On the ceiling of a cavern, a stalactite grows downward

1 answer:

4 0

The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart.

let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120

We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120 Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120 Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000

The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years

$\sqrt{(5 - 1)^{2}} + \sqrt{20}$

$\sqrt{4^{2}} + \sqrt{4 * 5}$

$\sqrt{16} + \sqrt{4} \sqrt{5} 
$

$4 + 2 \sqrt{5}

$4\sqrt{5} + 2 \sqrt{5}

$6 \sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{(10 - 3)^{2}} + \sqrt{20 * 18}$

$\sqrt{7^{2}} + \sqrt{4 * 9 * 5 * 2}$

$\sqrt{49} + \sqrt{36 * 10}$

$7 + \sqrt{36}\sqrt{10}$

$7 + 6\sqrt{10}$

$7\sqrt{10} + 6\sqrt{10}$

$13\sqrt{10}$

$\sqrt[3]{(3 + 1)^{2}} - \sqrt{(3 - 2)x^{2}$

$\sqrt[3]{4^{2}} - \sqrt{x^{2}$

$\sqrt[3]{16} - x[tex] \\[tex] \sqrt[3]{8 * 2} - x$

$\sqrt[3]{8} \sqrt[3]{2} - x

Area is a quantity that describes the extent of an area on a plane or curved surface. The area of a planar region or planar region refers to the area of a shape or planar layer, and surface area refers to the area of an open surface or boundary of a three-dimensional object. Wikipedia

The area is the area occupied by a two-dimensional figure. That is, it is a quantity that measures the number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed figure. The standard unit of area is the square unit, commonly expressed in square inches, square feet, and so on.
