Answer:

Length = 50 feet

Width = 160 feet

Explanation:

I'm assuming the flagpole is not included in this question.

w

=

w

i

d

t

h

l

=

≤

n

>

h

The length compared to the width is:

w

=

l

+

110

<-- equation 1

The formula for perimeter:

P

=

2

w

+

2

l

420

=

2

w

+

2

l

<-- equation 2

Sub the first equation into the second.

420

=

2

(

l

+

110

)

+

2

l

Now you can solve for

l

algebraically.

420

=

2

l

+

220

+

2

l

4

l

=

200

l

=

50

Sub the found length into the first equation to find the length.

w

=

(

50

)

+

110

w

=

160

Therefore the flag is 50 feet long and 160 feet wide.

Answer:

The \ area \ of \ the \ figure = 4\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \pi + 18 \ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the figure is made up of portion of a square and a semicircle, we have;

BC ≅ AB = 6 cm

The area of semicircle BC with radius BC/2 = 3 is 1/2×π×r² = 1/2×π×3² = 4.5·π cm²

Triangle ABC = 1/2 × Area of square  from which ABC is cut

The area of triangle ABC = 1/2×Base ×Height = 1/2×AB×BC = 1/2×6×6 = 18 cm²

The area of the figure = The area of semicircle BC + The area of triangle ABC

The area of the figure = 4.5·π cm² + 18 cm² = \dfrac{9 \cdot \pi +36}{2} \ cm^2.

Cassidy's diving platform is 6 ft above the water. One of her dives can
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Before coming back up to the surface the maximum depth, Cassidy went was 6.25 ft. below the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Cassidy's diving platform above the water = 6 ft.

The equation that models her dive is d = x² - 7·x + 6

Where;

d = Her vertical position or distance from the water surface

x = Here horizontal distance from the platform

At Cassidy's maximum depth, we have;

dd/dx = d(x² - 7·x + 6)/dx = 2·x - 7 = 0

x = 7/2 = 3.5

∴ At Cassidy's maximum depth, x = 3.5 ft.

The maximum depth, d_{max} = d(3.5) = 3.5² - 7 × 3.5 + 6 = -6.25

The maximum depth, Cassidy went before coming back up to the surface = d_{max} = -6.25 ft = 6.25 ft. below the surface of the water.

A segment with endpoints A (4, 2) and C (1, 5) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 1:3 ratio. Find B.
Furkat [3]

The coordinates of point B that divides the line in the ratio 1:3 is: ( C )(3.25, 2.75)

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment is formed by joining two points by a straight line.

Analysis:

The coordinates of point B(x,y) are gotten by the formula

x = \frac{px2 + qx1}{p+q}

y = \frac{py2 + qy1}{p + q}

where, x1 and y1 are coordinates of A and x2 and y2 are coordinates of B

are the values of the ratio p:q.

x1 = 4, x2 = 1 y1 = 5,  y2 = 2, p = 1, q = 3

x = \frac{(1 x 1) + (3 x 4)}{1 + 3} = 3.25

y = \frac{(1 x 5) + ( 3 x 2)}{1+3} = 2.75

coordinates of B are ( 3.25, 2.75)

In conclusion, the coordinates of point B are (3.25, 2.75)
