Answer:

Result:

The value of x = 12

The value of y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The parallelogram DEFG

DE = 6x-12

FG = 2x+36

EF = 4y

DG = 6y-42

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

As DE and FG are opposite sides, so

DE = FG

substituting DE = 6x-12 and FG = 2x+36 in the equation

6x-12 = 2x+36

6x-2x = 36+12

simplifying

4x = 48

dividing both sides by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Therefore,

The value of x = 12

Also, EF and DG are opposite sides, so

EF = DG

substituting EF = 4y and DG = 6y-42 in the equation

4y = 6y-42

switching sides

6y-42 = 4y

6y-4y = 42

2y = 42

dividing both sides by 2

2y/2 = 42/2

y = 21

Therefore,

The value of y = 21

Result:

The value of x = 12

The value of y = 21

Statuary Hall is an elliptical room in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The room is also called the Whispering Gall

dalvyx [7]

Answer: a) $\frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{529}$ = 1

b) The distance of two foci is 85.4 feet

c) Area = 3502.67 square feet

Step-by-step explanation: a) An ellipse has the equation in the form of:

$\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }$ = 1, where a is the horizontal axis and b is the vertical axis.

For the Statuary Hall, a = $\frac{97}{2}$ = 48.5 and b = $\frac{46}{2}$ = 23, so the equation will be

$\frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 }$ + $\frac{y^{2} }{529}$ = 1.

b) To determine the distance of the foci, we have to calculate 2c, where c is the distance between one focus and the center of the ellipse. To find c, as a, b and c create a triangle with a as hypotenuse:

$a^{2}$ = $b^{2} + c^{2}$

$c^{2} = a^{2} - b^{2}$

c = $\sqrt{48.5^{2} - 23^{2} }$

c = 42.7

The distance is 2c, so 2·42.7 = 85.4 feet.

The two foci are 85.4 feet apart.

c)The area of an ellipse is given by:

A = a.b.π

A = 48.5 · 23 · 3.14

A = 3502.67 ft²

The area of the floor room is 3502.67ft².

The length of a rectangle is 2x + 6. Its width is 52. Find the value of ac if the perimeter is 138m².

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

ac = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+b)$

= 138m^2= 2(2x + 6 ) + 52

= 4x + 12 + 52 = 138

= 4x + 64 = 138

= 4x = 138 - 64

= 4x = 74

= x = 74/4

= x = 18.5
