The dimensions given when you have a triangle is the base and height of the triangle. The formula for the area is

A = 0.5bh

The unknown here is h. We can determine that from the cost of mulch that covers the whole area of the triangle. The equation would be:

4A = 33

Substituting A = 0.5*5.5*h = 2.75h to the equation:

4(2.75h) = 33
11h = 33
h = 33/11
h = 3 feet

In right triangle ABC, the measure of angle A is 25 degrees, angle c is 90 degrees, and AB = 1. what is the length of AC?

Allisa [31]

Answer:

b= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you find angle B: 180-90-25=65

then you will do law of sine- sin A/a=sin B/b=sin C/c

sin(90)/1=sin 65/b

sin(90)*b=sin(65)*1

sin(90)*b=0.9

b=0.9/sin(90)

b= 0.9

For the cost function c equals 0.1 q squared plus 2.1 q plus 8, how fast does c change with respect to q when q equals 11? Det

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Rate of change of c with respect to q is 4.3

Percentage rate of change c with respect to q is 9.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost function is given as, $c=0.1\:q^{2}+2.1\:q+8$

Given that c changes with respect to q that is, $\dfrac{dc}{dq}$ . So differentiating given function,

$\dfrac{dc}{dq}=\dfrac{d}{dq}\left (0.1\:q^{2}+2.1\:q+8 \right)$

Applying sum rule of derivative,

$\dfrac{dc}{dq}=\dfrac{d}{dq}\left(0.1\:q^{2}\right)+\dfrac{d}{dq}\left(2.1\:q\right)+\dfrac{d}{dq}\left(8\right)$

Applying power rule and constant rule of derivative,

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=0.1\left(2\:q^{2-1}\right)+2.1\left(1\right)+0$

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=0.1\left(2\:q\right)+2.1$

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=0.2\left(q\right)+2.1$

Substituting the value of $q=11$ ,

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=0.2\left(11\right)+21.$

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=2.2+2.1$

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=4.3$

Rate of change of c with respect to q is 4.3

Formula for percentage rate of change is given as,

$Percentage\:rate\:of\:change=\dfrac{Q'\left(x\right)}{Q\left(x\right)}\times 100$

Rewriting in terms of cost C,

$Percentage\:rate\:of\:change=\dfrac{C'\left(q\right)}{C\left(q\right)}\times 100$

Calculating value of $C\left(q \right)$

$C\left(q\right)=0.1\:q^{2}+2.1\:q+8$

Substituting the value of $q=11$ ,

$C\left(q\right)=0.1\left(11\right)^{2}+2.1\left(11\right)+8$

$C\left(q\right)=0.1\left(121\right)+23.1+8$

$C\left(q\right)=12.1+23.1+8$

$C\left(q\right)=43.2$

Now using the formula for percentage,

$Percentage\:rate\:of\:change=\dfrac{4.3}{43.2}\times 100$

$Percentage\:rate\:of\:change=0.0995\times 100$

$Percentage\:rate\:of\:change=9.95%$

Percentage rate of change of c with respect to q is 9.95%
