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].

This is (compound) probability: Picking two numbers from 1-10 and getting a multiple of 3 both times.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

There are 10 counters in the bag and you want the 4

As their is only one for the probability is

1/10

There are now 9 counters left in the bag.

You only want the even ones , which are 2 6 8 and 10 ( four has been taken out)

There are only four even counters in the bag of nine counters so the probability is

4/9

As you want both of these to occur, you need to multiply them

1/10 x 4/9 = 49/90

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question;

A group of eight golfers paid $430 to play a round of golf . Of the golfers one was a member and 7 were not.

Another group of golfers consists of two members and one nonmember. They paid a total of $75. What is the cost for a member to play a round of golf, and what is the cost for a nonmember?

Answer: X = $82.695 for members

Y = $49.615 for non members

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use X to denote members and Y for non-members.

Therefore, amount paid by one member to play + amount paid by 7 non-members to play = 430

X + 7Y = 430. . .1

Amount paid by 2 members to play + amount paid by one non-member to play = 215

2X + Y = 215. . .2

Solving both equations simultaneously

X+7Y = 430

2X +Y = 215

Therefore, from eqn 1. X = 430-7y

Substituting this into wan 2 gives

2(430-7Y) + Y = 215

860-14Y + Y = 215

860-215 =13Y

645 = 13y

Y = 49.615

Therefore substituting Y = 49.615 into any equation above

X + 7(49.615) = 430

X = 430-347.05

X = 82.695
