g is constructing a triangular sail for a sailboat. Aluminum supports will run along the horizontal base and vertical height of

the sail, respectively. After making some measurements, Calculo determines that the height of the sail cannot exceed 12 feet, or else it will not be able to fit under the bridges in the area. In addition, the total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds, or else the boat will sink. If aluminum weighs 5 pounds per foot, what is the area of the largest sail Calculo can build? Fully justify your answer, doing each step you learned in the class prep. In particular, you must show that the area you found is indeed the largest possible.

Answer: A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two constrains

a) The height of the sail ( support) cannot exceed 12 feet

b) The total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds

The weight of a foot of aluminum is 5 .

If we call:

x lenght of base support,  y  height of the vertical support  and the sail shape (is a triangle) we have

A = 1/2* ( x + y )

We know that (given a constant perimeter rectangle, the maximun area  is the square

A = x * y                P = 2x +2y         y = (P - 2x ) ÷ 2  

A = x * ( P - 2x ) ÷ 2  ⇒    A = (Px -2x²) ÷ 2

if we get derivative      A´(x) = (P-4x)/2     ⇒  (P-4x)/2   = 0

P = 4x and    x = P/4

Now we can look an square as two straight triangles joined by the diagonal and these two triangles are of area maximun.

Therefore in our case the sail must be of 8 x 8 feet (base and height)

A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²   and we will keep the condition of weigh

8 + 8 = 16 feet   and the supports weights  16 * 5  = 80 pounds

determine the common difference, the fifth term, the nth term, and the 100th term of the arithmetic sequence.17, 14, 11, 8,
MArishka [77]

The common difference of the sequence is -3 and the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the common difference?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

17, 14, 11, 8....

The common difference is

d = T2 - T1

So, we have

d = 14 - 17

Evaluate

d = -3

Hence, the common difference of the sequence is -3

<h3>How to determine the fifth term?</h3>

The fifth term is calculated as:

T5 = a + 4d

Where

a = T1 = 17

d = -3

So, we have:

T5 = 17 - 4 * 3

Evaluate

T5 = 5

Hence, the fifth term is 5

<h3>How to determine the nth term?</h3>

The nth term is calculated as:

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Hence, the nth term is Tn = a + (n - 1)d

<u>Congruency</u> property relates to two or more <em>triangles</em> with similar <em>dimensions</em>, and internal<u> angles</u>. So that the required <u>statements</u> to complete the proof are:

1. <em>definition</em> of a <u>straight</u> angle.

2. <u>subtraction</u> property of equality

3. <em>corresponding</em> sides of <u>similar</u> triangles are <u>proportional</u>

4.<u> transitive</u> property of <em>equality</em>.

The <u>intersection</u> of two or more lines forms a number of <em>angles</em> which depends on the <u>number</u> of lines involved. These <u>angles</u> formed may have <em>similar</em> or<em> different </em>properties.

When two or more <u>triangles</u> have <em>similar</em> lengths of <u>sides</u> and measure internal <u>angles</u>, it can be said that they are congruent. Thus they have some <u>common</u> properties.

Therefore, the appropriate <u>statements</u> to answer the given <em>question </em>are stated below:

  • <em>Definition</em> of a <u>straight</u> angle.
  • <u>Subtraction</u> property of equality.
  • <em>Corresponding</em> sides of <u>similar</u> triangles are <u>proportional.</u>
  • <u>Transitive</u> property of <em>equality</em>.
