Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Point A lies outside of plane P.

Definition of Plane : A plane is a two-dimensional, flat surface that extends infinitely far.

Line perpendicular to a plane means, the line makes 90° angle with the plane.

Let as assume if a line passes through a point A and perpendicular to the plane P, then the number of possible lines are two.

It means line is perpendicular on two points of the plane,i.e., P₁ and P₂.

Since both line as perpendicular, therefore the length of line segment is same.

AP_1=AP_2

It is only possible, when

P_1=P_2

If a line passes through a point A and perpendicular to the plane P, then the number of possible lines is 1.

Therefore the correct option is D.

<em>Answer</em>


D) 1


<em>Explanation</em>

A perpendicular line makes a angle of 90° with a line or a plane.

If a line is to be drawn from a point to a line or a plain it can only be one. In this case a line is to be drawn through a point A to a plane P. If the line is to be perpendicular, then is is only one.


From the choices, the appropriate answer is D) 1

To travel 80 miles, it takes Sue, riding a moped, 2 hours less time than it takes Doreen to travel 60 miles riding a bicycle. Su
andriy [413]

Answer:

Time taken by Doreen is 6 hours and speed is 10 miles per hour.

Time taken by Sue is 4 hours and speed is 20 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Doreen be x

According to the question  speed of Sue   is = x+10

time  taken By Sue to cover 80 miles = \frac{80}{x+10}

time taken by Doreen to travel 60 miles = \frac{60}{x}

According to question Sue take two hours less than Doreen takes

therefore

\frac{60}{x} - \frac{80}{x+10} =2

\frac{60(x+10)-80x}{x(x+10)} =2

60(x+10) -80x = 2(x(x+10)

60x+600-80x = 2x^2+20x\\

simplifying it ,we get

2x^2+40x-600=0\\

Dividing both sides by 2 ,we get

x^2+20x-300=0\\

solving it for x ,we get

(x+30)(x-10) =0

x =-30 which is not possible

x =10 miles per hour

Speed of Doreen = 10 miles per hour

Speed of Sue = 10+10 = 20 miles per hour

Time taken by Doreen = 60 divided by 10 = 6 hours

Time taken  by Sue = 80 divided by 20 = 4 hours
