Answer:

x = 16°

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment AB, segment DC and segment EC all intersect at point C.

Here, we are told angle DCE measures 148°.

This is a semi-circle, and the total angle of a semi-circle is 180°.

Which means, x+x+148 = 180

Solving for x, we have:

x+x+148 = 180

2x + 148 = 180

2x = 180 - 148

2x = 32

$x = \frac{32}{2}$

x = 16°

The value of x is 16°

A Norman window has the shape of a semicircle atop a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of t

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

132.233 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the rectangle 'w' and the length 'x'. So the area of the semicircle is:

$A_1 = \pi*radius^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi*(w/2)^2/2$

$A_1 = \pi/8*w^2$

And the area of the rectangle is:

$A_2 = w*x$

If the perimeter of the window is 41 feet, we have:

$Perimeter = length + 2*width + \pi*radius$

$41 = x + 2*w + \pi*w/2$

$x = 41 - w(2 + \pi/2)$

Now, the equation for the total area of the window is:

$A = A_1 + A_2 = \pi/8*w^2 + w*x$

$A = \pi/8*w^2 + w*(41 - w(2 + \pi/2))$

$A = (\pi/8-2 - \pi/2)*w^2 + 41w = -3.1781w^2 + 41w$

To find the maximum area, we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

$x\_vertex = -b / 2a = -41 / (-3.1781*2) = 6.45$

So the width that gives us the maximum area of the window is 6.45 feet, and the area will be:

$A = -3.1781w^2 + 41w = -3.1781*(6.45)^2 + 41*6.45 = 132.233\ ft^2$

Carlos bought 80 feet of wire for $17.60. He needs 30 more feet. If the unit price is the same, how much will he pay for the e

Alika [10]

Answer:

Carlos bought 80 feet of wire for $17.60.

Then the price for 1 feet of wire is 17.6/80 = 0.22

=> 30 feet of wire would cost: 30 x 0.22 = 6.6

Hope this helps!
