Oliver has created a plot of his backyard on the given coordinate plane, so that each unit length is one yard. He wants to desig

n a right triangular plant bed for his backyard that has an area of eight square yards. After placing one vertex of the base of the plant bed at (3, 8) and one vertex at (7, 8) on his coordinate plane, he has to determine where to place the last vertex. Locate the possible locations of the last vertex on the coordinate plane.

Answer:

The possible locations are;

(3, 4), (3, 12), (7, 4), and (7, 12)

Please find attached the plot of the points created with Microsoft Excel      

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the plot of Oliver's backyard are;

The area of the right triangular plant bed Oliver wants to design, A = 8 yd²

The length of a/each unit of the plot = 1 yard

The location of one of the vertex of the right triangular area = (3, 8)

The location of the other vertex of the right triangular area = (7, 8)

We note that the area of a triangle, A = 1/2 × Base length, B × Height, h

Let the distance between the two plotted point represent the base length, 'B', therefore;

B = 7 - 3 = 4 (We subtract only the x-values (7 and 3) given that the y-values (8 and 8) are the same;

Therefore, the base length, B = 4 yards

A = 1/2 × B × h

∴ A = 8 yd.² = 1/2 × 4 yd. × h

h = 8 yd.²/ 2 yd. = 4 yd.

The height of the right triangle, h = 4 yd.

Therefore the possible locations of the last vertex the right triangle on the coordinate plane, given that the first two points are parallel with the x-axis, are points 4 units above or the y-axis value of the plotted points with the x-value of the last vertex being either 3, or 7 as follows;

(3, 8 ± 4) or (7, 8 ± 4) which give points, (3, 4), (3, 12), (7, 4), and (7, 12).

A pair of tow trucks are pulling on a trailer that is stuck
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

R=10,244 Lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can start by drawing the situation. (See attached picture).

We can look at the forces applied by the trucks as vectors, so in this case, in order to find the resultant force, we can add the two vectors. You can do so by drawing one force after the other and join the start of the first force with the end of the second force to form a triangle. The missing side will be the resultant force. In that triangle I drew there, the inner angle will be found by subtracting 180°-110°=70°

In this case we can find the resultant force by using the law of cosines:

A^{2}=B^{2}+C^{2}-2AB cos \alpha

so we can use the data given by the problem:

R^{2}=T_{1}^{2}+T_{2}^{2}-2T_{1}T_{2} cos \alpha

so we can solve this for R, so we get:

R=\sqrt{T_{1}^{2}+T_{2}^{2}-2T_{1}T_{2} cos \alpha}

now we can substitute:

R=\sqrt{(10,000Lb)^{2}+(7,500Lb)^{2}-2(10,000Lb)(7,500Lb) cos (70^{0})}

which yields:

R=10,244Lb

Steve made 9 3/6 cups of pancake batter on a weekend camping trip. He used 3 4/6 cios of batter for breakfast on Saturday. Write
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

9 3/6 ⇒ 19/2

3 4/6 ⇒ 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction greater than one is an improper fraction.

9\frac{3}{6} when converted into an improper fraction is

9\frac{3}{6} =9+\frac{3}{6} \\\\=\frac{9*6}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}\\\\ =\frac{54}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}=\frac{57}{6}\\\\ =\boxed{\frac{19}{2}. }

3\frac{4}{6} when converted to a fraction is

3\frac{4}{6}=3+\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{3*6}{6}+ \frac{4}{\\\\6}\\\\=\frac{18}{6}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{22}{6}\\\\=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}. }

Thus fractions 9\frac{3}{6} and 3\frac{4}{6} when converted to fractions greater than one are \frac{19}{2} and \frac{11}{3} respectively.
