What Theorem Did We Prove Using Similar Right Triangles.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagoras's theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given drawing, there are three right triangles (two smaller triangles formed inside one right triangle), which are;

1) The smallest right triangle with side lengths 'b', 'f', and 'd'

2) The intermediate right triangle with side lengths 'f', 'a' and 'c - d'

3) The right triangle ΔABC containing the other two with side lengths, 'a', 'b', 'c'

By trigonometric ratio we have;

1/cos(B) = a/(c - d) = c/a

By cross multiplication, we get

a² = c² - c·d

Similarly, we have;

The vertex angle for the small right triangle at C = ∠B

1/sin(B) = b/d = c/b

∴ b² = c·d

Therefore, adding the values of 'a²', and 'b²' together, we get;

a² + b² = c² - c·d + c·d = c²

Therefore;

a² + b² = c² which is Pythagoras's theorem.

I have 3 red markers, 3 blue markers, and 3 green markers. I take the caps off and put on the caps randomly. Find the expected number of markers that have the same color cap and marker.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of markers that have the same color cap and marker is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every marker has a [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] chance to get the same color cap, because there are always 3 same caps, and 9 total caps. By linearity of expectation, the expected number of markers that have the same color cap and marker is equal to the sum of all marker's individual 'contribution' to the same color cap count. So the expected value is [tex]9 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 3[/tex], precisely what we were after.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

By running the following Python code, we can safely assume the answer to be 3:

---------------------

import random

def cap_throw():

   cap_list = ['R', 'R', 'R', 'G', 'G', 'G', 'B', 'B', 'B']

   random_cap_list = cap_list[:]

   random.shuffle(random_cap_list)

   

   counter = 0

   

   for i in range(len((cap_list))):

       if cap_list[i] == random_cap_list[i]:

           counter += 1

   

   return counter

results_list = []

for i in range(10 ** 6):

   results_list.append(cap_throw())

print(sum(results_list) / len(results_list))

(iii) Find the time taken for the return journey.

Answers

Answer:

i. x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 ii. x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h iii. 5.01 h

Step-by-step explanation:

i. If he drove at an average speed of x km/h on his journey from City P to City Q formulate an equation in x and show that it reduces to x2 + 7x – 16 800 = 0.

For the first journey from City P to City Q, with Mr Lee moving at an average speed of x km/h, he reaches there in time, t and covers the distance, d = 600 km

So, xt = 600 (1)

On his return journey from City Q to CIty P, his average speed increases by 7 km/h, so it is (x + 7)km/h and his time is 15 minutes less than his first journey. 15 min = 15/60 h = 0.25 h, we have that his time for the journey is (t - 0.25) h. Since the distance covered is the same d = 600 km,

We have (x + 7)(t - 0.25) = 600  (2)

Expanding the brackets, we have

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 0.25(7) = 600

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 1.75 = 600

From (1) t = 600/x and xt = 600

Substituting these into the equation, we have

600 - 0.25x + 7(600/x) - 1.75 = 600

simplifying

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 600 - 600

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 0

multiplying through by x, we have

-0.25x² + 4200 - 1.75x = 0

dividing through by -0.25, we have

-0.25x²/-0.25 + 4200/-0.25 - 1.75x/-0.25 = 0

x² - 16800 + 7x = 0

re-arranging, we have

x² + 7x - 16800 = 0

ii. Solve the equation x² + 7x - 16 800 = 0, giving both your answers correct to  2 decimal places.

Using the quadratic formula, we solve x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 for x

So, [tex]x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{7^{2} - 4 X 1 X -16800} }{2 X 1}\\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{49 + 67200} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{67249} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/- 259.32}{2} \\x = \frac{-7 + 259.32}{2} or x = \frac{-7 - 259.32}{2} \\x = 252.32/2 or x= -266.32/2\\x = 126.16 km/hor x = -133.16 km/h[/tex]

So, x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h

iii. Find the time taken for the return journey

The time taken for the return journey is t' = t + 0.25. Now. t = 600/x

Since x cannot be negative, we use x = 126.16 km/h.

So, t = 600/x = 600/126.16 = 4.76 h

t' = t + 0.25

t' = 4.76 + 0.25

t' = 5.01 h

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the fifth power of the speed of the river. A certain river normally flows at
a speed of 4 miles per hour. What must its speed be in order to transport particles that are 12 times as massive as usual? Round your
answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

6.58 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass and speed be represented by m and s respectively. So that,

m [tex]\alpha[/tex] [tex]s^{5}[/tex]

m = k[tex]s^{5}[/tex]

where k is the constant of proportionality.

For a certain river, speed = 4 miles per hour.

m = k [tex](4)^{5}[/tex]

m = 1024k ............ 1

In order to transport particles that are 12 times as massive as usual;

12m = k[tex]s^{5}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{ks^{5} }{12}[/tex] ............. 2

Thus,

[tex]\frac{ks^{5} }{12}[/tex] = 1024 k

[tex]s^{5}[/tex] = 12 x 1024

   = 12288

[tex]s^{5}[/tex] 12288

s = [tex]\sqrt[5]{12288}[/tex]

  = 6.5750

s = 6.58 miles per hour

Therefore, its speed must be approximately 6.58 miles per hour.

Samantha wants to buy a house and plans to rent the apartment located in the basement for extra income. The house has a purchase price of $200,000 and she will make a 10% down payment. Samantha has qualified for a 30 year mortgage with a fixed rate of 5.875%. Approximately how much rent should she charge for the apartment in order to cover her monthly mortgage payment if she only wants to spend $500 a month of her own money?

Answers

Answer:

$567.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Purchase price = $200,000

Number of years = 30

Rate = 5.875%

Down payment = 10%

Hence, mortgage amount :

Purchase price - down payment

200,000 - (0.1 * 200000)

200,000 - 20,000

= $180,000

Using a mortgage calculator :

Mortgage amount = 180,000

Mortgage term = 30 years

Interest = 5.875%

Monthly payment will be : $1067.07

Hence, if she only wants to $500 from her own money, A rent of ($1067.07 - $500) = $567.07 will need to be charged

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total amount is shown below:

Let us assume the natasha be 4x

And, the krutika be 3x

Now as per the situation

4x = 3x + £7

x = £7

For natasha = 4(7) = 28

For krutika = 3(7) = 21

A total of $5000 is invested part of 6% and the remainder at 12% how much is invested at each rate if the annual interest is $480

Answers

Answer:

for 12% it would be $3,000

And, for 6% it would be $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount invested at each rate is shown below:

Let us assume the amount invested at 12% be x

So, the $5,000 - x be invested at 6%

The total interest earned is $480

So the equation would be

0.12x + 0.06($5,000 - x)  = $480

0.12x + $300 - 0.06x = $480

0.06x = $80

x = $3,000

So for 12% it would be $3,000

And, for 6% it would be $2,000
