Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Here, </h3><h3>h = 20cm</h3><h3 /><h3>By question, </h3><h3>p + b = 28cm</h3><h3>or, p = 28 - b</h3><h3 /><h3>Using pythagoras theorem, </h3>

<h3>h^2 =p^2 + b^2</h3><h3>20^2 = (28-b) ^2 + b^2</h3><h3>400 = 28^2 -2x28xb + b^2 + b^2</h3><h3>56b = 784 - 400 + 2 b^2</h3><h3>0 = 2b^2 - 56b + 384 </h3><h3>0 = 2 ( b^2 - 28b + 192)</h3><h3>0 = b^2 - (16 + 12) b + 192</h3><h3>0 = b^2 - 16b - 12b + 192</h3><h3>0 = b (b - 16) - 12 (b - 16)</h3><h3>0 = (b - 16) (b - 12)</h3><h3>Either, </h3><h3>b= 16</h3><h3>Or,</h3><h3>b = 12</h3>

<h3>When b = 16,</h3><h3>p = 28 - 16 </h3><h3> = 12</h3><h3>When b = 12,</h3><h3>p = 28 - 12</h3><h3> = 16</h3>

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is \frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1.

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2}  - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21 {Since e = \frac{5}{2} given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be  

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1. (Answer)

XYZ has coordinates X(2, 3), Y(1,4), and Z(8,9). A translation maps X to X'(4,7). What are the coordinates for Y' and Z' for thi
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to derive an expression for translation under the assumption that each point of XYZ experiments the same translation. Vectorially speaking, translation from X to X' is defined by:

X'(x,y) = X(x,y) + T(x,y) (1)

Where T(x,y) is the vector translation.

If we know that X(x,y) = (2,3) and X'(x,y) = (4,7), then the vector translation is:

T(x,y) = X'(x,y)-X(x,y)

T(x,y) = (4,7) - (2,3)

T(x,y) = (2, 4)

Then, we determine the coordinates for Y' and Z':

Y'(x,y) = Y(x,y) + T(x,y)

Y'(x,y) = (1,4) + (2,4)

Y'(x,y) = (3, 8)

Z'(x,y) = Z(x,y) + T(x,y)

Z'(x,y) =(8,9) + (2,4)

Z'(x,y) = (10, 13)

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

A circular rug has a circumference of 12.56 feet. What is the area of the rug? (Use 3.14 for .)
viktelen [127]
Unbelievably the same answer! Why? circumference is r * 2 * 3.14 = C
so i divided 12.56 with 3.14 = 4 / 2 = 2
the area of circle r^2 * 3.14 = A
2*2 = 4 * 3.14 is the same as circumference
