Answer: PR = 38

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since Q is the midpoint of PR, then PQ = QR

6x + 25 = 16 - 3x

9x + 25 = 16 added 3x to both sides

9x = -9 subtracted 25 from both sides

x = -1 divided both sides by -1

PQ = 6x + 25 QR = 16 - 3x

= 6(-1) + 25 = 16 - 3(-1)

= -6 + 25 = 16 + 3

= 19 = 19

Use the Segment Addition Postulate to find PR:

PR = PQ + QR

= 19 + 19

= 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If Q is the midpoint of PR

Then PQ + QR = PR

(6x + 25) + (16 - 3x)

group the same terms and add them

(6x - 3x) + (25 + 16)

Hence PR = (3x + 41)

But to find the value of PR....If Q is the midpoint....then PQ = QR...since they are both half lengths of PR;

; 6x + 25 = 16 - 3x

; 6x + 3x = 16 - 25...;9x = -9

Hence the value of...x = -1

Then substitute the value of x into the equation of PR....3x + 41

;3(-1) + 41

;-3 + 41

Hence PR = 38

The spherical balloon is inflated at the rate of 10 m³/sec. Find the rate at which the surface area is increasing when the radiu

rjkz [21]

The balloon has a volume $V$ dependent on its radius $r$ :

$V(r)=\dfrac43\pi r^3$

Differentiating with respect to time $t$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=4\pi r^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$

If the volume is increasing at a rate of 10 cubic m/s, then at the moment the radius is 3 m, it is increasing at a rate of

$10\dfrac{\mathrm m^3}{\mathrm s}=4\pi (3\,\mathrm m)^2\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac5{18\pi}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The surface area of the balloon is

$S(r)=4\pi r^2$

and differentiating gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=8\pi r\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm dt}$

so that at the moment the radius is 3 m, its area is increasing at a rate of

$\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=8\pi(3\,\mathrm m)\left(\dfrac5{18\pi}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)=\dfrac{20}3\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\rm s}$

What is the area of a rectangle that is 1 1/4 m long and 3/4 of a meter wide

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

the answer for this question is 15/14

to find area the formula is area = l×b

here length is 1 1/4 and breadth is 3/4 so l×b = 1 1/4=5/4 so 5/4×3/4=15/14
