In the figure, BC is a support for the roof of a garage. What is the length of BC?

Mathematics

Sonbull [250]3 years ago

Answer:

Bc = √63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the length of BC

As we can see, there is a right angled triangle ABC, with 12ft being the hypotenuse and 9 ft the other side

So we want to get the third leg which is BC

we can use the Pythagoras’ theorem here

And that states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

let the missing length be x

12^2 = x^2 + 9^2

144 = x^2 + 81

x^2 = 144-81

x^2 = 63

x = √63 ft

For this case we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find "x". Taking the rectangle triangle of base 5 we have:

x = \sqrt {11 ^ 2-5 ^ 2}\\x = \sqrt {121-25}\\x = \sqrt {96}\\\x = \sqrt {4 ^ 2 * 6}

By definition of power properties we have:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So:

x = 4 \sqrt {6}

Answer:

x = 4 \sqrt {6}

Find m∠DBC.<br> What is the m∠DBC?<br><br> m∠DBC = ? °
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

∠DBC=120

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+(x+90)=180

2x+x+90=180

3x+90=180

3x=180-90

3x=90

x=90/3

x=30

blug x in to ∠DBC

∠DBC=30+90=120

You need to create a fenced off region of land for cattle to graze. The grazing area must be a total of 500 square feet, surroun
KATRIN_1 [288]
<h3>Given</h3>

A regular polygon with area 500 ft² and apothem 10 ft

Cost of fence is $7.95 per ft

<h3>Find</h3>

Part III The cost of fence around an area scaled to 60 times the size

<h3>Solution</h3>

You don't want to think too much about this, because if you do, you find the regular polygon has 3.087 sides. The closest approximation, an equilateral triangle, will have an area of 519.6 ft² for an apothem of 10 ft.

For similar shapes of scale factor "s", the larger shape will have an area of s² times that of the smaller one. Here, it appears the area scale factor s² is 60, so the linear scale factor is

... s² = 60

... s = √60 ≈ 7.7460

The perimeter fence of the 500 ft² area is presumed to be 100 ft long (twice the area of the polygon divided by the apothem—found in Part I), so the perimeter fence of the industrial farm is ...

... (100 ft)×7.7460 = 774.60 ft

and the cost to construct it is

... ($7.95/ft)×(774.60 ft) ≈ $6158
