A small resort is situated on an island that lies exactly 3 miles from P, the nearest point to the island along a perfectly stra

ight shoreline. 10 miles down the shoreline from P is the closest source of fresh water. If it costs 2.3 times as much money to lay pipe in the water as it does on land, how far down the shoreline from P should the pipe from the island reach land in order to minimize the total construction costs?

Answer:

The distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost is 0 m, or the pipe should be routed to the point P

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that, cost to lay pipe in water = 2.3 × cost to lay pipe on land

Distance of the small resort on the island from point p on the shoreline = 3 miles

Location of the closest source of fresh water is 10 miles along the shoreline from p

∴ The small resort, the point p and the closest source of the fresh water on the shoreline together form a right triangle with sides

Height = 3 miles

Base = 10 miles and

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{3^2 + 10 ^2} = \sqrt{109} =  10.44 \, m

To find the cost of laying the pipeline by the various route, we multiply the water routes by 2.3 and the land routes by 1 and we get

Costs:

Height =  Water route = 2.3 × 3 miles = 6.9

Base = Land route = 1 × 10 miles = 10

Hypotenuse = Water route = 2.3 × 10.44 miles = 24.012

Therefore, the two routes are either

10 miles to point p and 3 miles across the water to the resort with a cost = 10 + 6.9 = 16.9 or

Directly to the small resort through 10.44 miles across the water with cost = 24.012

Therefore, to minimize cost, the pipe should come from the resort to P from there to the fresh water source.

That is the distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost = 0 m.

All isosceles trapezoids have congruent base angles.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

An isosceles trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral with a line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides.

Properties of isosceles trapezoid:

  • Opposite sides of an isosceles trapezoid are the same length (congruent).
  • The angles on either side of the bases are the same size/measure (congruent).
  • The bases (both top and bottom) of an isosceles trapezoid are parallel.

Note: Refer the attached file for the image of an isosceles trapezoid.

All isosceles trapezoids come into the category of trapezoids but all trapezoids cannot be marked as isosceles. Clearly, if a trapezoid has congruent legs, it is an isosceles trapezoid.

If a trapezoid has one pair of congruent base angles, then the trapezoid is isosceles. A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its diagonals are congruent.

In the case of quadrilaterals, if the quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid, then each pair of base angles are congruent.
