Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows three aid stations in a national park.

From the given graph it is clear that the three aid stations forms a triangle.

According to the properties of triangle the sum of two smaller sides is more than the larger side.

In option A, the given sides are x = 7 miles, y = 8 miles, z = 18 miles.

7+8=15

Therefore the option A is incorrect.

In option B, the given sides are x = 4 miles, y = 7 miles, z = 12 miles.

4+7=11

Therefore the option B is incorrect.

In option C, the given sides are x = 5 miles, y = 9 miles, z = 14 miles.

5+9=14

Therefore the option C is incorrect.

In option D, the given sides are x = 8 miles, y = 12 miles, z = 15 miles.

8+12=20>15

Here the sum of two smaller sides is more than the larger side. Therefore the option D is correct.

All possible triangles must obey the rule that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side...

Only D. is a possible combination of sides

Find an equation of the circle with center at (-9,2) and passing through (2,-2) in the form of (x-A)^2+(y-B)^2=C where A,B,C are
Gelneren [198K]
The center going through (-9,2) gives you A and B
(x - - 9)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2
(x + 9)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2

Going from the center to the given point gives you the radius. We need the r^2 which is the way the distance formula works: it will give you r^2. c = r^2

d^2 = (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
x2 = -9
x1 = 2
y2 = 2
y1 = -2
r^2 = (-9 - 2)^2 + (2 - - 2)^2
r^2 = (- 11 ) ^2 + (4)^2
r^2 = 121 + 16
r^2 o= 137
So we get
(x + 9)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 137

A large rectangular movie screen in an IMAX theater has an area of 8,364 square feet. Find the dimensions of the screen if it is
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle (movie screen) is equal to

A=LW

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

A=8,364\ ft^2

so

8,364=LW ----> equation A

The screen is 20 feet longer than it is wide.

so

L=W+20 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

8,364=(W+20)W

solve for W

8,364=W^2+20W\\W^2+20W-8,364=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

the solution is W=82 ft

see the attached figure

Find the value of L

L=82+20=102\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet
