a side of a square bulletin board measures 34 inches. Which of these is the closest length of a diagonal?

1 answer:

6 0

If you diagonally slice the board, you get a right angle, which pyth thm can be used. side2 x side2 = diagonal2

34squared + 34squared = x (diagonal) squared
1156 + 1156 = x squared
2312 = x squared
x = 48.0832611207
so just correct it to the closest as 48 inches

66 bats were sold. Some were sold for $42 each the rest were sold for $30 each. The total sales were$2,460. Write and solve a sy

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

40 bats sold for $42

26 bats sold for $30

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 66

42x + 30y = 2460

solve first equation for y and plug in for y in second equation

42x + 30 (66 - x) = 2460

x = 40

y = 66- 40 = 26

Find the measures of the angles of the triangle whose vertices are A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3).A.) The measure of ∠A

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$\theta_{CAB}=128.316$

$\theta_{ABC}=25.842$

$\theta_{BCA}=25.842$

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3)

We're going to use the distance formula to find the length of the sides:

$r= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}$

$AB= \sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(0-3)^2}=5$

$BC= \sqrt{(1-1)^2+(3-(-3))^2}=9$

$CA= \sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}=5$

we can use the cosine law to find the angle:

it is to be noted that:

the angle CAB is opposite to the BC.

the angle ABC is opposite to the AC.

the angle BCA is opposite to the AB.

to find the CAB, we'll use:

$BC^2 = AB^2+CA^2-(AB)(CA)\cos{\theta_{CAB}}$

$\dfrac{BC^2-(AB^2+CA^2)}{-2(AB)(CA)} =\cos{\theta_{CAB}}$

$\cos{\theta_{CAB}}=\dfrac{9^2-(5^2+5^2)}{-2(5)(5)}$

$\theta_{CAB}=\arccos{-\dfrac{0.62}}$

$\theta_{CAB}=128.316$

Although we can use the same cosine law to find the other angles. but we can use sine law now too since we have one angle!

To find the angle ABC

$\dfrac{\sin{\theta_{ABC}}}{AC}=\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}$

$\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=AC\left(\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}\right)$

$\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=5\left(\dfrac{\sin{128.316}}{9}\right)$

$\theta_{ABC}=\arcsin{0.4359}\right)$

$\theta_{ABC}=25.842$

finally, we've seen that the triangle has two equal sides, AB = CA, this is an isosceles triangle. hence the angles ABC and BCA would also be the same.

$\theta_{BCA}=25.842$

this can also be checked using the fact the sum of all angles inside a triangle is 180

$\theta_{ABC}+\theta_{BCA}+\theta_{CAB}=180$

$25.842+128.316+25.842$

$180$

Explain how the number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece?

Bumek [7]

Assuming the size of the whole remains constant, as you divide the whole into more pieces, each piece must be smaller. For example, when a whole is divided into four pieces vs nine pieces, 1/4 of the whole is larger than 1/9 of a whole.
