A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 53 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 70 miles north of the t

ransmitter to a second city 74 miles east of the transmitter, during how much of the drive will you pick up a signal from the transmitter?

4 0

Answer:

29% of the drive

Step-by-step explanation:

The plot of the problem is:

Transmitter at origin (0,0)  

City to the north at (0,70)

City to the east at (74,0)

The path from city to city is a line with slope:

m = (-70)/74 = -35/37

and y-intercept at y = 70, so the equation is y = (-35/37)*x + 70.

The transmitter reach the area enclosed by the next circle:

x^2 + y^2 = 53^2

See the picture attached

The intersection is gotten from the picture or solving:

x^2 + [(-35/37)*x + 70]^2 = 53^2

the points approximately are: (24.1, 47.2) and (45.8, 26.7)

From Pythagorean theorem the total distance of the trip is:

d1 = √(70^2 + 74^2) ≈ 101.9 miles

And the distance when the signal is picked up is:

d2 =√ [(45.8 - 24.1)^2 + (47.2 - 26.7)^2] ≈ 29.9 miles

You will pick up a signal from the transmitter in (d2/d1)*100 = 29% of the drive.

What is the slope intercept form of y-2 = 2 (x-3)
nevsk [136]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert to slope intercept form which is y = mx + b</u>

y - 2 = 2(x - 3)

y - 2 + 2 = 2x - 6 + 2

y = 2x - 4

Answer:  y = 2x - 4

Hi:) for triangle inequalities , the sum of two sides of a triangle has to be greater than the third side.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Note :

Consider a triangle with sides‘s length a , b and c

triangle inequalities state that we must have c - a < b < c + a

now , is the third side always the longest ?

the answer is NO: (let’s take a counter example )

in a triangle with 2 sides‘s length 3 , 4

the third side could measure 2

because 4-3 < 2 < 4+3
