A traffic signal board, indicating ‘SCHOOL AHEAD’, is an equilateral triangle with side a. Find the area of the signal board, using Heron’s formula.If its perimeter is 180 cm, what will be the area of the signal board?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]900\sqrt{3}\:\mathrm{cm^2}\text{ or }\approx 1,558.85\:\mathrm{cm^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula can be used to find the area of any triangle and is given by:

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are three sides of the triangle and [tex]s[/tex] is the semi-perimeter ([tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]).

By definition, all three sides and angles of an equilateral triangle are equal. Therefore, if the total perimeter is 180 cm, each side must have a length of [tex]180\div 3=60\text{ cm}[/tex].

The semi-perimeter is therefore:

[tex]s=\frac{60+60+60}{2}=90\text{ cm}[/tex]

Substitute values into Heron's formula to get:

[tex]A=\sqrt{90(90-60)(90-60)(90-60)},\\A=\sqrt{90\cdot 30\cdot30\cdot 30},\\A=\sqrt{2,430,000},\\A=\boxed{900\sqrt{3} \:\mathrm{cm^2}}\approx \boxed{1,558.85\:\mathrm{cm^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the triangles in the given questions, the following can be deduced:

5. The scale factor = [tex]\frac{15}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex] ≠ [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

So that;

QR is similar to UT, PR is similar to US, but PQ is NOT similar to TS.

Thus, the triangles are NOT similar.

6. Scale factor = [tex]\frac{15}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex]

                         = 1.5

So that;

QR is similar to UT, PR is similar to US, but PQ is similar to TS.

Thus, the triangles are similar by Side-Side-Side (SSS).

7. Here, an exact scale factor can not be determined. Thus, the triangles are NOT similar.

Captain Liz is going to load her cruise ship with bags of sugar. She has room for 19 bags of sugar. She has allotted for 121 pounds of sugar on her ship. She can choose from 7-pound bags (the variable s) or 10-pound bags (the variable p). Which equations would be a constraint to Captain Liz maximizing her sugar load?

Correct answers with explanations will earn you brainliest :)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex] and [tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we use constraints given by the problem to set up two equations:

We can only have a total of 19 bags, so:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex]

Then, we want to maximize her sugar load. Using the info on the weight of each bag and the max carrying capacity:

[tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sugar from 7 pound bags be represented by = s

And let the sugar from 10 pound bags be represented by = p

As given, Captain Liz has room for 19 bags of sugar.

This becomes [tex]s+p=19[/tex]      .......(1)

Also given is , she has room for 19 bags of sugar, so equation becomes:

[tex]7s+10p=121[/tex]     ............(2)

Hence, these are the correct equations.

Answers

Answer:

(4,4)

y = 4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to input y = 1/2x + 2 into 4x - 2y = 8.

4x - 2 (1/2x + 2) = 8 <-- Then solve

4x - 1x + -4 = 8

3x - 4 = 8

    +4   +4

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

3x    =    12

3             3

x = 4

Now we need to use x and apply it to find y.

y = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2(4) + 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

Now to graph go on the x axis (horizontal axis) and go to 4, then up 4 on the y axis.

The median of a trapezoid equals one half of the sum of the bases

AC is a median and EB and DF are the bases.

hence AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

We are given that EB = 13 and that AC = 19. And we need to find DF

To do so we plug in what we are given and solve for DF

AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

AC = 19, EB = 13

19 = 1/2(13 + DF)

Now solve for DF

* Multiply both sides by 2*

19 * 2 = 38

1/2(13 + DF) * 2 ( the 1/2 and 2 cancel out and we're left with 13 + DF )

We then have 38 = 13 + DF

* Subtract 13 from both sides *

38 - 13 = 13 - 13 + DF

We get that DF = 25

Oliver invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 7 1/2 % compounded continuously. Carson invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 7 3/8% compounded annually. To the nearest of a hundredth of a year, how much longer would it take for Carson's money to double than for Oliver's money to double?

Answers

Answer:

0.50 or about half a year longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an equation to model bot investments.

Oliver invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 7.5% compounded continuously.

Recall that continuous compound is given by the equation:

[tex]A = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

Where A is the amount afterwards, P is the principal amount, r is the rate, and t is the time in years.

Since the initial investment is $970 at a rate of 7.5%:

[tex]A = 970e^{0.075t}[/tex]

Carson invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 7.375% compounded annually.

Recall that compound interest is given by the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle A = P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Where A is the amount afterwards, P is the principal amount, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per year, and t is the time in years.

Since the initial investment is $970 at a rate of 7.375% compounded annually:

[tex]\displaystyle A = 970\left(1+\frac{0.07375}{1}\right)^{(1)t}=970(1.07375)^t[/tex]

When Oliver's money doubles, he will have $1,940 afterwards. Hence:

[tex]1940= 970e^{0.075t}[/tex]

Solve for t:

[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{0.075t}[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\ln\left (2\right) = \ln\left(e^{0.075t}\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\ln(2) = 0.075t\Rightarrow \displaystyle t = \frac{\ln(2)}{0.075}\text{ years}[/tex]

When Carson's money doubles, he will have $1,940 afterwards. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle 1940=970(1.07375)^t[/tex]

Solve for t:

[tex]2=(1.07375)^t[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\ln(2)=\ln\left((1.07375)^t\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\ln(2)=t\ln\left((1.07375)\right)[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{\ln(2)}{\ln(1.07375)}[/tex]

Then it will take Carson's money:

[tex]\displaystyle \Delta t = \frac{\ln(2)}{\ln(1.07375)}-\frac{\ln(2)}{0.075}=0.4991\approx 0.50[/tex]

About 0.50 or half a year longer to double than Oliver's money.
