Answer:

The value of the side PS is 26 approx.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have two right triangles. Triangle PQR and Triangle PQS.

Where S is some point on the line segment QR.

Given:

PR = 20

SR = 11

QS = 5

We know that QR = QS + SR

QR = 11 + 5

QR = 16

Now triangle PQR has one unknown side PQ which in its base.

Finding PQ:

Using Pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle PQR.

PR² = PQ² + QR²

PQ = √(PR² - QR²)

PQ = √(20²+16²)

PQ = √656

PQ = 4√41

Now for right angled triangle PQS, PS is unknown which is actually the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Finding PS:

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

PS² = PQ² + QS²

PS² = 656 + 25

PS² = 681

PS = 26.09

PS = 26

Which is the graph of the linear equality 2x-3y<12
Aloiza [94]
2x - 3y < 12
-3y < -2x + 12...change the inequality sign because ur dividing by a negative number
y > 2/3x - 4

u have a slope of 2/3.....u have a y intercept of -4 or (0,-4)

to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x....disregard the inequality sign ....
y = 2/3x - 4
0 = 2/3x - 4
-2/3x = -4
x = -4 / (-2/3)
x = -4 * -3/2
x = 12/6
x = 2......and ur x int is 2 or (2,0)

so go ahead and plot ur intercepts (0,-4) and (2,0)....so start at (0,-4)...and since u have a slope of 2/3......go up 2 spaces and to the right 3 spaces...plot that point....then up 2 and to the right 3...plot that point...keep doing this and u will cross the x axis at (2,0)......now just draw a dashed line connecting ur plotted points

ur line will be a dashed line (because there is no equal sign in the problem)....ur shading will be above the line because it is greater then

mulch to cover a rectangular garden costs 48. mulch is needed to cover a larger, similar garden. the ratio of dimensions is 2:3.
d1i1m1o1n [39]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccllll}&#10;&Sides&Area&Volume\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}&#10;\end{array} \\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{small}{garden}}{\stackrel{large}{garden}}\qquad \stackrel{sides~ratio}{\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \stackrel{\textit{area ratio}}{\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}}\implies \cfrac{2^2}{3^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{2^2}{3^2}=\cfrac{\stackrel{small~area~cost}{48}}{\stackrel{large~area~cost}{a}}\implies \cfrac{4}{9}=\cfrac{48}{a}\implies a=\cfrac{9\cdot 48}{4}

the ratio of the cost, is tandem to the ratio of the areas, because, to get the cost for the mulch, you have to first know how many square meters/feet have, and then you apply the cost evenly, now, the cost is just a factor, therefore, the ratio is retained.
