Nick's dad wanted to measure the length of his backyard and asked Nick to do this with his footsteps. Since it was winter, they

were able to count their footprints in the snow starting from the end of the backyard moving in the same direction towards the front. In some places, Nick and his dad's footprints coincided. Eventually, they counted 67 footprints, including their first step. What is the length of the backyard in meters, if the Nick's footstep is 51 cm long and his dad's is 68 cm long?

Answer:

2244 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first first thing we must do is find the LCM of the following numbers

(51; 68) = 204.

This means that the first time they coincide is at 204.

Now, since his steps always coincide after 204

In Nick's case

Nick's 204 ÷ 51 = 4th step

and in the case of the father

204 ÷ 68 of his father = 3rd step.

Which means that in the 204 cm distance, there will be a total of 6 foot steps, except in the first 204 cm when your "initial" step is counted.

Replacing these values we have that the total distance will be:

67-1 (initial step) / (6 * 204) = 2244 cm

How do you find the equation of a triangles altitude using point slope formula?
forsale [732]
<span><span><span>1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle: 

 

Let point 
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC) 



------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment AB 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through AB is  


------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment BC 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through BC is  




------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment CA 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through CA is  




So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle 


 



So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope  to get 

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex C is  



Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex A is  




Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex B is  



------------------------------------------------------------ 
Now let's solve the system 


 

 Plug in  into the first equation 

 Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides 

 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x 


Now plug this into  

 

 



So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3) 

So if we plug in  into the third equation , we get 


 


 


 

 

So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

Solve the equation for the bold variable (h)
Aleonysh [2.5K]

This is the formula for the surface area of a cylinder including the ends, like the total surface area of a can of peas.

S = 2·π·r² + 2·π·r · H

Divide each side by 2·π·r :

S/2·π·r = r + H

Subtract r from each side :

H = (S/2·π·r) - r

or

H = (S - 2·π·r²) / (2·π·r)

saw5 [17]

Answer:

11th month which is November

Step-by-step explanation:

1860 + 45(m - 1) = 2310

1860 + 45m - 45 = 2310

1815 + 45m = 2310

45m = 495

m = 11
