<h3>Answer:  9 units</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

For now, focus on triangle ABD. This is a right triangle due to BD being an altitude.

Use the pythagorean theorem to find that...

(AD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (AB)^2

(1)^2 + (BD)^2 = (3)^2

1 + (BD)^2 = 9

(BD)^2 = 9-1

(BD)^2 = 8

Normally we would isolate BD itself, but I'll stop short and use that last line instead.

------------------

The triangles ABD and BCD are similar triangles (we can prove this using the AA similarity theorem).

Since we have similar triangles, we can form the proportion shown below

AD/BD = BD/CD

This cross multiplies to

AD*CD = (BD)^2

We know that AD = 1 and (BD)^2 = 8, so,

AD*CD = (BD)^2

1*CD = 8

CD = 8

This then means,

x = CD+DA

x = 8+1

x = 9

AC is 9 units long.

Tess created a Pythagorean triple of (24, 32, 40) by multiplying the known Pythagorean triple 3, 4, and 5 by 8. Is Tess correct?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

(24, 32, 40) is a Pythagorean triplet.

Option A) Yes, as long as each number in the Pythagorean triple is multiplied by the same whole number.                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Pythagorean triplet: (3,4,5)

New Pythagorean triplet obtained = (24, 32, 40)

Pythagoras theorem:

For a right angles triangle the sum of square of sides of triangle is equal to the square of hypotenuse of triangle.

Verification:

24^2 + 32^2\\=576 + 1024\\=1600\\=40^2

Yes, Tessa is correct.

(24, 32, 40) is a Pythagorean triplet.

Pythagorean triple be created using multiplies of a known Pythagorean triple

Option A) Yes, as long as each number in the Pythagorean triple is multiplied by the same whole number.

During which time period does Landon's elevation change the fastest? Explain how you know?
bogdanovich [222]
<h3>1. How many inches per minute does London's elevation change between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. </h3>

The question actually asks for the slope of the line that stands for the points (4,3) \ and \ (8,6) why? because the questions tells us that London's elevation changes between 4 minutes and 8 minutes here. Hence, to find the slope of this line we have to use the following formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{6-3}{8-4}=0.75in/min

<em>So London's elevation changes 0.75 inches per minute</em>

<em></em>

<h3>2. During which time period does London's elevation change the fastest?</h3>

The greater the absolute value of the slope of the line the faster London's elevation changes. Since this is a Piecewise function, we must analyze each period.

  • FIRST:

→ Between 0 minutes and 4 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 10 minutes and 14 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 18 minutes and 22 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

So the solution is not in these parts of the function.

  • SECOND:

→ Between 4 minutes and 10 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

In the previous item we calculated the slope between 4 and 8 minutes that is the same slope between 4 and 8 minutes and equals 0.75.

→ Between 14 minutes and 18 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

Let's take two points here, say, (16,5) \ and \ (18,3)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(16,5) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(18,3) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{3-5}{18-16}=-1 in/min

As you can see, the absolute value here is 1 that is greater than 0.75.

<em>In conclusion, London's elevation changes the fastest between 14 and 18 minutes</em>

Can somebody help me with this plz?!?
fomenos

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is 60 degrees and a whole circle has a total of 360 degrees, of that makes sense. So if you do 360/60, you get 6. This tells you that 6 of those particular arcs fit into this particular circle.

Find the circumference of the circle. You are given the radius, 3. Use the circumference formula, 2(pi)(r). You get 6pi.

6/6 = 1, so the length of that one arc is just p

Hope this helps!.
