Answer:

£59.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem, we must:

  1. Solve for the length of the fence (aka height)
  2. Find the area of the lawn (trapezoid)
  3. Find the number of cans needed
  4. Find the price of all the cans

Area of a trapezoid, and why the formula works:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides known as bases. The other two sides are known as the legs.

To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:

\frac{B_1 + B_2}{2}* h

This works because if we used the formula, we would be duplicating the trapezoid to form a rectangle with a side length of B1 + B2, and a height of h. Since the trapezoid is half of that, we divide by 2.

Solve for height:

The height is unknown but can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The difference between the bases is the length of the bottom leg of the right triangle, and 17 is the hypotenuse.

Difference = 20 - 12 = 8

Hypotenuse = 17

  • 8² + fence² = 17²
  • 64 + fence² = 289
  • 225 = fence²
  • fence = 15

The height is 15

Solve for area:

Now we can solve for the area.

  • A = \frac{B_1 + B_2}{2} * h
  • A = \frac{12 + 20}{2} * 15
  • A = \frac{32}{2} * 15
  • A = 16 * 15 = 240

The area is 240

Cans:

The area of the lawn is 240 square meters. Each can cover 100 square meters.

  • 240 ÷ 100 = 2.4

Since we can't use part of a can, we round up to three whole cans.

The price of 3 cans :

  • 3 * 19.75
  • 59.25

£59.25

The Pythagorean Theorem:

The Pythagorean theorem is a very common geometry formula used to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, given the lengths of the two other bases.

The formula is : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

  • a is a leg
  • b is a leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

find the slope of the curve y=x^2-2x-5 at the point P(2,5) by finding the limit of secant slopes through point P
Fynjy0 [20]

The point (2, 5) is not on the curve; probably you meant to say (2, -5)?

Consider an arbitrary point Q on the curve to the right of P, (t,y(t))=(t,t^2-2t-5), where t>2. The slope of the secant line through P and Q is given by the difference quotient,

\dfrac{(t^2-2t-5)-(-5)}{t-2}=\dfrac{t^2-2t}{t-2}=\dfrac{t(t-2)}{t-2}=t

where we are allowed to simplify because t\neq2.

Then the equation of the secant line is

y-(-5)=t(x-2)\implies y=t(x-2)-5

Taking the limit as t\to2, we have

\displaystyle\lim_{t\to2}t(x-2)-5=2(x-2)-5=2x-9

so the slope of the line tangent to the curve at P as slope 2.

- - -

We can verify this with differentiation. Taking the derivative, we get

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-2

and at x=2, we get a slope of 2(2)-2=2, as expected.

If light travels at 3. 108 m/s and its frequency is 6. 1015 Hz, then its wavelength is:
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

5 * 10^{-8} m

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of light is 3 * 10^8 m/s and its frequency is 6 * 10^{15} Hz.

The speed of light is given as:

c = λ * f

where λ = wavelength of light

f = frequency of light

Therefore, the wavelength is given as:

λ = c / f

=> λ = \frac{3 * 10^8}{6 * 10^{15}}

=> λ = 5 * 10^{-8} m

The wavelength of the light is 5 * 10^{-8} m

Sketch a graph of f(x) = 2 + x​
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

i don't have any paper by me but it would be the line starting on 2 on the Y axis (line that goes up and down) and then going diagonal by one square (essentially up one unit and right one unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

2+x is basically x+2

since x is by itself in slope form is represents 1/1 as a fraction, and in slope form 2 represents the Y axis

did my best to explain sorry hope this helped!!
