Answer:

Therefore the length of EC is 6.67 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

BC = 12 ft

AC = 6.75 ft

DE = 3ft

DE is parallel to AC.

Angle C is 60°.

Angle A and Angle BDE are both right angles.

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DBE.

To Find:

EC = ?

Solution:

Δ ABC ~ Δ DBE ..................Given

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.

\frac{AB}{DB} =\frac{BC}{BE} =\frac{AC}{DE}\ \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\  

On substituting the given values we get

\frac{BC}{BE} =\frac{AC}{DE}

\frac{12}{BE} =\frac{6.75}{3}\\\\BE=5.33

Now as B - E - C,

BC=BE+EC..........Addition property

substituting the given values we get

12=5.33+EC\\\\EC=12-5.33=6.67\ ft

Therefore the length of EC is 6.67 ft.

What are the dimensions of a box that would hold 250 cubic centimeters of juice and have a minimum surface area
Elis [28]
The dimensions of a box that have the minium surface area for a given Volume is such that it is a cube. This is the three dimensions are equal:

V = x*y*z , x=y=z => V = x^3, that will let you solve for x,

x = ∛(V) = ∛(250cm^3) = 6.30 cm.

Answer: 6.30 cm * 6.30cm * 6.30cm. This is a cube of side 6.30cm.

The demonstration of that the shape the minimize the volume of a box is cubic (all the dimensions equal) corresponds to a higher level (multivariable calculus).

I guess it is not the intention of the problem that you prove or even know how to prove it (unless you are taking an advanced course).

Nevertheless, the way to do it is starting by stating the equations for surface and apply two variable derivation to optimize (minimize) the surface.

You do not need to follow with next part if you do not need to understand how to show that the cube is the shape that minimize the surface.

If you call x, y, z the three dimensions, the surface is:

S = 2xy + 2xz + 2yz (two faces xy, two faces xz and two faces yz).

Now use the Volumen formula to eliminate one variable, let's say z:

V = x*y*z => z = V /(x*y)

=> S = 2xy + 2x [V/(xy)[ + 2y[V/(xy)] = 2xy + 2V/y + 2V/x

Now find dS, which needs the use of partial derivatives. It drives to:

dS = [2y  - 2V/(x^2)] dx + [2x - 2V/(y^2) ] dy = 0

By the properties of the total diferentiation you have that:

2y - 2V/(x^2) = 0 and 2x - 2V/(y^2) = 0

2y - 2V/(x^2) = 0 => V = y*x^2

2x - 2V/(y^2) = 0 => V = x*y^2

=> y*x^2 = x*y^2 => y*x^2 - x*y^2 = xy (x - y) = 0 => x = y

Now that you have shown that x = y.

You can rewrite the equation for S and derive it again:

S = 2xy + 2V/y + 2V/x, x = y => S = 2x^2 + 2V/x + 2V/x = 2x^2 + 4V/x

Now find S'

S' = 4x - 4V/(x^2) = 0 => V/(x^2) = x => V =x^3.

Which is the proof that the box is cubic.

Solve the expression for the specified variable. <br> S=DC-8, for D
anastassius [24]
D=(S+8)/C

S=DC-8
add 8 to both sides
S+8=DC
divide c from both sides
(S+8)/C=D

. Lisa takes a 3,014 mile long trip. She has already traveled 95 miles. She has 7 days left in her trip. How many miles does she
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Lisa would travel 417 miles a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 3,014 - 95 = 2, 919

Then divide 2, 919 / 7 = 417
