The areas of two square fields are respectively 256 and 625 sq.m. find the ratio of their sides

1 answer:

4 0

We know that
area of the square=b²-------> b=√area
where
b is the side length of the square

for the smaller square
area=256 m²
b=√256-------> b=16 m

for the larger square
area=625 m²
b=√625-----> b=25 m

the ratio of their sides is 16/25

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (4-0)/(-2-3) = 4/-5 = -4/5

y = (-4/5)x + c

When x = 3, y = 0

0 = (-4/5)(3) + c

c = 12/5

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

5y = -x + 12

5y + x = 12

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm2/m

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The base is reducing at a rate of 3.4cm per min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The Height of the Triangle, h

Area of the triangle = A

Area of a Triangle, $A= \frac{1}{2}bh$

When $A=190 cm^2, h=10cm$

$190= \frac{1}{2}*b*10\\b=38cm$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}h\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}b\frac{dh}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt}=1 cm/min, \frac{dA}{dt}=2cm^2/min,$

$2=\frac{1}{2}*10*\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}*38*1\\2=5\frac{db}{dt}+19\\2-19=5\frac{db}{dt}\\-17=5\frac{db}{dt}\\\frac{db}{dt}=-\frac{17}{5} =-3.4 cm/min$
