A diagram can be helpful.
When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.
The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...
... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5
so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.
... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)
... ABDC = 6 in²
_____
The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...
... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3
so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.
... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)
... AABD = 8 in²
_____
Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:
... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²
... AABC = 14 in²

It has been determined that the number of fish f(t) that can be caught in t minutes in a certain pond using a certain bait is f(t) = .25t + 1, for t > 10. Find the number of fish that can be caught if you fish for 15 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
Angular velocity: (
)
Linear velocity: (
)
Step-by-step explanation:
The gear experiments a pure rotation with axis passing through its center, the angular (), in radians per second, and linear velocities (
), in inches per second, of a point on the outer edge of the element are, respectively:
(1)
(2)
Where:
- Rotation rate, in revolutions per minute.
- Radius of the gear, in inches.
If we know that and
, then the linear and angular velocities of the gear are, respectively:
