Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD. CD = 10 and XY = 24. What is the length of AP?
1 answer:
Answer:
<u>AP = 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached figure.
CD = 10 and XY = 24
Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD
∴ XY bisects at Y
∴ CY = 0.5 CD = 0.5 * 10 = 5
And from the geometry of the shape
P is the midpoint of XY
∴ XP = YP = 0.5 XY = 0.5 * 24 = 12
XY is perpendicular to CD
∴ ΔPYC is a right triangle at Y
∴ PC (hypotenuse) =
From the figure AP = PC = 13

Step-by-step explanation:
To find inverse of a function, follow the steps below:
1. replace h(x) with y
2. Interchange x and y
3. Solve for the new y
4. Replace y to (this is the inverse function)
<u>Step 1:</u> y = -2/3x+6
<u>Step 2:</u> x = -2/3y+6
<u>Step 3:</u>
<u>Step 4:</u>
This is the inverse function.
Answer:
280 ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the nonshaded portion, we can find the area of the entire floor and then subtract the shaded area.
The total area is that of a rectangle: 30 * 15 = 450 ft squared.
Now, the shaded region is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.
- The rectangle has length 8 and width 10, so its area is 10 * 8 = 80 ft squared.
- The triangle has base 12 and height 15, so using the area of a triangle formula: (where b is the base and h is the height) = (12 * 15)/2 = 180/2 = 90 ft squared.
- The total shaded region is: 80 + 90 = 170 ft squared
Subtract 110 from 450: 450 - 170 = 280 ft squared.
Thus, the answer is 280 ft squared.
