Answer:

  (a)  412 ft

  (b)  276 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached diagram.

(a) The internal angle of triangle RBT at B is 90° -10° = 80°. Since we know lengths RB and BT, we can find the length RT using the law of cosines:

  RT² = RB² +BT² -2·RB·BT·cos(80°) = 190² +400² -2·190·400·cos(80°)

  RT² ≈ 169,705.477

  RT ≈ √169,705.477 ≈ 411.95

The guy wire to the hillside should be about 412 feet long.

__

(b) The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the shorter wire length.

  LM² = LB² +MB²

  LM = √(190² +200²) = √76,100

  LM ≈ 275.86

The guy wire to the flat side should be about 276 feet long.

Jarron has a piece of chalk tied to the end of a
solniwko [45]

Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.

How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .

:  

Let x = the circumference of the circle

then

(24-x) = the perimeter of the square

:

Find the area of the circle

find r

2*pi*r = x

r =  

Find the area of the circle

A =  

A =  

A =  sq/cm, the area of the circle

:

Find the area of the square

A =  sq/cm the area of the square

The total area

At =  +  

Graph this equation, find the min

Min occurs when x=10.6 cm

cut string 10.6 cm from one end

Step-by-step explanation: Hope I help out alot (-: :-)
