The altitude (i.e., height) of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1.5 cm/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing

at a rate of 1.5 square cm/minute. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 10 centimeters and the area is 82 square centimeters?

Answer: The base of the triangle is decreasing at the rate of 2.16cm per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is = 1/2 base × height.

We would make use of the product rule to find the rate of change of the base of this triangle.

Let us use A to represent the area, h to represent height, and b to represent base.

dA/dt = [(1/2) × (dh/dt) × b] + [(1/2) × (db/dt) × h]

Where:-

dh/dt = 1.5, dA/dt = 1.5, h = 10, db/dt = the unknown.

Before proceeding further, we must find the base of the triangle. Since we already know that the height = 10cm and the area = 82 square centimeters. We can find the base.

Formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 × b × h = A.

We substitute accordingly: 1/2 × b × 10 = 82.

10b/2 = 82

10b = 164

b = 16.4cm

Since the base is 16.4cm, we can calculate the rate of change of the base of the triangle (db/dt) using the product rule formula stated earlier on.

1.5 = [(1/2) × (1.5) × (16.4)] + [(1/2) × (db/dt) × (10)]

1.5 = (1.5 × 8.2) + (db/dt × 5)

1.5 = (12.3) + (db/dt × 5)

db/dt × 5 = 1.5 - 12.3

db/dt × 5 = -10.8

db/dt = -10.8/5

db/dt = -2.16cm/min

Therefore, the base of the triangle is decreasing at the rate of 2.16cm per minute

In a random sample of cars driven at low altitudes, of them exceeded a standard of grams of particulate pollution per gallon of
Orlov [11]

Complete question is;

In a random sample of 370 cars driven at low altitudes, 43 of them exceeded a standard of 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In an independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitudes, 23 of them exceeded the standard. Can you conclude that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard at an level of significance? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Yes we can conclude that there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard (P-value = 0.00005).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between the proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H0 ; π1 - π2 = 0

H1 ; π1 - π2 < 0

The significance level would be established in 0.01.

The random sample 1 (low altitudes), of size n1 = 370 has a proportion of;

p1 = x1/n1

p1 = 43/370

p1 = 0.116

The random sample 2 (high altitudes), of size n2 = 80 has a proportion of;

p2 = x2/n2

p2 = 23/80

p2 = 0.288

The difference between proportions is pd = (p1-p2);

pd = p1 - p2 = 0.116 - 0.288

pd = -0.171

The pooled proportion, we need to calculate the standard error, is:

p = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

p = (43 + 23)/(370 + 80)

p = 66/450

p = 0.147

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

S_(p1-p2) = √[((p(1 - p)/n1) + ((p(1 - p)/n2)]

1 - p = 1 - 0.147 = 0.853

Thus;

S_(p1-p2) = √[((0.147 × 0.853)/370) + ((0.147 × 0.853)/80)]

S_(p1-p2) = 0.044

Now, we can use the formula for z-statistics as;

z = (pd - (π1 - π2))/S_(p1-p2)

z = (-0.171 - 0)/0.044

z = -3.89

Using z-distribution table, we have the p-value = 0.00005

Since the P-value of (0.00005) is smaller than the significance level (0.01), then the effect is significant.

We conclude that The null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of high-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard is greater than the proportion of low-altitude vehicles exceeding the standard.

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(6 km)^2 + b^2 = (7 km)^2

36 + b^2 = 49

b^2 = 13

b = sqrt(13)

b = 3.6

Answer: 3.6 km
