In trapezoid $ABCD$, $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CD}$, $AB = 7$ units, and $CD = 10$ units. Segment $EF$ is drawn

parallel to $\overline{AB}$ with $E$ lying on $\overline{AD}$ and $F$ lying on $\overline{BC}$. If $BF:FC = 3:4$, what is $EF$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer:

EF = 58/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:

BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10

10BP = 7*(BP+7x)

10BP = 7BP+49x

3BP = 49x

BP = (49/3)x

BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF

EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP

EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)

EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)

EF = 58/7

The volume of a soap bubble is 555.4 mm^2 Find the radius and diameter of the soap bubble. Use 3.14 for pi
SashulF [63]

Answer:

radius=11.5

diameter=23

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is V=4/3 Pi r^3

We can use this to solve for the radius.

555.4= 4/3 (3.14)r^3

Solve for r how you would any other equation. Multiply 4/3 and 3.14.

555.4=4.187 r^3

Divide both sides by 4.187

132.65=r^3

To get rid of the ^3, find the cube root of both sides on a calcualtor.

r= 11.5

The diameter is the radius time two.

11.5 (2)=23.

Hope this helps!

Note: When I say both sides, I mean both sides of the = sign.
