What are the coordinates of point G ,which divides DE un the ratio 2:3?​

Mathematics

Answer:

(5, 7.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to solve this problem, but all of them involve similar triangles and ratios.

See the attached image.

The horizontal distance between points D and E is 11 - 1 = 10.  If a segment 10 units long is divided in the ratio 2:3 (as shown by the two smaller segments of length  a  and  b), then

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{2}{2+3}\\\frac{a}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

"Cross-multiply" to get

5a = 20

a = 4

To get the x-coordinate of point G, add 4 to 1, the x-coordinate of D.

The x-coordinate of G is 1 + 4 = 5.

The same idea can be used on the second coordinate of G.

The vertical distance from D to E is 15 - 3 = 12.

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{2}{2+3}\\\frac{a}{12}=\frac{2}{5}

5a = 24

a = 24/5 = 4.8

The y=coordinate of G is 3 + 4.8 = 7.8

If 1900 square centimeters of material are available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Volume = 7969 cubic centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each side of the base of the box  be A and the height of the box be H.

Area of material required to make the box  is equal to  is A^2 + 4*A*H.

A^2 + 4*A*H = 1900

 Rearranging the above equation, we get -  

`H = \frac{(1900 - A^2)}{(4*A)}

Volume of box is equal to product of base area of box and the height of the box -  

V = A*A* H

Substituting the given area we get -

\frac{A^2*(1900 - A^2)}{4A} = \frac{(1900*A - A^3)}{4}

For maximum volume

\frac{dV}{dA} =0

\frac{ 1900}{4} - \frac{3*A^2}{4} = 0

A^2 = \frac{1900}{3}

Volume of the box

= \frac{\frac{1900}{3}*(1900 - \frac{1900}{3}) }{4 * \sqrt{\frac{1900}{3} } }

= 7969 cubic centimeter
