1. The prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases. Create an equation that models the height of one of the roof's triang

ular bases in terms of its sides. In your final answer, include all necessary calculations.
2. The prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases. Use the model you created in question #1 to calculate the height of the roof, to the nearest tenth of a foot, if the side lengths each measure 25 feet. In your final answer, include all necessary calculations.

3. To determine the amount of roofing materials needed, the area of the roof's entire surface is calculated, including the ceiling of the garage. Considering the sketch of the roofing design, create a formula to model the area of the roof's entire surface. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

4. The contractor in charge of the roofing project is trying to make the job the most cost effective for the homeowners. In order to cut back on the cost of supplies, he decides that a ceiling in the garage is not necessary. In other words, there will not be a barrier built between the garage and the roof. In two or more complete sentences, explain how these changes affect the model for the area of the roof's entire surface.

In order to cut back on the cost of supplies, he decides that a ceiling in the garage is not necessary. In other words, there will not be a barrier built between the garage and the roof. Create a formula modeling the area of the roof’s surfaces that the contractor will be purchasing supplies for.

6. Use the formula you created in the previous question to calculate the area of the roof that the contractor will be purchasing supplies for, assuming that the side length of the triangular bases is 25 feet and the length of each rectangular face is twice its width.

2. if a a=25 ft, then the height is  (ft)

3. one side of the prism (the roof) is a rectangle with dimensions a and l, so the area of one side is a*l the lateral Area of the roof is 3a*l

4. The total area was the 2 triangular surfaces + the 3 equal lateral rectangular surfaces. Now instead of 3 lateral triangular surfaces, we have 2.

So the total area found previously will be decreased by al

5. so the area now is

6. now a=25 and l=2a=50

Area=

=3041.3 (ft squared)

1. Check picture 1. Let the one side of the triangle be a, drop one perpendicular, CD. Then triangle ADB is a right triangle, with hypothenuse a and one side equal to 1/2a. By the Pythegorean theorem, as shown in the picture, the height is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a

2. if a a=25 ft, then the height is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} *25= \frac{1.732}{2}*25= 21. 7 (ft)

3. consider picture 2. Let the length of the roof be l feet.

one side of the prism (the roof) is a rectangle with dimensions a and l, so the area of one side is a*l
the lateral Area of the roof is 3a*l

the area of the equilateral surfaces is 2*( \frac{1}{2} *a* \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}a )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2}

so the total area of the roof is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +3al

4. The total area was the 2 triangular surfaces + the 3 equal lateral rectangular surfaces. Now instead of 3 lateral triangular surfaces, we have 2.
So the total area found previously will be decreased by al


5. so the area now is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +2al

6. now a=25 and l=2a=50

Area=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +2al=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} * 25^{2}+2*25*50=25 ^{2}  (\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} +4)=625*4.866

=3041.3 (ft squared)

The graph shows the cost of some taxi journeys<br><br> work out a formula for c in terms of n
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

c=\frac{3}{5}(n)+2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

c -----> the cost of some taxi journeys

n ----> the number of miles

we know that

The graph is a line

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

c=m(n)+b

where

m is the slope

b is the c-intercept (value of c when the value of n is equal to zero)

Observing the graph  we have the points

(0,2.5), (5,5.5)

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{c2-c1}{n2-n1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{5.5-2.5}{5-0}

m=\frac{3}{5}

we have

b=2.5 -----> because the point (0,2.5) is the c-intercept

substitute in the equation of slope-intercept form

c=\frac{3}{5}(n)+2.5

3x^2-192=0
3x^2=192
x^2=\frac{192}{3}
x=\pm \sqrt{64}
x=\pm 8

x=-8 and x=8 are the solutions

If 1/p+q=r and p≠-q, what is p in terms of r and q?
bekas [8.4K]

p = (1/r) - q

In order to find this, follow the order of operations to get the answer.

1/p+q = r ----> Multiply both sides by p+q

1 = r(p + q) -----> Divide by r

1/r = p + q -----> subtract q from both sides

(1/r) - q = p
