Answer:

32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance across the river is give as x and we are interested in finding the value of x.

Both the triangles are similar by AA Postulate.

Therefore,

20/x = 10/16 (by c.s.s.t.)

2/x = 1/16

x = 16*2

x = 32 m

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman
Yanka [14]

Answer:

W\approx 8.72 and L\approx 15.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38

2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38

Let us find area of window equation as:

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})

\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)

Substitute this value in area equation:

A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2  

A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2  

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W  

A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W    

A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W

A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0

-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38

\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38

\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4

-8W-3\pi W=-152

8W+3\pi W=152

W(8+3\pi)=152

W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}

W=8.723210

W\approx 8.72

Upon substituting W=8.723210 in equation L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W), we will get:

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})

L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})

L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)

L=38-(22.42559622)

L=15.57440378

L\approx 15.57

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be W\approx 8.72 and L\approx 15.57.

Complete the table. This is due today.. (plzhelp)

One way to carry out this problem is to simply take the value that you already know, which is that 1/5 is 20 % and multiply it by 2 for 2/5 or 2 (1/5ths) and do this for all of them. There is a pattern that occurs for every increase in one out of denominator of 5.
