What fractions in this list are less than 1/2? 3/6,7/15,4/9,5/8

1 answer:

7 0

All we need to do is to find a common denominator for both 1/2 and the other numbers individually:

1/2 = 3/6 (so 3/6 is not less than 1/2 - both numbers are equal)
1/2 = 15/30 and 7/15 = 14/30 (so 7/15 is less than 1/2)
1/2 = 9/18 and 4/9 = 8/18 (so 4/9 is less than 1/2)
1/2 = 4/8 (so 5/8 is not less - it's greater than 1/2)

Answer: From the list above only <u>7/15 and 4/9</u> are less than 1/2.

7. If two segments are tangent to a circle from the same external point, then the segments are?

Alchen [17]

Answer: congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Two-Tangent Theorem states how two tangent segments are drawn to one circle from the same external point which means they are a congruent.

Answer:

(b) P = 2(S -A) ÷ L

Step-by-step explanation:

Undo what is done to P.

$S=A+\dfrac{1}{2}PL\qquad\text{given}\\\\S-A = \dfrac{1}{2}PL\qquad\text{subtract $A$}\\\\\dfrac{2}{L}(S-A)=P \qquad\text{multiply by $\dfrac{2}{L}$}\\\\\boxed{P=\dfrac{2(S-A)}{L}}$

Find the components of the vertical force Bold Upper FFequals=left angle 0 comma negative 4 right angle0,−4 in the directions pa

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$F_p = < - \sqrt{3} , -3 >\\\\F_o = < \sqrt{3} , -1 >$

Step-by-step explanation:

- A plane is oriented in a Cartesian coordinate system such that it makes an angle of ( π / 3 ) with the positive x - axis.

- A force ( F ) is directed along the y-axis as a vector < 0 , - 4 >

- We are to determine the the components of force ( F ) parallel and normal to the defined plane.

- We will denote two unit vectors: ( $u_p$ ) parallel to plane and ( $u_o$ ) orthogonal to the defined plane. We will define the two unit vectors in ( x - y ) plane as follows:

- The unit vector ( $u_p$ ) parallel to the defined plane makes an angle of ( 30° ) with the positive y-axis and an angle of ( π / 3 = 60° ) with the x-axis. We will find the projection of the vector onto the x and y axes as follows:

$u_o$ = < cos ( 60° ) , cos ( 30° ) >

$u_o = < \frac{1}{2} , \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} >$

- Similarly, the unit vector ( $u_o$ ) orthogonal to plane makes an angle of ( π / 3 ) with the positive x - axis and angle of ( π / 6 ) with the y-axis in negative direction. We will find the projection of the vector onto the x and y axes as follows:

$u_p = < cos ( \frac{\pi }{6} ) , - cos ( \frac{\pi }{3} ) >\\\\u_p = < \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , -\frac{1}{2} >\\$

- To find the projection of force ( F ) along and normal to the plane we will apply the dot product formulation:

- The Force vector parallel to the plane ( $F_p$ ) would be:

$F_p = u_p(F . u_p)\\\\F_p = < \frac{1}{2} , \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} > [ < 0 , - 4 > . < \frac{1}{2} , \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} > ]\\\\F_p = < \frac{1}{2} , \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} > [ -2\sqrt{3} ]\\\\F_p = < -\sqrt{3} , -3 >\\$

- Similarly, to find the projection of force ( $F_o$ ) normal to the plane we again employ the dot product formulation with normal unit vector ( $u_o$ ) as follows:

$F_o = u_o ( F . u_o )\\\\F_o = < \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , - \frac{1}{2} > [ < 0 , - 4 > . < \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , - \frac{1}{2} > ] \\\\F_o = < \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , - \frac{1}{2} > [ 2 ] \\\\F_o = < \sqrt{3} , - 1 >$

- To prove that the projected forces ( $F_o$ ) and ( $F_p$ ) are correct we will apply the vector summation of the two orthogonal vector which must equal to the original vector < 0 , - 4 >

$F = F_o + F_p\\\\< 0 , - 4 > = < \sqrt{3}, -1 > + < -\sqrt{3}, -3 > \\\\< 0 , - 4 > = < \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} , -1 - 3 > \\\\< 0 , - 4 > = < 0 , - 4 >$ .. proven
