In this attached picture, we can prove that triangles AOB and COD are congruent. ∠CDO and ∠ABO are equal because they are alternate angles. Similarly, ∠OAB and ∠OCD are equal because they are alternate angles, as well. We have a rectangle and in the rectangle, opposite sides are equal; AB = CD. Then, because of Angle-SIde-Angle principle, we can say that triangles AOB and COD are equal. If triangles are congruent, then OD = OB and OC = AO. Applying congruency to the triangles ACD and BCD, we can see that these triangles are also congruent. It means that the diagonals are equal. Since, OD = OB and OC = AO, it proves that the point O simultaneously is the midpoint and intersection point for the diagonals.

A gardener has 520 feet of fencing to fence in a rectangular garden. One side of the garden is bordered by a river and so it doe
Bond [772]

The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>

The given parameter is

Perimeter, P = 520 feet

Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y

One side of the garden is bordered by a river:

So the perimeter is:

P = 2x + y

Substitute P = 520

2x + y = 520

Make y the subject

y = 520 - 2x

The area is

A = xy

Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy

A = x(520 - 2x)

Expand

A = 520x - 2x^2

Differentiate

A' = 520 - 4x

Set to 0

520 - 4x = 0

Rewrite as:

4x= 520

Divide by 4

x= 130

Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x

y = 520 - 2 *130

Evaluate

y = 260

The area is then calculated as:

A = xy

This gives

A = 130 * 260

Evaluate

A = 33800

Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

Count the number of 5-digit numbers (in the decimal system; integers from 10000 to 99999) which are not divisible by 11.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

So total number which is not divisible by 11 = 89999-8181 = 81819  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the total numbers which are not divisible by 11 from 10000 to 99999

Total number from 10000 to 99999 = 99999-10000+1=90000

Just after 10000 the number which is divisible by 11 is 10010

And just below 99999 the number which is divisible by 11 is 99990

Using AP formula

T_N=a+(n-1)d, here a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms

So 99990=10010+(n-1)11

n-1 = 8180

n= 8181

So total number which is not divisible by 11 = 90000-8181 = 81819
