What is the length of the shortest altitude in a triangle, if the lengths of the sides are 24 cm, 25 cm, 7 cm?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The shortest altitude is 6.72 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the side lengths are

24 cm, 25 cm, 7 cm

The area of a triangle =

[tex]A = \sqrt{s \cdot (s-a)\cdot (s-b)\cdot (s-c)}[/tex]

Where;

s = Half the perimeter = (24 + 25 +  7)/2 = 28

A = √((28×(28 - 24)×(28 - 25)×(28 - 7)) = 84 cm²

We note that 84/7 = 12

Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 25, and legs, 24 and 7, the height of the triangle = 7

To find the shortest altitude, we utilize the formula for the area of the triangle A = 1/2 base × Altitude

Altitude  = A/(1/2 ×base)

Therefore, the altitude is inversely proportional to the base, and to reduce the altitude, we increase the base as follows;

We set the base to 25 cm to get;

Area of the triangle A =  1/2 × base × Altitude

84 = 1/2 × 25 × Altitude

Altitude = 84/(1/2 × 25) = 6.72 cm

The shortest altitude = 6.72 cm.

Find the weight of fruits left (Please say the answer with explanation who says the answer first I will mark them as the brainliest)

Answers

Answer:

A. Total weight of the fruits is 2.25 kg

B. There are no more fruits left.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

To get the total weight of the fruits, we will first of all have to sort out the fruits and multiply the weight of the fruits by the number available.

Weight of apples:

we have one 1apple weighing 1/2 kg. The weight will be 1 |X 1/2 = 1/2 kg

Weight of mangoes:

We have five mangoes weighing 1/4 kg. Total weight will be 5 X 1/4 = 5/4 kg

Weight of oranges:

We have one orange weighing 1/2 kg. Total weight will be 1X 1/2 = 1/2 kg

Total weight of the fruits will be total weight of Mangoes + oranges + apples

= 1/2 + 5/4 + 1/2 = 2.25kg

B.

If her family begins to eat off some portions of the fruits, we will have to calculate the sum total of all the weights of fruits eaten

The portion eaten will be 3/4 + (2 X 1/2) + 1/2 = 2.25kg

If this happens the family would have eaten all of the fruits because

the original weight present is only 2.25kg of fruits to start with

Theresa volunteers at a food shelf. Today she is filling bags of oranges. When she started, there were 213 oranges. After filling x bags with 3 oranges each, there were fewer than 51 oranges left. How many bags of oranges did Theresa fill? Part c

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there are 213 oranges and Theresa fills each bag with 3 oranges, so we can represent each bag as 3x. She keeps filling until she reaches 51 oranges.

First. let's write this as an equation, She is starting with 213 oranges and filling x bags with 3 oranges to the point she has less than 51 oranges.

213 - 3x < 51

Now add 3x to both sides,

213 - 3x + 3x < 51 + 3x

213 < 51 + 3x

Now we subtract 51 from both sides,

213 - 51 < 51 - 51 + 3x

162 < 3x

Now we divide both sides by 3,

162/3 < 3x/3

We find the answer,

54 < x

x > 54 bags

575 + 23x = 875

Subtract 575 from both sides.

575 + 23x - 575 = 875 - 575

23x = 300

Divide both sides by 23.

Se entiende como razón a la fracción que compara dos elementos entre sí.

Por ejemplo en una clase de 24 alumnos donde 15 son mujeres y 9 son varones, podemos decir que:

- Por cada 15 mujeres hay 9 varones 9/15

- Por cada 9 varones hay 15 mujeres, 15/9

Para el ejercicio a. nos cuentan que 1 pelota es utilizada cada 5 niños, por lo que la razón la podemos escribir como 1/5, 1 pelota cada 5 o directamente 5, ya que por cada 5 alumnos, tenemos 1 pelota.

El ejercicio b es más fácil: ya tenemos el total de autos, 3060. Entonces:

- Cada 3060 autos, 1720 son asiáticos

- Cada 3060 autos, 1320, son americanos

x² + (y - 2)² = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of a circle is given by,

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h, k) is the center of the circle and 'r' is the radius.

If the center of the circle is (0, -2) and radius 'r' = 12 units

Equation of the circle will be,

(x - 0)² + (y + 2)² = (12)²

x² + (y - 2)² = 144

Therefore, equation of the circle will be,

Three friends have been working in a garden. One has worked for 11 hours and the other 2 worked for 7 hours. The garden owner paid $500 for the work that was done. How should this money be divided fairly between the three friends?

