The width of the pathway is 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be 'w'

The area will be 130 square meters

The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7

Area = (10+w) (7+w)

130 = 70 + 17w + w^2

w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0

w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0

w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0

(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0

w = -20 ( or) w = 3

w is the width and cannot be negative.

So, w = 3 meters

The width of the pathway is 3m

Law of Cosines says


b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2 ac \cos B


2 a c \cos B = a^2 + c^2 - b^2


\cos B = \dfrac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2 a c}


\cos B = \dfrac{16^2 + 16^2 - 11^2}{2(16)(16)} = \dfrac{ 391}{512}


B = \arccos  \dfrac{ 391}{512} \approx 40.2 ^\circ

A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G. What are the coordinates
I am Lyosha [343]

Given:

A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G.

To find:

The coordinates of point G.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divide a line segment with end points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are

Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Point G divide the line segment FH in 8:2. Using section formula, we get

G=\left(\dfrac{8(8)+2(-8)}{8+2},\dfrac{8(6)+2(-2)}{8+2}\right)

G=\left(\dfrac{64-16}{10},\dfrac{48-4}{10}\right)

G=\left(\dfrac{48}{10},\dfrac{44}{10}\right)

G=\left(4.8,4.4\right)

Therefore, the coordinates of point G are (4.8, 4.4).

B. What is the volume of the prism in cm3? Show your reasoning. If you
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is length × height × width

Length=7 1/2

Width= 15 1/2

Height=12

Volume of the prism is therefore:

7 1/2×12×15 1/2= 1395cm3

No of cubes with edge length 1/2 to fit into the prism will be:

Volume of cube is L*W*H

1/2*1/2*1/2= 1/8cm3

Therefore the no of cubes to fit into the Prism will be:

1395/(1/8)= 11160 cubes.

If one was stuck,the number of 1/2 edge length cube to fit into 1cm will be:

1/(1/8)= 8 cubes
