Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

The approximate total area of the plastic triangles on the spinner is 2 × 3.9 square centimeters = 7.7 square centimeters


Step-by-step explanation:

Given:A spinner for a board game consists of a cardboard circle with two plastic arrows anchored to its center. The arrows are congruent isosceles triangles connected at their bases.

also,  Given: The base of each triangle measures 2 centimeters and the perimeter of each triangle is 10 centimeters.

We have to find the approximate total area of the plastic triangles on the spinner.

Perimeter of triangle is the sum of sides.

Since given the triangle to be isosceles .

Let the two equal side be x cm, then,

Perimeter of given triangle = 1 0

⇒ x  + x + 2 = 1 0

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 4

Thus, side of triangle is 4 cm.

Now we find the area of  isosceles triangle.

We first find the height, using Pythagoras theorem,

(AC)^2=(AD)^2+(DC)^2

Putting values, we get,

(4)^2=(AD)^2+(1)^2

Solving we get,

AD=3.87

Thus, area of one isosceles triangle  A=\frac{1}{2} bh

area of one isosceles triangle  A=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 3.87

On solving we get,

Approximate area of one plastic triangles on the spinner is 3.9 square centimeters.

Thus, the approximate total area of the plastic triangles on the spinner is 2 × 3.9 square centimeters = 7.7 square centimeters

Option (c) is correct.

For which value of c is the line y=3x+c a tangent to the parabola with equation y=x^2-5x+7
katrin2010 [14]
To give you a context on the problem, a tangent line is a line that intersects the parabola only at one single point. A parabola is a curve that forms an arc-shaped figure. A tangent line to a parabola is shown in the attached picture.

Now, we apply the concepts in calculus and analytical geometry. The first derivative of the equation is equal to the slope at the point of intersection. This slope must be equal to the slope of the tangent line. 

y = x² - 5x + 7
dy/dx = slope = 2x -5

Since tangent lines must have the same slope with what they intersect with, we can determine the slope from the equation: y = 3x + c. This is already arranged in a slope-intercept form, where 3 is the slope and c is the y-intercept. So, we can equate the equation above to 3.

2x - 5 = 3
x = 4

Now, we substitute x=4 to the original equation of the parabola:
y = (4)² - 5(4) + 7
y = 3

Therefore, the point of intersection is at (4,3). Now, we use it to the equation of the tangent line to find c.

y = 3x + c
3 = 3(4) + c
c = -9

When you multiply a number by 10,100,1,000 and so forth do you move the decimal point to the left or to the right as many places
katovenus [111]

Answer:

right

Step-by-step explanation:

You would move it towards the right because that adds a place value while moving it to the left takes away a place value.
