Answer:

\frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance d, of a point (a, b, c) from a plane mx + ny + tz = r is given by:

d = |\frac{(ma + nb + tc - r)}{\sqrt{m^2 + n^2 + t^2}} |                   --------------------(i)

From the question,

the point is (5, 0, -6)

the plane is x + y + z = 6

Therefore,

a = 5

b = 0

c = -6

m = 1

n = 1

t = 1

r = 6

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

d = |\frac{((1*5) + (1*0) + (1 * (-6)) - 6)}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2}} |

d = |\frac{((5) + (0) + (-6) - 6)}{\sqrt{1 + 1 + 1}} |

d = |\frac{(-7)}{\sqrt{3}} |

d = \frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}

Therefore, the shortest distance from the point to the plane is  d = \frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}

Pyramid = 40
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A. 39,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the lower prism = 30^3= 27,000

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 area of the base * height

= 1/3 * 900 * 40

= 1200

Volume of the whole solid = 27000 + 12000

= 39,000,

There are 11 students in your class. In how many ways a group of 4 students will be
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are always included to lead, that leaves 10 students to choose from.

If all that is important is being selected, then there are 10C3 = 120 ways to choose them.

If each selection has a unique duty, then there are 10P3 = 720 ways to assign them their jobs.

A car is driving at 65 kilometers per hour. How far, in meters, does it travel in 3 seconds?
kati45 [8]

Step-by-step explanation:

65 km / h = 65,000 m / 3600 s

what do we need to multiply 3600 with to get 3 ?

3600 × f = 3

f = 3/3600 = 1/1200

now, we need to multiply 65,000 by the same factor to get how many meters the car is driving in these 3 seconds :

65000 × 1/1200 = 65000/1200 = 54.16666666...

so, rounded, it travels 54 meters in 3 seconds.
