so is, 480÷2=420
is 240

you want to rescue a kitten stuck in a tree you have a 20 foot ladder and the tree is 18 feet tall how far from the tree should

ExtremeBDS [4]

Using pythagorean theorem. We know the hypotenuse will be 20, c. Either a or b could be 18 is doesn’t matter.
18^2+b^2=20^2
324+b^2=400
-324
b^2=76
Square root 76
You should put the later 2 square roots of 19 away. or 8.72 feet away

A piece of wire 23 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

For maximum area, all of the wire should be used to construct the square.

The minimum total area is obtained when length of the wire is 10m

Step-by-step explanation:

For maximum, we use the whole length

For minimum,

supposed the x length was used for the square,

the length of the side of the square = x/4m

Area = $\frac{x^{2} }{16}$

For the equilateral triangle, the length of the side = $\frac{23 - x}{3}$

Area = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (\frac{23 - x}{3} )^{2}$

Total Area = $\frac{x^{2} }{16}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{36} (23-x)^{2}$

$\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x)\\$

$\frac{d^{2}A }{dx^{2} } = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} > 0$ , therefore it is minimum

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0 \\\\$

$\frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (23 - x) = 0\\$

x = 10.00m

What is the reciprocal of 10/3

RoseWind [281]

Reciprocal is basically just swapping them around, so for 10/3 it's 3/10 and that's your answer!
