In the diagram below, ST is parallel to PQ. If ST is 4 more than PS,SR = 12, and PQ = 15, find the length of PS. Figures are not

Tpy6a [65]

Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

$\frac{SR}{PR}=\frac{RT}{RQ}=\frac{TS}{QP}$

Furthermore,

$PS=PR-RS$

Finding PR and RS,

$\begin{gathered} ST=4+PS \\ SR=12 \\ PQ=15 \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{TS}{15}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PS+12}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \end{gathered}$

Solving for PS,

$\begin{gathered} 12\cdot15=(PS+12)(PS+4) \\ \Rightarrow180=PS^2+16PS+48 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}$

And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.

Hence, the answer is PS=6

alexandrea and imani each think of a number. alexandras number is 8 more than Imanis number. the sum of two numbers is 50. what

juin [17]

Alexandera=a
imani=i

a is 8 more than i or
a=8+i

the sum of the 2 numbers is 50 or
a+i=50

a=8+i
so subsitute 8+i for a in a+i=50
8+i+i=50
8+2i=50
subtract 8 from both sides
2i=42
divide both sides by 2
i=21

subsiutte into a=8+i

a=8+21
a=29

a=29
i=21

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 82 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A) Maximum error = 170.32 cm³

B)Relative error = 0.0575

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Formula for circumference is: C = 2πr

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dC/dr = 2π

r is small, so we can write;

ΔC/Δr = 2π

So, Δr = ΔC/2π

We are told that ΔC = 0.5.

Thus; Δr = 0.5/2π = 0.25/π

Now, formula for Volume of a sphere is;

V(r) = (4/3)πr³

Differentiating with respect to r, we have;

dV/dr = 4πr²

Again, r is small, so we can write;

ΔS/Δr = 4πr²

ΔV = 4πr² × Δr

Rewriting, we have;

ΔV = ((2πr)²/π) × Δr

Since C = 2πr, we now have;

ΔV = (C²/π)Δr

ΔV will be maximum when Δr is maximum

Thus, ΔV = (C²/π) × 0.25/π

C = 82 cm

Thus;

ΔV = (82²/π) × 0.25/π

ΔV = 170.32 cm³

B) Formula for relative error = ΔV/V

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)πr³)

Relative error = 170.32/((4/3)C³/8π³)

Relative errror = 170.32/((4/3)82³/8π³)

Relative error = 170.32/2963.744

Relative error = 0.0575
