what is the answer to this problem: A(-4,-5), B(-2,-3), C(4,-3), D(6,-2), E(6,6), F(-1,6), G(-4,2). Find the length of BC.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Length of BC is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

B is at (-2,-3) and C is at (4,-3)

Length BC

$=\sqrt{((-3--3)^{2} +(4--2)^{2} }=\sqrt{6^{2}} =6$

Ivan

Question:

The quantities x and y are in proportion

x y

4 6

30 45

8 b

a 15

(a) Find the values of a and b.

(b) Find the constant of variation. Is it direct variation or inverse variation?

Answer:

$a = 10$ and $b = 12$

Constant of variation is 1.5

Direct Variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The values of a and b

First, we determine the equation that relates x and y

From the table, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (4,6)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (30,45)$

The slope (m) is:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{45 - 6}{30 -4}$

$m = \frac{39}{26}$

$m = 1.5$

The equation is then calculated using:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

This gives:

$y - 6 = 1.5(x - 4)$

$y - 6 = 1.5x - 6$

$y = 1.5x$

Solving for the value of b

From the table: x = 8, y = b

Substitute these values in $y = 1.5x$

$b = 1.5 * 8$

$b = 12$

Solving for the value of a

From the table: x = a, y = 15

Substitute these values in $y = 1.5x$

$15 = 1.5 * a$

Solve for a

$a = \frac{15}{1.5}$

$a = 10$

Solving (b): The constant of variation.

This has been solved in (a) above as:

$m = 1.5$

Direct or Inverse?

From the given table, we notice that y increases as x increases and y decreases as x decreases.

<em>This shows direct variation</em>

A windshield wiper is 50 cm long. In one sweep it turns through an angle of 115°. Calculate the distance (length) it covers in o

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The distance in one sweep is 100 cm approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance the wiper covers in one sweep

Mathematically;

we have a structure like an arc of a circle. It is the length of this arc we want to calculate.

The formula for the length of an arc is;

theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

r is the radius which in this case is 50 cm

We have ;

115/360 * 2 * 3.1412 * 50 = 100 cm approximately

5. In the triangle ABC. M is the midpoint of [AB] and N is the midpoint of [CM].

sweet [91]

Answer:

N(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given that, In the triangle ABC. M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint of CM And A(-1, 3), B(7-3) and C(1,6).

Thus, For coordinates of N. first We have to find the Coordinate of M(x,y). As Given M is the Midpoint of A(-1, 3) and B(7-3).

Thus, M(x,y) = (-1+7)/2 , (3-3)/2 ⇒ M(3,0)

Now, As Given, N(a,b) is the Midpoint Of C(1,6) and M(3,0).

Thus. N(a,b) = (1+3)/2 , (6+0)/2 ⇒ N(2,3)
