Answer:

(x, y) = (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

LP = x

MP = 2y+3

NP = y+3

KP = 3x -8

KP = MP, LP = NP

Find:

x, y

Solution:

The given relations between the segment lengths let us write two equations:

KP = MP

3x -8 = 2y +3 ⇒ 3x -2y -11 = 0 [eq1]

LP = NP

x = y +3 ⇒ x -y -3 = 0 [eq2]

Subtracting 3 times [eq2] from [eq1] gives ...

(3x -2y -11) -3(x -y -3) = 0

y -2 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify

y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . add 2

Substituting this value into [eq2] gives ...

x = 2 + 3 = 5

The values of x and y are ...

x = 5, y = 2

Find the area of the rhombus

fenix001 [56]

Check the picture below.

since in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, thus EC = EA.

now, the rhombus is simply 4 congruent triangles, we know the base and height of one of them, thus

$\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh~~ \begin{cases} b=8\\ h=15 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(8)(15)\implies A=60 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of all 4 triangles}}{4(60)\implies 240}$

What is the volume of the cone with radius 4 ft and height 10 ft? Round to the nearest cubic foot.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D) 168 ft3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a cone is V=π $r^{2}$ $\frac{h}{3}$ .

We need to plug in the radius, 4, and the height, 10, into this equation.

V=π $(4)^{2}$ $\frac{10}{3}$

V=π16 $\frac{10}{3}$

V=π53.33

V=167.55

If we round up to the nearest whole number, we get 168 $ft^{3}$ . Therefore, the correct answer is D) 168 ft3.

I hope I helped!
