Answer:

The answer is (C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the length of the side of the square.

A_{square}=a^2, where a is the length of the side. Now, let's try to build the square. First we need to find a point which distance from (0, 0) is 10. For this, we can use the distance formula in the plane:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} which for x_1=0 and y_1 = 0 transforms as  d=\sqrt{(x_2)^2 + (y_2)^2}. The first point we are looking for is connected to the origin and therefore, its components will form a right triangle in which, the Pythagoras theorem holds, see the first attached figure. Then, x_2, y_2 and 10 are a Pythagorean triple. From this, x_2= 6 or  x_2=8 while y_2= 6 or y_2=8. This leads us with the set of coordinates:

(\pm 6, \pm 8) and (\pm 8, \pm 6).  (A)

The next step is to find the coordinates of points that lie on lines which are perpendicular to the lines that joins the origin of the coordinate system with the set of points given in (A):

Let's do this for the point (6, 8).

The equation of the line that join the point (6, 8) with the origin (0, 0) has the equation y = mx +n, however, we only need to find its slope in order to find a perpendicular line to it. Thus,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\m =  \frac{8-0}{6-0} \\m = 8/6

Then, a perpendicular line has an slope m_{\bot} = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{6}{8} (perpendicularity condition of two lines). With the equation of the slope of the perpendicular line and the given point (6, 8), together with the equation of the distance we can form a system of equations to find the coordinates of two points that lie on this perpendicular line.

m_{\bot}=\frac{6}{8} = \frac{8-y}{6-x}\\ 6(6-x)+8(8-y)=0  (1)

d^2 = \sqrt{(y_o-y)^2+(x_o-x)^2} \\(10)^2=\sqrt{(8-y)^2+(6-x)^2}\\100 = \sqrt{(8-y)^2+(6-x)^2}   (2)

This system has solutions in the coordinates (-2, 14) and (14, 2). Until here, we have three vertices of the square. Let's now find the fourth one in the same way we found the third one using the point (14,2). A line perpendicular to the line that joins the point (6, 8) and (14, 2) has an slope m = 8/6 based on the perpendicularity condition. Thus, we can form the system:

\frac{8}{6} =\frac{2-y}{14-x} \\8(14-x) - 6(2-y) = 0  (1)

100 = \sqrt{(14-x)^2+(2-y)^2}  (2)

with solution the coordinates (8, -6) and (20, 10). If you draw a line joining the coordinates (0, 0), (6, 8), (14, 2) and (8, -6) you will get one of the squares that fulfill the conditions of the problem. By repeating this process with the coordinates in (A), the following squares are found:

  • (0, 0), (6, 8), (14, 2), (8, -6)
  • (0, 0), (8, 6), (14, -2), (6, -8)
  • (0, 0), (-6, 8), (-14, 2), (-8, -6)
  • (0, 0), (-8, 6), (-14, -2), (-6, -8)

Now, notice that the equation of distance between the two points separated a distance of 10 has the trivial solution (\pm10, 0) and  (0, \pm10). By combining this points we get the following squares:

  • (0, 0), (10, 0), (10, 10), (0, 10)
  • (0, 0), (0, 10), (-10, 10), (-10, 0)
  • (0, 0), (-10, 0), (-10, -10), (0, -10)
  • (0, 0), (0, -10), (-10, -10), (10, 0)

See the attached second attached figure. Therefore, 8 squares can be drawn

Answer:

c. 45.34ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When leg one of the triangle is 15ft and leg two is 17 ft you would take   17^2 + 15^2 and then you find the square root of that (514) to get the hypotenuse of the triangle. After that you multiply by two to account for the 2/2 sqaure foot per each unit

a 12-ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 74°. how high does the ladder rea
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, a simple drawing is a great way to start! In the attached drawing, the red line represents the ladder, the brown represents the ground, and the black represents the building!

We want to find the side of the triangle from where the ladder meets the building to where the building meets the ground. This can be found using trigonometric identities, namely sine:

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Plug in known values:

sin(74^o)=\frac{x}{12}

Rearrange to isolate the variable:

x=12sin(74^o)

Simplify!

x=11.535140... ft

Round to the nearest foot:

x=12ft

After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P  and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}

and we found the distance PQ and QA

; d_{PQ}=\sqrt{125}, d_{QA}=12

be the APQ triangle we must find <APQ through the cosine law (graph 2).
