Answer:

The ratio for AD:DC is 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The ratio by which point B splits AC as AB:BC = 2:1

The ratio by which point D splits AB as AD:DB = 3:2

Therefore, we have;

The fraction of AC that is equal to AB is given as follows;

AB = 2/(2 + 1) × AC = 2/3 × AC

AB = 2/3 × AC

Similarly

BC = 1/3 × AC

Also the fraction of AB that is equal to AD is given as follows;

AD = 3/(3 + 2) × AB = 3/5 × AB

AD = 3/5 × AB

Therefore, the fraction of AC that is equal to AD is given as follows;

AD = 3/5 × AB = 3/5 × 2/3 × AC = 2/5 × AC

Therefore, DC = (1 - 2/5) × AC = 3/5 × AC

Which gives the ration of AD to DC or AD:DC as being;

AD:DC = 2/5 × AC : 3/5 × AC  = 2/5:3/5 = 2:3

The ratio for AD:DC = 2:3.

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{1. 59.44 in}^{2} \text{;  2. 352.7 in}^{2} \text{; 3. 471.6 in}^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Area of base

The radius given is that of the circumcircle.

The general formula for the edge length a  of a regular polygon is

a = 2Rsin(π/n)

So,

a = 2 × 5 × sin(π/5) = 10sin0.6283 = 10 × 0.5878 = 5.878 in

The general formula for the area of a regular polygon is

A = ¼na²cot(π/n)

So,

A = ¼ × 5 × 5.878²cot(π/5) = ¼ × 5 × 5.878² × 1.376 = 59.44 in²

2. Lateral area

The general formula for the lateral area L of regular prism is

L = nah

So,

L = 5 × 5.878 × 12 = 352.7 in²

3. Total area

Total surface area = lateral area + 2×base area

S = L + 2B = 352.7 + 2 × 59.44 = 471.6 in²

\boxed{ \text{B = 59.44 in}^{2} \text{; L = 352.7 in}^{2} \text{; S = 471.6 in}^{2}}

The Ferris wheel has a radius of 70 feet. The distance between the wheel and the ground is 4 feet. The rectangular coordinate sy
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The equation of the circular wheel is x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Radius of Ferris wheel r = 70 feet.

The distance between the wheel and the ground = 4 feet.

Also, the rectangular coordinate system shown has its origin on the ground directly below the center of the wheel.

So the x coordinate of center of wheel must  be 0 , and y coordinate = 70 + 4 = 74

Thus, Coordinates of center = (0,74)

The equation of circle is given by :-

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Now center (h,k) = (0,74) and r = 70 , we get

x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2

Hence, the equation of the circular wheel is x^2+(y-74)^2=(70)^2.
