You are constructing a triangular sail for a one-person sailboat. For support, a horizontal steel pole will run along the base o

f the sail and a vertical steel pole will run from the base to the top of the sail. In order for the sailboat to function properly, the combined weight of the poles cannot exceed 80 pounds. If the steel poles weigh 5 pounds per foot, what is the area of the largest sail you can build? Fully justify your answer; in particular, you must show that the area you found is indeed the largest possible.

Answer:

8 by 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular sail to be constructed with a vertical and a horizontal poles for support. The combined weight of the poles cannot exceed 80 pounds and the poles weigh 5 pounds per foot gives us a total length of 80/5=16 feet. Let us call the length of horizontal pole by x and we have (16-x) for the vertical one. We want to maximize area of the sail, so  [tex] A(x)= x (16-x)/2 [\tex] is the function we want to maximıze on [0, 16].

Solve for x . Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x = 24.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp /adj

tan 15 = x/90

90 tan 15 =x

x=24.11542

To the nearest tenth

x = 24.1

If you draw a card out of a deck of cards at random, what is the probability
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

\frac{1}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. The total outcomes are all the situations that could possibly happen. There are 52 cards in the deck, so there are 52 total outcomes. Next, the favorable outcomes are the outcomes we want. In this case it is drawing a 6. There are four 6's in a deck of cards: 6 of hearts, 6 of spades, 6 of diamonds, and 6 of clubs. This means there are 4 favorable outcomes.

We can write the probability as a fraction: \frac{favorable-outcomes}{total-outcomes}, so we can get \frac{4}{52}. Since both 4 and 52 are divisible by 4, the fraction can be simplified to \frac{1}{13}.
