Mathematics

The angle bisector, median, and altitude are all the same things in an isosceles triangle.

That means that the legs of the smaller triangles created by the altitude are 4 root 2.

By special properties of an right triangle, the hypotenuse is 8.

Since the legs of the original right triangle are congruent, the area of the original triangle is 8*8/2.

Now we just simplify:

8*8/2=64/2=32

Answer:

$V=97.6\ in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cylinder

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

we have

$r=4/2=2\ in$ ---> the radius is half the diameter

$h=8\ in$

substitute

$V=\pi (2)^{2}(8)\\\\V=32\pi\ in^3$

step 2

Find the volume of the cone

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=2\ in$ ---> the radius is the same that the radius of the cylinder

$h=0.70\ in$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^{2} (0.70)\\\\V=0.93\pi\ in^3$

step 3

Find the volume of the plastic object

we know that

The volume of the plastic object is equal to the volume of the cylinder minus the volume of the cone

$V=32\pi-0.93\pi=31.07\pi\ in^3$

assume

$\pi=3.1416$

$V=31.07(3.1416)=97.6\ in^3$

Three numbers have a mean of 64. When a fourth number is included the mean is doubled. What is the fourth number?

astra-53 [7]

The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.

Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...

Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64

Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')

128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x

The missing number is 320..

Now lets double check our work.

Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128

Answer=320

You are knitting a blanket. You want the area of the blanket to be 24 ft². You want the length of the blanket to be 2 feet longe

Finger [1]

With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:

x*(x+2)=24

x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0

Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

where
ax^2+bx+c=0

(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2

x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6

The measure of an angle is twenty-four times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24x - measure of an angle

x - the measure of a complementary angle

Complementary angles adds to 90°

x + 24x = 90°

25x = 90°

x = 90°÷25

x = 3.6°

24x = 24·3.6° = 86.4°
