A cardboard sheet is cut in the shape of a triangle, with vertices at (0,0), (20,0), and (3,4) units. the thickness of the sheet

kenny6666 [7]

This problem can be solved in two ways, the long way, or the short way.

1. The long way
We know that the base of the triangle is along the x-axis, and the length of the base is 20.
The centre of mass is located at 2/3 of the distance from vertex (3,4) along the median, which cuts the base at (10,0).
Therefore the centre of mass is located at
x=3+(10-3)*2/3=23/3
y=4/3

2. The short way
It turns out that the centre of mass of a triangle sheet is located at the mean of the coordinates of the three vertices, i.e.
CG=((0+20+3)/3, (0+0+4)/3)=(23/3, 4/3) as before.

Which fraction is equivalent to negative 7 over 8? pls help the first answer gets brainlylest!

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

-21 over 24 should be equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent fractions are simple. To find an equivalent fraction simply multiply the denominator AND the numerator by any natural number other than 1 (a natural number is any number greater than zero, numbers that ARE zero or less AREN'T natural numbers i.e. 0, -1, -2, -3, you get the point)

A person jogged 10 times along the perimeter of a rectangular field at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes. If the

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The area of the rectangular field is 20,000 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of times a person jogged along the rectangular field = 10

Speed of the person jogging = 12 km per hour

Time he/she jogged = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Length of the field = twice its width

2. Find the area of the field in square meters.

Step A: Let's calculate the distance the person jogged

Let's recall the formula of the speed:

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed * Time

Replacing with the values we know:

Distance = 12 * 0.5

Distance = 6 kilometers

Step B: Let's calculate the perimeter of the rectangular field

Distance jogged = ¨Perimeter * 10

6 kilometers = Perimeter * 10

Perimeter = 6/10

Perimeter = 0.6 kilometers = 0.6 * 1,000 = 600 meters

Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * Width

x = Width of the rectangular field

2x = Length of the rectangular field

600 = 2 * 2x + 2 * x

600 = 4x + 2x

600 = 6x

x = 600/6 = 100 meters ⇒ 2x = 200 meters

Step C: Let's calculate the area of the rectangular field

Let's recall the formula of the area of a rectangle:

A = Length * Width

A = 200 * 100

A = 20,000 m² (square meters)

What is the approximate value of b, rounded to the nearest tenth? Use the law of sines to find the answer.

vivado [14]

You can use the Law of Sines for this problem, but what makes it tough at first glance is that they put a step in before you can use it directly. That first step is to get m∠C. When solving a triangle, always get the third angle if you know the other two so that you can use the Law of Sines (or Law of Cosines) more directly.

The sum of the angles of any triangles is 180°. We know the measures of the two other angles. So we subtract them from 180° to find that third angle.

180° - 76° - 66° = 38°

Now we can use the proportion from the picture. Angle B measures 76°, side b is our unknown, Angle C measures 38°, and side c measures 3 units.

sin 76° sin 38°

----------- = -----------

b 3

Cross multiply to find b (the side). We carry out five places in these calculations to get more accuracy.

3 * sin 76° = b * sin 38°

b = 3 * sin 76° 3 * 0.56611 1.69832

--------------- = --------------- = ---------------- = 5.73044

sin 38° 0.29636 0.29636

To the nearest tenth, b - 5.7 units.
