Refer to the diagram shown below.

The woman walks at a rate of 3.5 ft/s away from the streetlight. Therefore
\frac{da}{dt} =3.5 \, ft/s

The length of the shadow changes at the rate
\frac{dx}{dt}

Because triangles ACE and BCD are similar  (AAA), therefore
\frac{AC}{BC}= \frac{AE}{BD} \\\\ \frac{a+x}{x} = \frac{12}{5}
12x = 5a + 5x
7x = 5a

Therefore
\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{5}{7}  \frac{da}{dt} = \frac{5}{7} (3.5 \, ft/s) = 2.5 \, ft/s

Answer: 2.5 ft/s

In the triangle, find x, y, u, v ​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

  • x = 9
  • y = 12
  • u = 24
  • v = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the triangles is similar, so we have ...

  3/5 = (3+x)/20

  x = 20(3/5) -3

  x = 9

__

  4/5 = (4+y)/20

  y = 20(4/5) -4

  y = 12

__

  3/5 = (3 + x + u)/60

  u = 60(3/5) -3 -9

  u = 24

__

  4/5 = (4 +y +v)/60

  v = 60(4/5) -4 -12

  v = 32

Sum of the radius of the base and height of a cylinder is 21 cm and the curved surface area of the cylinder is 616 sq.cm,find th
Kobotan [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

lets radius be r and height be h,

r+h=21 -----(1)

curved surface area

2×pi×r×h=616 -----(2)

use simultaneous eqn to solve for r and h.

total surface area of cylinder= 2×pi×r×h + 2×pi×r²

= ans if im not wrong
