Mathematics

Anna [14]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 8

x = 8√5

z = 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula (which is a geometric mean):

a        y

---- = -----

x        a

Where a is the altitude (y), x is a projection (16), and y is the other projection (4):

y        4

---- = -----

16       y

Cross multiply:

y² = 16 (4)

y² = 64

√y² = √64

y = 8

To find x and z, use the Pythagorean Theorem:

16² + y² = x²

256 + 8² = x²

256 + 64 = x²

320 = x²

√320 = √x²

√64√5 = √x²

8√5 = x

x = 8√5

4² + y² = z²

16 + 64 = z²

80 = z²

√80 = √z²

√16√5 = √z²

4√5 = z

z = 4√5

The plans for a rectangular deck call for the width to be 10 feet less than the length. Sam wants the deck to have an overall pe
sergeinik [125]

Length of deck is 40 feet

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Sam wants the deck to have an overall perimeter of 60 feet

Perimeter of rectangular deck = 60 feet

Let "L" be the length of rectangle and "W" be the width of rectangle

Given that plans for a rectangular deck call for the width to be 10 feet less than the length

Width = length - 10

W = L - 10  ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

Substituting the known values we get,

60 = 2(L + L - 10)

60 = 2(2L - 10)

60 = 4L - 20

80 = 4L

L = 20

Thus the length of deck is 20 feet

Find the line through (3, 1, −2) that intersects and is perpendicular to the line x = −1 + t, y = −2 + t, z = −1 + t. (HINT: If
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

( xo , yo , zo ) = ( 1 , 0 , 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- A line passing through point (3, 1, −2) intersects and is perpendicular to line with coordinates:

                  x = −1 + t, y = −2 + t, z = −1 + t   .... t = arbitrary parameter.

Find:-

The coordinates for point of intersection.

Solution:-

- The line that passes through point (3, 1, −2) = ( a, b , c ) and an a arbitrary point on the given line have the following direction vector d2 :

                 d2 = ( x2 , y2 , z2 )

                 x2 = a - ( x ) = 3 - ( -1 + t ) = 4 - t

                 y2 = b - ( y ) = 1 - ( -2 + t ) = 3 - t

                 z2 = c - ( z )  = -2 - ( -1 + t ) = -1 - t

                d2 = (  4 - t , 3 - t , -1 - t )

- The direction vector d1 of the given line is:

                 d1 = ( x1 , y1 , z1 )

                 x1 = 1

                 y1 = 1

                 z1 = 1

                 d1 = ( 1 , 1 , 1 )

- The dot product of two orthogonal vectors is always equal to zero:

                 d1.d2 = 0

                 (  4 - t , 3 - t , -1 - t ) . ( 1 , 1 , 1 ) = 0

- Solve for parameter (t):

                 (4 - t) + (3 - t) + (-1 - t) = 0

                  6 -3t = 0

                  t = 2  

- The coordinates of the point of intersections can be evaluated by substituting the value of "t" into the given equation of line:

                 xo ( t = 2) = - 1 + 2 = 1

                 yo ( t = 2) = - 2 + 2 = 0

                 zo ( t = 2) = - 1 + 2 = 1

- The coordinates are:

                 ( xo , yo , zo ) = ( 1 , 0 , 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y=m(x-x¹)

y-(-11)=2/5(x-10)

y+11=2/5x-4

-11 -11

y=2/5x-15
