The altitude (i.e., height) of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at

a rate of 1.5 square cm/minute. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 12 centimeters and the area is 99 square centimeters

Answer:

A = 1/2 B H area = 1/2 base X height

B = 2 A / H = 2 * 99 / 12 = 16.5 cm

dA / d t = 1/2 * (B dH / dt + H dB / dt)

dB / dt = (2 dA / dt - B dH / dt) / H

dB / dt = (2 * 1.5 cm^2 / min - 16.5 cm * 2 cm / min) / 12 cm

dB / dt = (3 - 33) / 12 cm/min = -2.5 cm/min

Four circles, each with a radius of 2 inches, are removed from a square.

natka813 [3]

<u>Given:</u>

Given that the radius of the circle is 2 inches.

We need to determine the area of the remaining square.

<u>Area of a square:</u>

Given that each circle has a radius of 2 inches.

Then, the diameter of each circle is 4 inches.

Hence, the side length of the square is 2 × 4 = 8 inches.

The area of the square is given by

$A=s^2$

$A=8^2$

$A=64$ $in^2$

Thus, the area of the square is 64 square inches.

<u>Area of the four circles:</u>

The area of one circle is given by

$A=\pi r^2$

Substituting r = 2, we have;

$A=4\pi$

Thus, the area of one circle is 4π in²

The area of 4 circles is 4 × 4π =16π in²

Hence, the area of the 4 circles is 16π in²

<u>Area of the remaining square:</u>

The area of the remaining square is given by

Area = Area of the square - Area of four circles.

Substituting the values, we get;

$Area=64-16\pi$

Thus, the area of the remaining square is (64 - 16π) in²

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.

What is the solution to the linear equation? x – StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction x minus StartFraction one-half EndFraction e

Question:

What is the solution to the linear equation?

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Answer:

$x = \frac{-5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Required

Simplify

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Add $\frac{1}{2}$ to both sides

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2}$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2}$

Subtract $\frac{5}{6}x$ from both sides

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6}x$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{6}x- \frac{5}{6}x$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2}$

Take LCMs

$\frac{6x - 4x -5x}{6}= \frac{2+3}{6}$

$\frac{-3x}{6}= \frac{5}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 * \frac{-3x}{6}= \frac{5}{6} * 6$

$-3x= 5$

Divide both sides by -3

$\frac{-3x}{-3}= \frac{5}{-3}$

$x = \frac{5}{-3}$

$x = \frac{-5}{3}$
