f a circle at each corner. If the area of the remaining field is 9055, find the radius of each skating rink. Also, find the cost of cementing the skating rinks at $2.50 per square yards. Use = 3.14.

Answer:

Part 1) $r=30\ yd$

Part 2) $\$7.065$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Find the radius of each skating rink

we know that

The area of the playground (complete square) minus the area of four quarter of circle (one complete circle) must be equal to 9,055 square yards

so

$9,055=(109^2)-\pi r^{2}$

Solve for r

$9,055=11,881-\pi r^{2}$

$\pi r^{2}=11,881-9,055$

$\pi r^{2}=2,826$

substitute the value of pi

$(3.14)r^{2}=2,826$

$r^{2}=2,826/3.14$

$r^{2}=900$

$r=30\ yd$

Part 2) Find the cost of cementing the skating rinks

Multiply the area of one circle (four quarters) by $2.50 per square yards

$(3.14)(30^2)(2.50)=\$7.065$

What are the coordinates of the orthocenter of △XYZ with vertices at X(−3, 3) , Y(1, 3) , and Z(−3, 0) ?

klemol [59]

<span>Orthocenter is at (-3,3) The orthocenter of a triangle is the intersection of the three heights of the triangle (a line passing through a vertex of the triangle that's perpendicular to the opposite side from the vertex. Those 3 lines should intersect at the same point and that point may be either inside or outside of the triangle. So, let's calculate the 3 lines (we could get by with just 2 of them, but the 3rd line acts as a nice cross check to make certain we didn't do any mistakes.) Slope XY = (3 - 3)/(-3 - 1) = 0/-4 = 0 Ick. XY is a completely horizontal line and it's perpendicular will be a complete vertical line with a slope of infinity. But that's enough to tell us that the orthocenter will have the same x-coordinate value as vertex Z which is -3. Slope XZ = (3 - 0)/(-3 - (-3)) = 3/0 Another ick. This slope is completely vertical. So the perpendicular will be complete horizontal with a slope of 0 and will have the same y-coordinate value as vertex Y which is 3. So the orthocenter is at (-3,3).</span>

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

Find the x and y intercepts 5y + 3x = 15

Tomtit [17]

First, find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept will be at the point (x, 0) where x is any real number. If we substitute the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate for the x and y variables in the equation, we can solve for x.

5y + 3x = 15
5(0) + 3x = 15
3x + 15
x = 5

We found the x-intercept now find the y-intercept with the same process.

The y-intercept will be at the point (0, y) where y is any real number.

5y + 3x = 15
5y + 3(0) = 15
5y = 15
y = 3

So, the x-intercept is (5, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, 3)
