The smallest angle in a triangle is 1/3 as large as the largest angle. The third angle is twice the smallest angle. Find the thr

Sliva [168]

Let the largest angle in a triangle be x .

Then :-

The smallest angle :-

$\frac{1}{3} x$

The third angle :-

$\frac{2}{3} x$

Let us find the measure of the three angles .

Sum of all angles in the interior of a triangle = 180°

An equation to find the value of each angle :-

$x + \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x = 180$

$x + \frac{3}{3} x = 180$

$x + \frac{1}{1} x = 180$

$x + 1x = 180$

$x + x = 180$

$2x = 180$

$x = \frac{180}{2}$

$x = 90$

Which means :-

Measure of the largest angle = 90°

Measure of the smallest angle :-

$\frac{1}{3} \times 90$

$= 30°$

Measure of the third angle :-

$\frac{2}{3} \times 90$

$= 60°$

<h3>Therefore :-</h3>

The measure of the largest angle = 90°

The measure of the smallest angle = 30°

The measure of the third angle = 60°

13) -3x - 4y = 8<br>-4x - 3y=6

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

x = 0, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 4y = 8 (1)

-4x - 3y=6 (2)

Multiply (1) by -4 and (2) by -3, we have:

12x + 16y = - 32 (3)

12x + 9y= -18 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3), we have:

(12x + 16y) - (12x + 9y) = - 32 - (-18)

<=> 7y = - 14

=> y = - 2

Replace y with - 2 in (3), we have x = 0

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 3 ft/s from a point 500

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The rate at which both of them are moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate at which the woman is walking, $\frac{d(w)}{dt}$ = 3 ft/sec

Rate at which the man is walking, $\frac{d(m)}{dt}$ = 2 ft/sec

Collective rate of both, $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt}$ = 5 ft/sec

Woman starts walking after 5 mins so we have to consider total time traveled by man as (5+15) min = 20 min

Now,

Distance traveled by man and woman are $m$ and $w$ ft respectively.

⇒ $m=2\ ft/sec=2\times \frac{60}{min} \times 20\ min =2400\ ft$

⇒ $w=3\ ft/sec = 3\times \frac{60}{min} \times 15\ min =2700\ ft$

As we see in the diagram (attachment) that it forms a right angled triangle and we have to calculate $\frac{dh}{dt}$ .

Lets calculate h.

Applying Pythagoras formula.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $h=\sqrt{(2400+2700)^2+500^2} = 5124.45$

Now differentiating the Pythagoras formula we can calculate the rate at which both of them are moving apart.

Differentiating with respect to time.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $2h\frac{d(h)}{dt}=2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} + \frac{d(500)}{dt}$

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} }{2h}$ ...as $\frac{d(500)}{dt}= 0$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(2400+2700)(5)}{2\times 5124.45}$ ...as $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} = 5$ ft/sec

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =4.9761$ ft/sec

So the rate from which man and woman moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.
