Two sides of a square are divided into fourths and another side of the square is trisected, as shown. A triangle is formed by co

nnecting three of these points, as shown. What is the ratio of the area of the shaded triangle to the area of the square? Express your answer as a fraction.

<h3>Answer:  3/8</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this is a 1 by 1 square. The area is 1*1 = 1 square unit. Whatever the area of the triangle is, we divide it over 1 and it will yield the same value as the area of the triangle. In other words, the area of the triangle will be the answer.

Along the top we have 3 ticks to indicate the top segment has been cut into 3+1 = 4 equal parts. The horizontal distance from the the vertical side of the triangle to the peak of the triangle is 3/4 units. This is because we travel 3 ticks out of 4 total. So this is the height when we consider the vertical segment of the triangle to be the base.

The base is 1 unit as it spans the original square's side length

base = 1

height = 3/4

area of triangle = (1/2)*(base*height)

area of triangle = (1/2)*(1*3/4)

area of triangle = 3/8

ratio of triangle area to square area = (triangle area)/(square area)

ratio of triangle area to square area = (3/8)/1

<h3>ratio of triangle area to square area = 3/8</h3>

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of square=x

Area of a square =x^2

height of a triangle= 3x/4  ( 4/4=1/4) since height is only 3x/4 from the square)

( base =x same side as a square)

Area of a triangle=1/2 bh=1/2(x*3x/4)= 3x^2/8

the ratio of shaded triangle to the area= (3x^2/8)/x^2=3x^2/8x^2=3/8

Suppose you budgeted $2800 for fuel expenses for the year. How many miles could you drive if gas were $2.70 per gallon and your
Julli [10]

Answer:

29037.036 miles

Step-by-step explanation

There are two possible ways to solve this problem.

The first option starts with the $2800 dollars for the years. You first want to divide this by $2.70, because it will give you the amount of gallons of gas you can buy with that money.

2800/2.70 = 1037.037

This means you can buy 1037.037 gallons of gas in the year. Now you need to convert this to miles by multiplying by the amount of miles per gallon.

1037.037 x 28 = 29037.036 gallons

The second way to look at this is dimensional analysis. If you have learned this, then continue on reading this, but if you haven't I might only confuse you. I only suggest this because it can make it a little easier.

For the dimensional analysis, you need to start with what you are given and move to what you need to know, so you will start with the $2800 dollars and move to gallons. $2.70 per gallon and 28 miles per gallon are your conversion factors.

Set it up like this:

2800 dollars  * \frac{1 gallon}{2.70 dollars} * \frac{28 miles}{1 gallon}  = 29037.036 miles

This allows the equation to be more organized, and you can check your work by canceling the units.

Hope this helps.

For what values do maximum r-values occur on the graph the polar equation
blagie [28]

Answer:

We have the function:

r = -3 + 4*cos(θ)

And we want to find the value of θ where we have the maximum value of r.

For this, we can see that the cosine function has a positive coeficient, so when the cosine function has a maximum, also does the value of r.

We know that the meaximum value of the cosine is 1, and it happens when:

θ = 2n*pi, for any integer value of n.

Then the answer is  θ = 2n*pi, in this point we have:

r = -3 + 4*cos (2n*pi) = -3 + 4 = 1

The maximum value of r is 7

(while you may have a biger, in magnitude, value for r if you select the negative solutions for the cosine, you need to remember that the radius must be always a positive number)

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y
Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

y=2x^2+3x-2

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:
