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

An arithmetic sequence is represented in the following table. Enter the
pentagon [3]

Answer:

122

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence means a number is added each term.  There is a term for where a number is multiplied as well.  But in this case the first number is -103, the second number is -94 and the third number is -85.  Can you tell what number is added each time?

The number is 9.  -103+9=-94 and -94+9=-85 and so on.  Now we want a way to find the term way further down the line.

Think of it doing it all at once.  -103+9+9 gets us the third term right?  so that's 2*9.  -103+3*9 would get us the fourth.  Hopefully that makes sense, but let me know if it doesn't.  But for a few more examples, if we want the fifth term we would do -103+4*9 and getting the tenth would need -103+9*9.  So basically we take the number term we want (in this case we want the 26th) and then take -103+ n*9, where n is the term we want minus 1, or in this case 25.  so that's -103+25*9

Let me know if you need more of an explanation.

The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $50. The average attendance was 4000. When the ticket price was ra
kotegsom [21]

Answer

given,

opera house ticket = $50

attendance = 4000 persons

now,

opera house ticket = $52

attendance = 3800 person

assuming these are the points on the demand curve

(x, p) = (4000,50) and (x,p) = (3800,52)

using point slope formula

p-50 = \dfrac{50-52}{4000-3800}(x - 4000)

p-50 = \dfrac{-2}{200}(x - 4000)

p-50 = \dfrac{-x}{100}+ 40

p = \dfrac{-x}{100}+ 90

R(x) = x . p

R(x) = x (\dfrac{-x}{100}+ 90)

R(x) = \dfrac{-x^2}{100}+ 90x)

\dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = \dfrac{d}{dx}(\dfrac{-x^2}{100}+ 90x))

\dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = (\dfrac{-2x}{100})+90)

at \dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = 0

\dfrac{-2x}{100}= -90

x = 4500

\dfrac{d^2}{d^2x}(R(x)) = -ve

hence at x =4500 the revenue is maximum

for maximum revenue ticket price will be

p = \dfrac{-4500}{100}+ 90

p = $45
