Answer:

B. 4\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle altitude theorem states that the altitude of a right angled triangles formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the 2 line segments it creates.

This can be represented as:

h = \sqrt{(xy)}

Where,

h = the length of the altitude,

x and y are the lengths of the 2 segments formed.

Therefore, the length of the altitude = h = \sqrt{(14*8)}

h = \sqrt{112}

h = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}

h = 4\sqrt{7}

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) P= Area of Circle/ Area of large rectangle

Area of the circle = pi·r² = pi·2²=4 pi ft.²

Area of large rectangle=  l·w -12·10 =120 ft.²

P = 4pi/120 rewrite 120 as 4·30

P= 4 pi/4*30 = pi/30 = 3.14/40 ≈ .1047 ≈10% (because .1047·100 =10.47≅10)

2) P = Area of smaller rectangle/ Area of large rectangle

Area of smaller rectangle = l·w = 2·4 =8 ft.²

Area of large rectangle=l·w = 12·10=120 ft²

P= 8/120 ≅ .0666≅ 7% (because .0666·100 =6.66≅7)

3) P= Not the circle or smaller rectangle/ Area of large rectangle

Not the circle or smaller rectangle area

= Area of large rectangle - Area of circle -Area of smaller rectangle

= 120 -4·pi -8 = 120 - (4· 3.14) -8 = 99.4362939 ft²

Area of large rectangle = l·w = 12·10 =120 ft²

P = 99.4362939 /120 ≅ .8286 ≅83% (because .8286·100 =82.86≅83)

Jammal makes a cut through a block of florist's foam, as shown. What are the dimensions of the exposed cross section?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

C. 3 in x 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Jammal cuts the block in a straight line parallel to one side... so the section revealed when he finishes his cut will be identical as the parallel side to which the cut is done.

We know the the left side of the prism on the image is 3 inches wide and 6 inches high... so that will also be the dimensions of the exposed cross section.

The answer is then 3 inches y 6 inches. The thickness of the block (5 inches) has no impact on the exposed area of the cross-section.
