If the point (a, b) is in Quadrant IV of a coordinate plane, then the x-coordinate of (a, b) will be positive and the y-coordinate will be negative.

EX: (5, -5)

The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = -9 - 3t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 8 by finding the derivati

pogonyaev

Given the function s(t) = -9 -3t, differentiating the function gives the instantaneous velocity. s’(t) = -3 This means that the velocity is not a function of time and is therefore constant. The velocity at t = 8 ( or any time for that matter) is -3 units/time.

the base of this right prism is an equilateral triangle. the approximate height of the base is 15.6 cm. what is the approximate

Andrew [12]

Hello!

To find the surface area you can divide the prism into the 2D shapes it is made of

First list out all the shapes

2 triangles with bases of 18 and heights of 15.6
3 rectangles with side lengths of 20 and 18

First find the area of the triangles

The equation to find the area of a triangle is

$A = \frac{hb}{2}$

A is area
h is height
b is base

Put in the values you know

$A = \frac{18 * 15.6}{2}$

Solve

A = 140.4

The triangles have an area of 140.4 units

Next we find the area of a the rectangles

To do this we multiply the sides

18 * 20 = 360

The rectangles have areas of 360 units

Now we add all the areas

There are 2 triangles and 3 rectangles

140.4 + 140.4 + 360 + 360 + 360 = 1360.8

The answer is B) 1360.8cm squared

Hope this helps!

the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 150cm. If the length of the altitude of the triangle is x√3cm, what is the value of

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

X = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we'll first of all find determine the side length of the triangle from the perimeter.

Perimeter of an equilaterial triangle = 3 * s

S = side length

Perimeter = 150cm

150 = 3s

S = 150 / 3

S = 50cm

The side lengths are 50cm each since they are all equal.

To find x,

We have to divide the triangle equally into two different part.

Check the first attachment for better illustration on how the equilaterial triangle is.

Check the second attachment for better illustration on the triangle when its divided into a right angle triangle.

From the right angle triangle, we can use pythagorean theorem to solve for x

a² = b² + c²

a = 50cm

b = 25cm

c = x√(3)

50² = [x√(3)]² + 25²

2500 = x² * 3 + 625

2500 - 625 = 3x²

1875 = 3x²

X² = 1875 / 3

X² = 625

X = √(625)

X = 25
