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.

El Sr negron tiene que redactar una serie de cartas en su oficina. A Lourdes le toma 6 horas pasar todas las cartas. A su compañera rosabel, le toma 9 horas en realizar la misma tarea. Si ambas trabajan juntas para hacer todo el trabajo d ela oficina,

a. Cuánto tiempo le tomará a ambas realizar el trabajo?

Answer:

3.6 horas

Step-by-step explanation:

Sea el número total de horas que ambos trabajaron = T

Deje que la cantidad total de letras por las que pasaron = 1

De la pregunta, se nos dice:

Lourdes necesitó 6 horas para revisar las cartas.

Esto significa que, cada 1 hora, Lourdes revisaba 1/6 de las letras

Rosabel tardó 9 horas en leer las letras.

Esto significa que, cada 1 hora, Rosabel revisó 1/9 de las letras

Por lo tanto,

(1/6 × 1) T + (1/9 × 1) T = 1

(1/6 + 1/9) T = 1

(3 + 2/18) T = 1

(18/5) T = 1

5T / 18 = 1

Cruz multiplicar

5T = 18

T = 18/5

T = 3.6 horas

Por lo tanto, les tomó a ambas 3.6 horas hacer el trabajo.

What are the characteristics of pie chart?
anygoal [31]

In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and consequently its central angle and area) is proportional to the quantity it represents.

The characteristics of pie chart.

<h3>What do you mean by chart?</h3>

A chart is a graphical representation for data visualization, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". A chart can represent tabular numeric data, functions or some kinds of quality structure and provides different info.

Given that:

A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic, which is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and consequently its central angle and area) is proportional to the quantity it represents.

The pieces of the graph are proportional to the fraction of the whole in each category.

Each slice of the pie is relative to the size of that category in the group as a whole.
