Answer:

W_s \approx5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height H=3.5ft

Weight W= 6ft

Depth  D=0.95ft

Generally the equation for ellipses is given as

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Where

b=H/2\\b=3.5/2\\Therefore\\b=1.75\\a=W/2\\a=6/2\\Therefore\\a=3\\

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{y^2}{1.75^2} =1

Generally to find y in the equation \frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

y=-b+d

y=-1.75+0.95

y=-0.8

Therefore

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2} =1

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2}

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-0.2089795918

X^2 =3^2(1-0.2089795918)

X^2 =7.119183674

X =\sqrt{7.119183674}

X =2.66817984

Therefore the width of the given stream is

W_s=2.66817984*2

W_s=5.33635968

W_s \approx5.3

Please help ASAP.<br> What is the length os side BC of the triangle
Nuetrik [128]

nswer:

B C = 24

Explanation:

The triangle is isosceles, because (from the diagram)  ∠ A B C = ∠ A C B  - note how the angle there is marked on both of these. If these angles are equal, this means that the sides  

A C = A B

let  A C = A B

x +8=2x-1

8 = x − 1

x = 9

We want to find the length of  

B C , which is  ( 3 x − 3 ) . We know that  x = 9

B C =3 x − 3

B C = 3 ( 9 ) −3

B C = 27 − 3

B C = 24
