Answer:

a) 1650 m

b) 1677.05 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>1) Determine what is required for the answers</u>

For part A, we're asked for solve for the horizontal distance in which the road will rise 300 m. In other words, we're solving for the distance from point A to point C, point C being the third vertex of the triangle.

For part B, we're asked to solve for the length of the road, or the length of AB.

<u>2) Prove similarity</u>

In the diagram, we can see that there are two similar triangles: Triangle AXY and ABC (please refer to the image attached).

How do we know they're similar?

  1. Angles AYX and ACB are corresponding and they both measure 90 degrees
  2. Both triangles share angle A

Therefore, the two triangles are similar because of AA~ (angle-angle similarity).

<u>3) Solve for part A</u>

Recall that we need to find the length of AC.

First, set up a proportion. XY corresponds to BC and AY corresponds to AC:

\frac{XY}{BC}=\frac{AY}{AC}

Plug in known values

\frac{2}{300}=\frac{11}{AC}

Cross-multiply

2AC=11*300\\2AC=3300\\AC=1650

Therefore, the road will rise 300 m over a horizontal distance of 1650 m.

<u>4) Solve for part B</u>

To find the length of AB, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and a and b are the other sides

Plug in 300 and 1650 as the legs (we are solving for the longest side)

300^2+1650^2=c^2\\300^2+1650^2=c^2\\2812500=c^2\\1677.05=c

Therefore, the length of the road is approximately 1677.05 m.

I hope this helps!

Find the volume of the solid.
dmitriy555 [2]

In Cartesian coordinates, the region (call it R) is the set

R = \left\{(x,y,z) ~:~ x\ge0 \text{ and } y\ge0 \text{ and } 2 \le z \le 4-x^2-y^2\right\}

In the plane z=2, we have

2 = 4 - x^2 - y^2 \implies x^2 + y^2 = 2 = \left(\sqrt2\right)^2

which is a circle with radius \sqrt2. Then we can better describe the solid by

R = \left\{(x,y,z) ~:~ 0 \le x \le \sqrt2 \text{ and } 0 \le y \le \sqrt{2 - x^2} \text{ and } 2 \le z \le 4 - x^2 - y^2 \right\}

so that the volume is

\displaystyle \iiint_R dV = \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_0^{\sqrt{2-x^2}} \int_2^{4-x^2-y^2} dz \, dy \, dx

While doable, it's easier to compute the volume in cylindrical coordinates.

\begin{cases} x = r \cos(\theta) \\ y = r\sin(\theta) \\ z = \zeta \end{cases} \implies \begin{cases}x^2 + y^2 = r^2 \\ dV = r\,dr\,d\theta\,d\zeta\end{cases}

Then we can describe R in cylindrical coordinates by

R = \left\{(r,\theta,\zeta) ~:~ 0 \le r \le \sqrt2 \text{ and } 0 \le \theta \le\dfrac\pi2 \text{ and } 2 \le \zeta \le 4 - r^2\right\}

so that the volume is

\displaystyle \iiint_R dV = \int_0^{\pi/2} \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_2^{4-r^2} r \, d\zeta \, dr \, d\theta \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} \int_2^{4-r^2} r \, d\zeta\,dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} r((4 - r^2) - 2) \, dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \int_0^{\sqrt2} (2r-r^3) \, dr \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac\pi2 \left(\left(\sqrt2\right)^2 - \frac{\left(\sqrt2\right)^4}4\right) = \boxed{\frac\pi2}

Mariner Middle School has 550 students the height of each student is measured and recorded at the beginning of the year . A scho
tatiyna

Answer:

C) A histogram because the class organizes the data into different ranges or intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of numerical data. It is an approximate approach that groups a set of data into ranges on the x axis and having their match frequencies on the y axis.

A histogram makes it possible to represent a large amount of data and frequency in just one graph because of the interval/range option.

Because Mariner Middle school has a large number of students (550) and their height organized into equal intervals, the histogram is the best option.
