Bradley and Kelly are out flying kites at a park one afternoon. A model of Bradley and Kelly's kites are shown below on the coor

dinate plane as kites BRAD and KELY, respectively:
Kite BRAD has the following coordinates: B is at point 3,7; R is at 4, 6; A is at point 3, 3; D is at point 2, 6. Kite KELY has the following coordinates: K is at point 11, 2; E is at point 9, 0; L is at point 3, 2; Y is at point 9,4.

Which statement is correct about the two kites?

A. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 1:2.
B. They are not similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 1:2.
C. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.
D. They are not similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.

I think C because it says KELY and BRAD, not BRAD and KELY. I also know that they are similar. Let me know if I'm correct.

The correct answer is:

C. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.

Using the distance formula,

d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

the lengths of the sides of BRAD are:

\text{BR}=\sqrt{(7-6)^2+(3-4)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\\\\\text{RA}=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(4-3)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+1^2}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{AD}=\sqrt{(3-6)^2+(3-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{DB}=\sqrt{(6-7)^2+(2-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}

The lengths of the sides of KELY are:

\text{KE}=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(11-9)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\\\\\text{EL}=\sqrt{(0-2)^2+(9-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+6^2}=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{LY}=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(3-9)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{YK}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(9-11)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}

Each side of KELY is twice the length of the corresponding side on BRAD.  This makes the ratio of the sides 2:1 and the figures are similar.

The correct answer is 'they are not similar because line BR : line DB is 1 : 2 and line KE : line YK is 1 : 3'. This is correct because I took the test and got it right.

A lidless box is to be made using 2m^2 of cardboard find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard
Jlenok [28]
1.8, Problem 37: A lidless cardboard box is to be made with a volume of 4 m3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard. Solution: If the dimensions of our box are x, y, and z, then we’re seeking to minimize A(x, y, z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz subject to the constraint that xyz = 4. Our first step is to make the first function a function of just 2 variables. From xyz = 4, we see z = 4/xy, and if we substitute this into A(x, y, z), we obtain a new function A(x, y) = xy + 8/y + 8/x. Since we’re optimizing something, we want to calculate the critical points, which occur when Ax = Ay = 0 or either Ax or Ay is undefined. If Ax or Ay is undefined, then x = 0 or y = 0, which means xyz = 4 can’t hold. So, we calculate when Ax = 0 = Ay. Ax = y − 8/x2 = 0 and Ay = x − 8/y2 = 0. From these, we obtain x 2y = 8 = xy2 . This forces x = y = 2, which forces z = 1. Calculating second derivatives and applying the second derivative test, we see that (x, y) = (2, 2) is a local minimum for A(x, y). To show it’s an absolute minimum, first notice that A(x, y) is defined for all choices of x and y that are positive (if x and y are arbitrarily large, you can still make z REALLY small so that xyz = 4 still). Therefore, the domain is NOT a closed and bounded region (it’s neither closed nor bounded), so you can’t apply the Extreme Value Theorem. However, you can salvage something: observe what happens to A(x, y) as x → 0, as y → 0, as x → ∞, and y → ∞. In each of these cases, at least one of the variables must go to ∞, meaning that A(x, y) goes to ∞. Thus, moving away from (2, 2) forces A(x, y) to increase, and so (2, 2) is an absolute minimum for A(x, y).

If probability of catching a cold is 0.03, what is the probability of 3 people out of six catching a cold?
xeze [42]

Answer:

P(X=x)=0.0004928

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem.

-Given the probability of catching a cold is 0.03, n=6

#The probability of exactly 3 people catching a cold is calculated as:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=3)={6\choose3}0.03^3(1-0.03)^3\\\\=0.0004928

Hence, the probability of exactly 3 in 6 people catching a cold is 0.0004928
