A billiard ball is struck by a cue. It travels 100 cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 100 cm into a corner p

ocket. The angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 45 degrees. How far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball?

Answer:

76.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the triangle formed has 2 sides and an included angle ;

Angle, θ = C = 45°

We use cosine rule :

Taking the side to find as c

a = 100 ; b = 100

From cosine rule :

c = sqrt(a² + b² - 2abCosC)

c = sqrt(100² + 100² - 2(100*100)Cos45

c = sqrt(10000 + 10000 - 20000 * 0.7071067)

c = sqrt(20000 - 14142.135)

c = sqrt(5857.865)

c = 76.536690

c = 76.53 cm

A poll asks shoppers at the mall how many cups of water they typically drink in a day. The results of the poll are listed below.

First you find the median, the middle term (if there are an even number of terms it is the average of the middle two terms.)  Since you have 21 terms, odd, you just use the middle term, in this case 8.  The first quartile works the same way, but just on the left half between the start and the median...so the first quartile is 6.

What is the area of the region bounded between the curves y=x and y=sqrt(x)?
erastova [34]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x     .....(1)

y=\sqrt{x}     .... (2)

By solving equation (1) and equation (2)

x = \sqrt{x}

\sqrt{x}\left ( \sqrt{x}-1 \right )=0

\sqrt{x}=0 or \left ( \sqrt{x}-1 \right )=0

x = 0, x = 1

y = 0, y = 1

A = \int_{0}^{1}ydx(curve)-\int_{0}^{1}ydx(line)

A = \int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{x}dx-\int_{0}^{1}xdx

A = \frac{2}{3}[x^\frac{3}{2}]_{0}^{1}-\frac{1}{2}[x^2]_{0}^{1}

A = \frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}

A = \frac{1}{6}

Perpendicular bisectors help you find the centroid; altitudes help find the orthocenter. This is all in a triangle.
