Which of the following are among the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry

1 answer:

6 0

Answer : The Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system that is attributed to Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid. He described mostly about the Elements in geometry. The method consisted of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions from these.

The five basic postulates of euclidean geometry are as follows;

A straight line may be drawn between any two points.
A piece of straight line may be extended indefinitely.
A circle may be drawn with any given radius and an arbitrary center.
All right angles are equal.
If a straight line crossing two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.

In Triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49° , XY = 18°, and

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

There are two choices for angle Y: $Y \approx 54.987^{\circ}$ for $XZ \approx 15.193$ , $Y \approx 27.008^{\circ}$ for $XZ \approx 8.424$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is now described:

<em>In triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49°, XY = 18 and YZ = 14. Find the measure of angle Y:</em>

The line segment XY is opposite to angle Z and the line segment YZ is opposite to angle X. We can determine the length of the line segment XZ by the Law of Cosine:

$YZ^{2} = XZ^{2} + XY^{2} -2\cdot XY\cdot XZ \cdot \cos X$ (1)

If we know that $X = 49^{\circ}$ , $XY = 18$ and $YZ = 14$ , then we have the following second order polynomial:

$14^{2} = XZ^{2} + 18^{2} - 2\cdot (18)\cdot XZ\cdot \cos 49^{\circ}$

$XZ^{2}-23.618\cdot XZ +128 = 0$ (2)

By the Quadratic Formula we have the following result:

$XZ \approx 15.193\,\lor\,XZ \approx 8.424$

There are two possible triangles, we can determine the value of angle Y for each by the Law of Cosine again:

$XZ^{2} = XY^{2} + YZ^{2} - 2\cdot XY \cdot YZ \cdot \cos Y$

$\cos Y = \frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ}$

$Y = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ} \right)$

1) $XZ \approx 15.193$

$Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-15.193^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]$

$Y \approx 54.987^{\circ}$

2) $XZ \approx 8.424$

$Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-8.424^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]$

$Y \approx 27.008^{\circ}$

There are two choices for angle Y: $Y \approx 54.987^{\circ}$ for $XZ \approx 15.193$ , $Y \approx 27.008^{\circ}$ for $XZ \approx 8.424$ .

12 pots cost $27 . what is the cost of 8 pots?

Alborosie

Answer:

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

you divide 27/12= 2.25 this gives you the price for one.

then you multiply 8 × 2.25 = $18

$18 dollars is the price for 8 pots

Is the function even odd or neither

Andrei [34K]

Answer: Neither

The function is not even because it doesn't have y axis symmetry. In other words, reflecting it over the vertical y axis means it doesn't line up with itself. The left half is different from the right half.

The function isn't odd either. Why not? Because rotating it 180 degrees around the origin has the function curve looking completely different. A point like (3,6) will rotate to (-3,-6) which is not on the orange curve. This is just one counter-example as to why the function is not odd.
