Step-by-step explanation:

Using similarity it can be solved as:

In\:\triangle PDW\: \& \:  \triangle CTW\\\\\angle PDW \cong \angle CTW.... (each\:90 °) \\\\\angle PWD \cong \angle CWT... (Vertical\:\angle s) \\\\\therefore \triangle PDW\: \sim\:  \triangle CTW\\(by \:AA\: criterion \: of\: similarity) \\\\\therefore \frac{PW}{CW} =\frac{WD}{WT}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{PW}{6} =\frac{12}{3}\\\\\therefore \frac{PW}{6} =4\\\\\therefore PW=4\times 6\\\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore PW=24}} \\\\In\:\triangle PDW\:, \angle PWD = 60°\\\\\therefore PD =\frac {\sqrt 3}{2} \times PW\\\\\therefore PD =\frac {\sqrt 3}{2} \times 24\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore PD = 12\sqrt 3\: units}}

Answer:

PD = 12\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in right Δ PDW and the exact value

tan30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }, then

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{WD}{PD} = \frac{12}{PD} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } ( cross- multiply )

PD = 12\sqrt{3}

Katie wants to collect over 100 seashells. She already has 34 seashells in her collection. Each day, she finds 12 more seashells
dlinn [17]

Answer:

12d+34>100  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of days.

We have been that each day Katie finds 12 more seashells on beach, so after collecting shells for d days Katie will have 12d shells.  

We are also told that Katie already has 34 seashells in her collection, so total number of shells in Katie collection after d days will be: 12d+34

As Katie wants to collect over 100 seashells, so the total number of shells collected in d days will be greater than 100. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

12d+34>100

Therefore, the inequality 12d+34>100 can be used to find the number of days, d, it will take Katie to collect over 100 seashells.

Answer:

<h2> <em><u>384</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given</u></em><em><u>, </u></em>

Dimensions of the rectangular prism = 9ft, 12ft and 4ft

<em><u>Therefore</u></em><em><u>, </u></em>

Surface area of the rectangular prism

= 2( lb + bh + lh)

= 2(12 \times 9 + 9 \times 4 + 12 \times 4) {ft}^{2}

= 2(108 + 36 + 48) {ft}^{2}

= 2 \times 192 {ft}^{2}

= 384 {ft}^{2}

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

<em><u>Surface</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>area</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>of</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>rectangular</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>prism</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>384</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>sq</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>ft</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>
