A house with a rectangle base is built on a plot of land. The southwest corner of the plot is designated with coordinates (0,0).

The corners of the house are located at the points with coordinates (20,20), (5,40), (33,61), and (48,41), where distances are measured in feet. What are the length and width of the base of the house?

Answer:

The width of the base of the house is 25 feet

The length of the base of the house is 35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Displayed in the attachment is the plot of land drawn out in WXYZ(not to scale)

With the southwest corner coordinate (0,0) as the reference point

Plotted out is the base of the house built on it with coordinates (20,20),(5,40),(33,61),(48,41)

With A and B labelled width and length respectively

Length between coordinates is given as

Length=√(〖(x2-x1)〗^2+(〖y2-y1)〗^2 )

To find the width A,the points with coordinates (20,20) and (5,40) are used or (33,61) and (48,41)

Using point with coordinates (20,20) and (5,40)

Width, A=√(〖(5-20)〗^2+(〖40-20)〗^2 )=35

with x1=20, y1=20, x2=5, y2=40

Also try using points with coordinates (33,61) and (48,41).You will get same answer(opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)

To find the length B,the points with coordinates (48,41) and (20,20) are used or (5,40) and (33,61)

Using point with coordinates (48,41) and (20,20)

Length,B=√(〖(48-20)〗^2+(〖41-20)〗^2 )=25

with x1=20, y1=20, x2=48, y2=41

Also try using points with coordinates (5,40) and (33,61).You will get same answer(opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)

Find the tenth term of the geometric sequence, given the first term and common ratio.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

a_{10}=\dfrac{1}{128}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the geometric series:

a_1=4\\ \\r=\dfrac{1}{2}

The nth term of the geometric sequence can be calculated using formula

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

In your case, n = 10, then

a_{10}\\ \\=4\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-1}\\ \\=4\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^9\\ \\=2^2\cdot \dfrac{1}{2^9}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{2^{9-2}}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{2^7}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{128}

Consider the following set of equations, where s, s0, x and r have units of length, t has units of time, v has units of velocity
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to be dimensionally correct the dimension of quantities on both sides of equation must be same.

Also, two physically quantities can only be added or subtracted only when their dimension are same.

here all option are dimensionally correct except the 5th option where

dimension of t= [T] whereas dimension of a/v is \frac{LT^{-2}}{LT^{-1}}

= T^{-1}

since, the dimension of quantities on either sides of equation are not the same the equation is dimensionally is incorrect.
