The hypotenuese of an isosceles right triangle is 16 inches. The midpoints of its sides are connected to form an inscribed trian

gle, and this process is repeated, creating a third triangle inscribed in the previous one. Find the sum of the areas of these triangles if this process is continued infinitely.

Answer:

  256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

  = 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.

Answer:

  5 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the two numbers tells you how many times as large one is as the other:

\dfrac{5\cdot 10^5}{1\cdot 10^5}=\dfrac{5}{1}\cdot\dfrac{10^5}{10^5}=5

Ben works for software company in Cleveland. To train new employees, Ben travels to their two other locations, Buffalo and Phila
Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:we will solve this question with help of linear programming.

Now,  let Ben goes x times in buffalo trip and goes y times in Philadelphia trip. Thus, according to the question, Min Z= 180x+300y

And s.t.r. 2x+3y≤105, where x≥5, y≥15.

since at (0,0) 0≤105(true), so area of 2x+3y≤105 will cover the origin.

But, 0≥5 and 0≥15 are false, so their area will not cover the origin.

Thus, after drawing the graph of these three lines we will get a feasible reason of triangle ABC, where point A≡(5,31.667), B≡(5,15), and C≡(30,15)

Z at A- 180×5+300×31.667=10,400.1

at B-180×5+300×15=1350( which is minimum.)

at C- 180×30+300×15=5,850

Thus, Ben should go 5 times to buffalo trip and 15 times to Philadelphia to minimize his cost which is $1350.

There are a total of 375 flamingos, parrots, herons, and chachalacas at the Famous Bird Sanctuary. The ratio of flamingos to par
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio between flamingos and chachalacas is 2:1, we see that the ratio of flamingos to chachalacas to parrots to herons is 10:5:7:3. The sum of these numbers is 25, so every 'ratio number' gets 375/25 = 15 animals. So the number of chachalacas is 15 * 5 = 75.
