1 The prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases. Use the model you created in question #1 to calculate the height of th

e roof, to the nearest tenth of a foot, if the side lengths each measure 25 feet. In your final answer, include all necessary calculations. You may include a sketch as part of your work.
2 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.

3The 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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, the prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases, one of which is ΔABC. We need to create an equation that models the height of one of the roof's triangular bases in terms of its sides. Let ii be AD.

See the figure attached herewith, ΔABC forms an equilateral triangle, in which AD is the height. So, D will be the mid-point of BC and ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°.

Now, in ΔADB, we have

AD^2=AB^2-BD^2

AD^2=AB^2-(1/2AB^2)^2

AD=√3/4AB^2

we can find the height of any one of the roof's triangular bases.

2.1. 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 Pythagorean theorem, as shown in the picture, the height is √3/2a

2. if a=25 ft, then the height is  √3/2a=√3/2*25=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*(1/2*a*√3/2a)=√3/2a^2  

so the total area of the roof is  

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 √3/2a^2 + 2al  

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

Area= √3/2a^2+2al=√3/2*25^2+2*25*50=25^2(√3/2+4)=625*4.866

=3041.3 (ft squared)

If f(x) = -8 - 5x, what is f(-4)
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

f(- 4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 4) substitute x = - 4 into f(x) , that is

f(- 4) = - 8 - 5(- 4) = - 8 + 20 = 12

What is the solution to the equation below? <br> Vx + 3 = x - 3 <br> A. 3<br> B. 6<br> C. 5<br> D. 4
kherson [118]

Answer:

6

Step 1: Solve Square Root

Vx+3=x-3

x+3=(x-3)^2 (squared both sides)

x+3=x^2-6x+9

x+3-(x^2-6x+9)=0

(-x+1)(x-6)=0 (factor left side of equation)

-x+1=0 or x-6=0

x=1 or x=6

When you plug it in to check

1 (Doesn't Work)

6 (Work)

Therefore, 6 is your solution.

Solve for x.<br> 25x=30<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
irinina [24]
Answer:

x = 750

Explanation:

25x = 30

1. Multiply 25 by 30

25 * 30 = 750

2. Divide 750 by 25

750/25 = 30

3. Divide 750 by 30

750/30 = 25

Therefore, x = 750
