A = 2bs + b^2; where A = area of pyramid; b = base length; s = the slant height;
136 = 8s + 16 ;

8s = 120;

s = 15 inches;

satela [25.4K]

Answer: The missing length is 40 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

30^2 + b^2 = 50^2

900 + b^2 = 2500

-900 -900

b^2 = 1600

b= 40

AA Theorem: To show two triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two angles of one triangle are congruent (equal) to two angles of the other triangle. All three triangles have a right angle and they all share the common angle at point S.

Flagpole is 32 meters from point S: so 1.5/8 = x/32 where x is FG
cross-multiply: 32 • 1.5 = 8x
48 = 8x
x = 6 meters

building is a total of 240 meters from point S, so: 1.5/8 = x / 240 where x is BD
cross-multiply: 240 • 1.5 = 8x
360 = 8x
<span>x = 45 meters</span>

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive function tells you the first term is 1. That is the meaning of ...

$a_1=1$

It also tells you that to find the next term, you multiply this term by 1/2:

$a_2=\dfrac{1}{2}a_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 1=\dfrac{1}{2}$

And, to find the next term, you multiply this term by 1/2:

$a_3=\dfrac{1}{2}a_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Then the first three terms are ...

1, 1/2, 1/4

(a) Find the equation of the normal to the hyperbola x = 4t, y = 4/t at the point (8,2).

gtnhenbr [62]

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at (8, 2) is given by the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ at that point. By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy}{dt} \times \dfrac{dt}{dx} = \dfrac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$

Differentiate the given parametric equations with respect to $t$ :

$x = 4t \implies \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 4$

$y = \dfrac4t \implies \dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac4{t^2}$

Then

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{-\frac4{t^2}}4 = -\dfrac1{t^2}$

We have $x=8$ and $y=2$ when $t=2$ , so the slope at the given point is $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac14$ .

The normal line to the same point is perpendicular to the tangent line, so its slope is +4. Then using the point-slope formula for a line, the normal line has equation

$y - 2 = 4 (x - 8) \implies \boxed{y = 4x - 30}$

Alternatively, we can eliminate the parameter and express $y$ explicitly in terms of $x$ :

$x = 4t \implies t = \dfrac x4 \implies y = \dfrac4t = \dfrac4{\frac x4} = \dfrac{16}x$

Then the slope of the tangent line is

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = -\dfrac{16}{x^2}$

At $x = 8$ , the slope is again $-\frac{16}{64}=-\frac14$ , so the normal has slope +4, and so on.
