The measure of EC is 1 ft.

Solution:

Given data:

AD = 8 ft, DB = 2 ft, AE = 4 ft

To find the measure of EC:

Using triangle proportionality theorem,

<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two side proportionally.</em>

$\frac{AD}{DB} =\frac{AE}{EC}

$\frac{8}{2} =\frac{4}{EC}

Do cross multiplication.

8EC=2\times 4

8 EC = 8

Divide by 8 on both side of the equation, we get

EC = 1

EC = 1 ft

Hence the measure of EC is 1 ft.

A cylindrical package with half a hemisphere to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length (height of the cy
artcher [175]

Answer:

36 x 18 x 18

Step-by-step explanation:

By Lagrange multiplier's method,

∇f(x,y,z)= λ∇g(x,y,z) & g(x,y,z)=k

considering x,y,z as three unequal sides of the box

f(x,y,z)=xyz

If x represents the length, then constraint condition is g(x,y,z)= x + 2(y+z) =108

We have the following three equations:

yz= λ -->eq(1)               fx= λgx

xz=2λ -->eq(2)              fy=λgy

xy= 2λ -->eq(3)             fz=λgz

x+2y+2z=108-->eq(4)

Dividing eq(2) by eq(1), we'll have

x / y =2

=> x= 2y

Also, by using eq(2)and eq(3), we can represent y=z

By substituting 'x= 2y' and 'y=z' in eq(4), we have

eq(4)=>

2y+ 2(y+y)= 108

y=108/6

y=18

<u>For x: </u> x=2y=> 2(18)=>36

<u>For z: </u>z= y = 18

Therefore, the dimensions are 36 x 18 x 18

If the radius of circle O is 10 inches and m∠UON=90∘, what is the area of sector URN⌢?
arsen [322]

Answer:

  75π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded sector is 3/4 of the circle. We can use the area formula for a circle to find the area of the whole circle, then multiply that result by 3/4.

  A = πr² = π(10 in)² = 100π in²

Then the area of 3/4 of the circle is ...

  3/4·A = (3/4)·100π in² = 75π in²

Kira, goran, &amp; joe sent a total of 90 text messages during the weekend. Goran sent 5 fewer messages than Kira. Joe sent 3 ti
MissTica

Answer:

Kira sent 19 text messages, Goran sent 14  text messages  and Joe sent 57  text messages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "k" the number of text messages that Kira sent during the weekend, "g" the number of text messages that Gora sent during the weekend and "j" the number of text messages that Joe sent during the weekend.

We know know that they sent a total of 90 text messages then:

k+g+j=90

Goran sent 5 fewer messages than Kira. This is:

g=k-5

And Joe sent 3 times as many messages as Kira. Then:

j=3k

The steps to solve this are:

- Substitute the second equation and the third equatio into the first equation  and then solve for "k":

k+(k-5)+(3k)=90\\\\5k-5=90\\\\5k=90+5\\\\k=\frac{95}{5}\\\\k=19

- Substitute this value into the second equation to find "g":

g=19-5=14

- Substitute the value of "k" into the third equation to find "j":

j=3(19)=57
