\boxed{h=\dfrac{3V}{\pi r^2}}$

You want to place a towel bar that is 10 1⁄4 inches long in the center of a door that is 26 1⁄3 inches wide. How far should you

mestny [16]

$\frac{26 \frac{1}{3} -10 \frac{1}{4}}{2}=\\ \frac{ \frac{79}{3} - \frac{41}{4} }{2} =\\ \frac{ \frac{79}{3} * \frac{4}{4} - \frac{41}{4} * \frac{3}{3} }{2} =\\ \frac{ \frac{356}{12}- \frac{123}{12} }{2} =\\ \frac{ \frac{233}{12} }{2} =\\ \frac{233}{24} =\\ 9\frac{17}{24}$

9 17/24 inches.
