Answer:

Option (3) is correct.

The coordinates of the vertices of the given isosceles trapezoid centered in the origin, with base 2a and OR=c are,

S(-a, 0) , Z(a, 0) , T(-b, c) and W(b, c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an isosceles trapezoid centered in the origin, with base 2a and OR = c.

We have to find the coordinates of vertices of the given isosceles trapezoid.

Since O is at center then , coordinates of O (0,0).

And base SZ given to be 2a .

So SO = OZ

SO + OZ = SZ ⇒ 2 (SO) = 2a ⇒SO = a

Since point S lies in second quadrant and x coordinates in second quadrant are negative, thus Coordinate of S is (-a, 0)

and Z lies in first quadrant , both x and y are positive,

So, coordinate of Z is (a, 0)

given OR = c so R lies on y axis , so R has coordinate (0,c)

Since point T lies in second quadrant and x coordinates in second quadrant are negative, thus Coordinate of T is of the form (-x, c)

also, W lies in first quadrant , both x and y are positive. Thus, coordinate of W is of the form (x,c)

When we compare from the given options, we get possible value of x is b,

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices of the given isosceles trapezoid centered in the origin, with base 2a and OR=c are,

S(-a, 0) , Z(a, 0) , T(-b, c) and W(b, c)

Option (3) is correct.

Anika [276]

Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.

$z=1$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=430$

We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

$y=2$

According to Pythagoras

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

$y^2=x^2+1^2$

$y^2=x^2+1$ .... (1)

Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.

$2^2=x^2+1^2$

$4=x^2+1$

$4-1=x^2$

$3=x^2$

Taking square root both sides.

$\sqrt{3}=x$

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

$2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}+0$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y\frac{dy}{dt}=x\frac{dx}{dt}$

Put $x=\sqrt{3}$ , y=2, $\frac{dx}{dt}=430$ in the above equation.

$2\frac{dy}{dt}=\sqrt{3}(430)$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}(430)}{2}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=372.390923627$

$\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 372$

Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.
