A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee

d along different legs of the triangle while spraying the land. If the area covered is changing at
5 m2/s, how fast are the people moving when they are 5 m from the right angle? (Round approximations to two decimal places.)

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s

The height of a pyramid-shaped sculpture with a square base is one half the length of each side. The volume of the sculpture is
Nimfa-mama [501]

The volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 x base length^2 x height

Let X = base length.

We are told the height is 1/2 the length, so height would be 1/2x

Now we have:

972 = 1/3 * x^2 * 1/2x

Simplifying we get:

972 = 1/6x^3

Multiply both sides by 6:

5832 = x^3

Take the cube root of both sides:

x = 18

The length of the base is 18 inches.

The height is 1/2 that, so the height would be 18/2 = 9 inches.

What is the answer of square root of -24 in complex numbers
Sergio039 [100]

With \sqrt{-1}=i, we have

\sqrt{-24}=\sqrt{(-1)(24)}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{24}=i\sqrt{24}

Since 24=2^3\cdot3, we can further write this as

i\sqrt{24}=i\sqrt{2^2\cdot6}=2i\sqrt6
