Answer:
1) x²+4x=2700
2) 50x50
Step-by-step explanation:
Pony area = x²
line-up area=4x
x²+4x=2700
x²+4x-2700=0
(x-50)(x+54)
So x= 50 or -54. Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.
CHECK:
Square = 50x50 = 2500
Line up area = 50x4 = 200
2500+200=2700 YES
V=(4/3)pir^3
4.5pi=(4/3)pir^3
divide both sides by pi
4.5=(4/3)r^3
times 3/4 both sides
3.375=r^3
cube root both sides
1.5=r
radius is 1.5cm
Refer to the diagram shown below.
When x = 30 ft, the cable is at 15 ft, therefore y(30) = 15.
That is,
a(30 - h)² + k = 15 (1)
Also, because the distance between the supports is 90 ft, therefore
y(0) = 6 ft, and y(90) = 6 ft
That is,
a(-h)² + k = 6 (2)
a(90 - h)² + k = 6 (3)
From (2) and (3), obtain
a(90 - h)² = ah²
90² - 180h + h² = h²
180h = 90²
h = 45 ft.
From (1) and (2), obtain
225a + k = 15
2025a + k = 6
Therefore
1800a = -9
a = - 0.005
k = 15 - 225(-0.005) = 16.125 ft
Answer:
The equation for the cable is
y = - 0.005(x - 45)² + 16.125
A graph of the solution verifies that the solution is correct.
