Answer:

Corroponding side lengths are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles may have the same areas, but the sides might be different or in different spots than each other. The same goes for perimeter, therefore it doesn't mean that they are congruent. If two triangles had the same angle measures, it could still have any size side lengths. When corrosponding side lengths are equal, they have the same angles as well, so they are only congruent in this example.

Hope this helps :)

If x = a cosθ and y = b sinθ , find second derivative

Olin [163]

I'm guessing the second derivative is for y with respect to x, i.e.

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}$

Compute the first derivative. By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}$

We have

$y=b\sin\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}=b\cos\theta$

$x=a\cos\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}=-a\sin\theta$

and so

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{b\cos\theta}{-a\sin\theta}=-\dfrac ba\cot\theta$

Now compute the second derivative. Notice that $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ is a function of $\theta$ ; so denote it by $f(\theta)$ . Then

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}$

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}$

We have

$f=-\dfrac ba\cot\theta\implies\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm d\theta}=\dfrac ba\csc^2\theta$

and so the second derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\frac ba\csc^2\theta}{-a\sin\theta}=-\dfrac b{a^2}\csc^3\theta$

What is the surface area of the cube

madam [21]

There are six faces on the cube, each with a surface area of (4.5 m)^2 = 20.25 m^2. They add up to the amount given by the first selection.

Each child in the Smith family was given an orange cut into 8 equal sections. Each child ate 5/8 of the orange. After combining

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.
