Answer:

Length of base of triangle = 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of triangle = 10 square feet

Height of triangle = 10 feet

FInd

Length of base of triangle

Computation:

⇒ Area of triangle = (1/2)(Base)(Height)

⇒ 10 = (1/2)(Base)(10)

⇒ 10 = Base(5)

⇒ Length of base of triangle = 10 / 5

Length of base of triangle = 2 feet

Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

for area of a triangle it's (height times width) divided by 2, and 10 times 2 divided by 2 is 10

Olin [163]

Answer:

x = ∛(2V/7)

y = ∛(2V/7)

z = 3.5 [∛(2V/7)]

{x,y,z} = { ∛(2V/7), ∛(2V/7), 3.5[∛(2V/7)] }

Step-by-step explanation:

The aquarium is a cuboid open at the top.

Let the dimensions of the base of the aquarium be x and y.

The height of the aquarium is then z.

The volume of the aquarium is then

V = xyz

Area of the base of the aquarium = xy

Area of the other faces = 2xz + 2yz

The problem is to now minimize the value of the cost function.

The cost of the area of the base per area is seven times the cost of any other face per area.

With the right assumption that the cost of the other faces per area is 1 currency units, then, the cost of the base of the aquarium per area would then be 7 currency units.

Cost of the base of the aquarium = 7xy

cost of the other faces = 2xz + 2yz

Total cost function = 7xy + 2xz + 2yz

C(x,y,z) = 7xy + 2xz + 2yz

We're to minimize this function subject to the constraint that

xyz = V

The constraint can be rewritten as

xyz - V = 0

Using Lagrange multiplier, we then write the equation in Lagrange form

Lagrange function = Function - λ(constraint)

where λ = Lagrange factor, which can be a function of x, y and z

L(x,y,z) = 7xy + 2xz + 2yz - λ(xyz - V)

We then take the partial derivatives of the Lagrange function with respect to x, y, z and λ. Because these are turning points and at the turning point, each of the partial derivatives is equal to 0.

(∂L/∂x) = 7y + 2z - λyz = 0

λ = (7y + 2z)/yz = (7/z) + (2/y) (eqn 1)

(∂L/∂y) = 7x + 2z - λxz = 0

λ = (7x + 2z)/xz = (7/z) + (2/x) (eqn 2)

(∂L/∂z) = 2x + 2y - λxy = 0

λ = (2x + 2y)/xy = (2/y) + (2/x) (eqn 3)

(∂L/∂λ) = xyz - V = 0

We can then equate the values of λ from the first 3 partial derivatives and solve for the values of x, y and z

(eqn 1) = (eqn 2)

(7/z) + (2/y) = (7/z) + (2/x)

(2/y) = (2/x)

y = x

Also,

(eqn 1) = (eqn 3)

(7/z) + (2/x) = (2/y) + (2/x)

(7/z) = (2/y)

z = (7y/2)

Hence, at the point where the box has minimal area,

y = x,

z = (7y/2) = (7x/2)

We can then substitute those into the constraint equation for y and z

xyz = V

x(x)(7x/2) = V

(7x³/2) = V

x³ = (2V/7)

x = ∛(2V/7)

y = x = ∛(2V/7)

z = (7x/2) = 3.5 [∛(2V/7)]

The values of x, y and z in terms of the volume that minimizes the cost function are

{x,y,z} = {∛(2V/7), ∛(2V/7), 3.5[∛(2V/7)]}

Hope this Helps!!!

PLEASE HELP MEE I CAN'T SOLVE THIS BY MYSELF!

UNO [17]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is attached below.

Its given that SV is parallel to RU. We have to find the value of x.

Observe that, if we join point V to U, we will obtain a parallelogram RSVU. One of the properties of a parallelogram is that the sum of its two adjacent angles is always 180 degrees.

So, the two adjacent angles would be: ∠S and ∠R

From the figure:

∠S = 5x + 4

∠R = 44 + x

Since,

∠S + ∠R must be 180 degrees, we can write:

∠S + ∠R = 180

5x + 4 + 44 + x = 180

6x + 48 = 180

6x = 132

x = 22

Therefore, the value of x is 22.

The points A BC :(2, 2,1), :(1,1,3), :(2,0,5) − are the vertices of a right triangle. The radius of the sphere with center at th

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

r=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the length of each side of the triangle, so we use the formula of the vector modulus:

$|AB|= \sqrt{(b_{1}-a_{1})^{2}+(b_{2}-a_{2})^{2}+(b_{3}-a_{3})^{2}$

By doing so, we find:

$|AB|=\sqrt {6}\\|BC|=\sqrt {6}\\|AC|=2\sqrt {5}$

With this we know that the triangle is not right, but, we assume the longest side as the hypotenuse of the problem.

As we have two equal sides, we know that the line between point |AB| and the center of the hypotenuse is perpendicular, therefore, we can calculate it using Pythagoras theorem:

$|BC|^{2}=r^{2}+(\frac{|AC|}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=|BC|^{2}-(\frac{|AC|}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=(\sqrt{6})^{2}- (\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=6-5=1\\r=1$
