Darnell is trying to understand the Pythagorean Theorem by drawing a few triangles. He found that 1² + 1² = (√2)² is accurate. W

hich statement is true about Darnell’s triangle?
A. The triangle is not a right triangle because the lengths of its sides measure the same.

B. The triangle is not a right triangle because the hypotenuse is shorter that the lengths of its sides.

C. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and √2 with a hypotenuse of 1.

D. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and 1 with a hypotenuse of √2.

Answer:

D. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and 1 with a hypotenuse of √2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is modeled by a² + b² = c².

c represents the hypotenuse and a and b represent the other two sides.

The Pythagorean Theorem can only be applied to right triangles.

Your friend is wrapping 1 meter of twine around a spool with a 2-centimeter diameter. The spool is thin and accommodates only on
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a) 6 complete times

b) 19.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

In every turn, the diameter of the twine increases 1 cm.

After the first turn, there is a total wrapped of 3.14*2=6.3 cm.

After the second turn, we have wrapped 6.3+3.14*(2+1)=15.7 cm.

If we continue with these algorithm, we have that after the 6th turn we have 84.8 cm wrapped. <em>This is the last complete turn.</em>

T = 0 D = 2 cm. Wrapped = 6.3 cm. Total wrapped = 6.3 cm.

T = 1         D = 3 cm. Wrapped = 9.4 cm. Total wrapped = 15.7 cm.

T = 2 D = 4 cm. Wrapped = 12.6 cm. Total wrapped = 28.3 cm.

T = 3 D = 5 cm. Wrapped = 15.7 cm. Total wrapped = 44 cm.

T = 4 D = 6 cm. Wrapped = 18.8 cm. Total wrapped = 62.8 cm.

T = 5 D = 7 cm. Wrapped = 22.0 cm. Total wrapped = 84.8 cm.

T = 6 D = 8 cm. Wrapped = 25.1 cm. Total wrapped = 110 cm.

There are left (100-84.8) = 15.2 cm to wrap around the twine, which has a 25.1 cm diameter by now.

The perimeter of the twine is 3.14*25.1=78.8 cm.

The percentage of a complete circle that the last wrapping of the twine will make is:

P = 15.2/78.8 = 0.193 = 19.3%

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by
Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

A = wl

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

l = 2w + 3, A = 9

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

w(2w+3) = 9

2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0

Thus a quadratic equation with a = 2, b = 3, c = -9

Then

\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81

w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5

w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

An oil company fills 1 over 12 of a tank in 1 over 3 hour. At this rate, which expression can be used to determine how long will
Leto [7]
Don't let fractions fool you.

\frac{1}{12} of a tank in \frac{1}{3} an hour is equal to:
1/12 of a tank in 20 minutes.

Thus we know in an hour, an oil company can fill 3/12 of a tank (60 minutes in an hour).

3 x 4 = 12, and 12/12 = 1(a whole tank), so we multiply 1 (hour) by 4.

Our answer is that it takes 4 hours to fill a tank.
