Point E lies within rectangle ABCD. If AE = 6, BE = 7, and CE = 8, what is the length of DE?
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{51}[/tex] units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Point E is inside a rectangle ABCD.
Please refer to the attached image for the given statement and dimensions.
Given that:
Sides AE = 6 units
BE = 7 units and
CE = 8 units
To find:
DE = ?
Solution:
For a point E inside the rectangle the following property hold true:
[tex]AE^2+CE^2=BE^2+DE^2[/tex]
Putting the given values to find the value of DE:
[tex]6^2+8^2=7^2+DE^2\\\Rightarrow 26+64=49+DE^2\\\Rightarrow DE^2=100-49\\\Rightarrow DE^2=51\\\Rightarrow \bold{DE = \sqrt{51}\ units}[/tex]

a. $2,761.21
b. $3,583.83
c. $3,523.83
d. $3,722.47
Answers
Answer:
C). $3523.83
Step-by-step explanation:
loan of principles p= $9,300,
at rate R= 12 1 /8 % interest
Rate R = 12.125%
for duration year T = 37.5 months
T= 37.5/12 = 3.125 years
Interest I=PRT/100
Interest I =( 9300*12.125*3.125)/100
Interest I = (352382.8125)/100
Interest I = 3523.83
Interest I= $3523.83
A line runs tangent to a circle at the point (4, 2). The line runs through the origin. Find the slope of the tangent line.
Answers
Answer:
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 1 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Point A = (4,2)
Origin point = (0,0)
Find:
Slope of the tangent line (m)
Computation:
Slope of the tangent line (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Slope of the tangent line (m) = (2-0) / (4-0)
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 2 / 4
Slope of the tangent line (m) = 1 / 2
An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm
Answers
Answer:
(a) After t years, the height is
18t² + 3t + 10
(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given growth rate
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3
dh = (18t + 3)dt
Integrating this, we have
h = 18t² + 3t + C
When t = 0, h = 10cm
Then
10 = C
So
(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10
(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9
h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10
= 810 + 27 + 10
= 847 cm