Answers

Answer:

First should get $220, other two should get $140 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of hours the friends worked is 11:7:7. Say that they are paid 11x, 7x, and 7x respectively, therefore:

11x + 7x + 7x = 500

25x = 500

x = 20 so the first friend should get 11 * 20 = $220 and the other two should get 20 * 7 = $140 each.

Answers

Answer:

The digits arranged in order from least to largest is 3.011, 3.09, 3.9, 9.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrangement of decimals in order from smallest to largest can be done by  taking note of the  digit in the unit portion, the tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

The numbers are;

9.3

3.09

3.9

3.011

The largest number is the 9.3

Of the three numbers with 3 as unit, the lowest hundredths is 0.011, therefore, we have;

Therefore, the least (lowest) number = 3.011

The next is the 3.09 as 0.09 is larger than 0.011

Then the second number is 3.9

The digits arranged in order from least to largest is then 3.011, 3.09, 3.9, 9.3.

You are hiking and are trying to determine how far away the nearest cabin is, which happens to be due north from your current position. Your friend walks 245 yards due west from your position and takes a bearing on the cabin of N 22.6°
e. How far are you from the cabin?

Answers

Answer:

589 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that requires the use of trigonometric functions.

The trigonometric function to be used here is the tangent function.

tan θ = Opposite side/ Adjacent side

In the question, we are told

Your friend walks 245 yards due west from your position = Opposite side

Your friend's takes a bearing on the cabin of N 22.6° = θ

Your distance from the cabin = Adjacent side

Hence,

tan 22.6 ° = 245/ Adjacent side

Cross Multiply

Adjacent side = 245/ tan 22.6°

Adjacent side = 588.57469726 yards.

Therefore, your distance from the cabin approximately to the nearest yard(whole number) = 589 yards

First, subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to put into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Then, divide by 2 to isolate the y.

4x + 2y = 50

2y = -4x + 50

y = -2x + 25

Answer:

[tex]y=-2x+25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope-intercept form of the equation, we just need to isolate the y-variable.

So we have the equation:

[tex]4x+2y=50[/tex]

First, subtract 4x from both sides. The 4xs on the left cancel:

[tex](4x+2y)-4x=50-4x\\2y=-4x+50[/tex]

Now, divide both sides by 2. The 2s on the left cancel:

[tex]\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-4x+50}{2} \\y=\frac{-4x+50}{2}[/tex]

Simplify the right side. Expand the fraction:

[tex]y=\frac{-4x}{2}+\frac{50}{2} \\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

so first convert all the given costs to cents by multiplying each amount with 100 then add all of them to get the total as 600

in a pie chart we know that it's a circle and all angles within the circle must add up to 360 so to get an angle for a certain cost that will represent it in the chart you have to take that cost over the total to get the fraction of the circle it will occupy multiplied by 360 to get it in degrees or which portion of 360 will it occupy hence

60/600×360=36

The sum of Jim's weight and Bob's weight is 180 pounds. If you subtract Jim's weight from Bob's weight, you get half of Bob's weight. How many pounds does Bob weigh?

Answers

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:

j + b = 180

b - j = 1/2b

Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)

[tex]b - j = \frac{b}{2}\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0[/tex]

Now we can solve using the process of elimination.

[tex]b + j = 180\\\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0\\\\b + \frac{b}{2} = 180\\\\b + b \cdot 2 = 180\cdot 2\\3b = 360\\b = 120[/tex]

Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.

[tex]120 + j = 180\\j = 180-120\\j = 60[/tex]

So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Bob weighs 120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Our first equation will be J(Jim) + B(Bob) = 180 pounds. Our second equation will be 2J = B because it says " if you subtract Jim's weight from Bob's weight, you get half of Bob's weight." This is basically saying that Jim is half of Bob's weight. So that's why our second equation is 2J=B. In our first equation, J+b=180, if we substitute b for 2J, our second equation, then we get the equation 3J = 180. After dividing 3 from both sides, we get j=60. Since Bob weighs twice as much as Jim, his weight will be 120. Now if we want to double-check, we can substitute Jim and Bob's weight for all of the equations.  

1) 60 + 120 = 180                This equation is correct

2) 2(60) = 120                     This is correct because 2 times 60 equals to 120

3) 3(60) = 180                     This is correct because 60 times 3 equals to 180
