A farmer has a field in the shape of a triangle. The farmer has asked the manufacturing class at your school to build a metal fe

nce for his farm. From one vertex, it is 435 m to the second vertex and 656 m to the third vertex. The angle between the lines of sight to the second and third vertices is 49°. Calculate how much fencing he would need to enclose his entire field.

Answer:

<em>Fencing required = 1586 m</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statements can be thought of a triangle \triangle ABC as shown in the diagram attached.

A be the 1st vertex, B be the 2nd vertex and C be the 3rd vertex.

Distance between 1st and 2nd vertex, AB = 435 m

Distance between 2nd and 3rd vertex, AC = 656 m

\angle A =49^\circ

To find:

Fencing required for the triangular field.

Solution:

Here, we know two sides of a triangle and the angle between them.

To find the fencing or perimeter of the triangle, we need the third side.

Let us use <em>Cosine Rule </em>to find the third side.

Formula for cosine rule:

cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2bc}

Where  

a is the side opposite to \angle A

b is the side opposite to \angle B

c is the side opposite to \angle C

\Rightarrow cos 49^\circ = \dfrac{656^{2}+435^{2}-BC^{2}}{2\times 435\times 656}\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-2 (435)(656)cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 =619561-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC \approx 495\ m

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides = AB + BC + AC

Perimeter of the triangle = 435 + 495 + 656 = <em>1586 m</em>

<em></em>

<em>Fencing required = 1586 m</em>

Consider an isosceles trapezoid rotated about an axis of symmetry that passes through the midpoint of the bases. the minor base
Ronch [10]

Based on the calculation, the perimeter of the horizontal cross-section is equal to 36.13 cm.

<h3>How to calculate the perimeter?</h3>

In this scenario, the resulting geometrical shape formed when the cut is made at the middle of the height of the trapezoid and then rotated is a circle.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Minor base = 10 cm.
  • Major base = 13 cm.

From the middle, the diameter of this circle is given by:

D = 1/2 (10 + 13)

D = 11.5 cm.

Now, we can calculate the perimeter:

Perimeter = πD

Perimeter = 3.142 × 11.5

Perimeter = 36.13 cm.

A lab technician shows up to the lab at 9am on Monday and finds a culture of bacteria x containing 5328 bacteria. Each culture s
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

9 pm on a Sunday, 55 .5 days before

Step-by-step explanation:

if there were 6 bacteria initially and from the growth rate we noticed that it doubled every 3 hours

because by 9 am Monday morning there were 5328 bacteria and then by 12 noon (3 hours later), there were 10, 656 bacteria

what we need to know is how long did it take 6 bacteria to become 5328

so

if 6 bacteria = 1 hour

12 bacteria = 3 hours

24 bacteria = 6 hours

then

5328 bacteria = x hours

taking the ratio

\frac{5328}{24} =\frac{x}{6}\\ \\222=\frac{x}{6} \\\\\\222(6) = x\\\\1332=x

we need to now convert this into hours

so we divide by 24

\frac{1332}{24} =55.5

so

9 am 55.5 days before should fall on a Sunday
