LenKa [72]

Answer:

(a) 6 units

(b) 4 units

(c) 7 units

(d) 9.22 units

(e) 7.21 units

(f) 8.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d from one point (x₁, y₁, z₁) to another point (x₂, y₂, z₂) is given by;

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²]

Now from the question;

(a) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xy-plane

The xy-plane is the point where z is 0. i.e

xy-plane = (4, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (0 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (0)² + (-6)²]

d = √(-6)²

d = √36

d = 6

Hence, the distance to the xy plane is 6 units

(b) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the yz-plane

The yz-plane is the point where x is 0. i.e

yz-plane = (0, -7, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (0)²]

d = √(4)²

d = √16

d = 4

Hence, the distance to the yz plane is 4 units

(c) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xz-plane

The xz-plane is the point where y is 0. i.e

xz-plane = (4, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 6)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(-7)²]

d = √49

d = 7

Hence, the distance to the xz plane is 7 units

(d) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the x axis

The x axis is the point where y and z are 0. i.e

x-axis = (4, 0, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(49 + 36)]

d = √(85)

d = 9.22

Hence, the distance to the x axis is 9.22 units

(e) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the y axis

The x axis is the point where x and z are 0. i.e

y-axis = (0, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (6)²]

d = √[(16 + 36)]

d = √(52)

d = 7.22

Hence, the distance to the y axis is 7.21 units

(f) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the z axis

The z axis is the point where x and y are 0. i.e

z-axis = (0, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, 0 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (0))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)²]

d = √[(16 + 49)]

d = √(65)

d = 8.06

Hence, the distance to the z axis is 8.06 units

1) Proiectiile catetelor unui triunghi dreptunghic pe ipotenuza au lungimile 9 cm si 25 cm. Aflati lungimea inaltimii din varful

Flauer [41]

Answer:

1) 15cm

2) left projection/h = h/right projection

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

1) The projections of the legs of a right triangle on the hypotenuse have lengths of 9 cm and 25 cm. Find the length of the height at the top of the right angle.

2) In a right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 34 cm, and the lengths of the projections of the legs on the hypotenuse are directly proportional to the numbers 0, (6) and 0.75. Calculate the length of the height corresponding to the hypotenuse.

Solution

1) The length of the height of a right angle triangle is also called the altitude.

Since there are no diagrams in the question, I sent a diagram of the right angle as an attachment to the solution.

The projections of the legs are 25cm and 9cm.

Hence, the longer projection length AD = 25cm and the shorter projection length DB = 9cm

In a right triangle, the altitude (height) drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the

geometric mean of these two segments (the two projections) and it's given by:

left projection/h = h/right projection

AD/h = h/DB

25/h = h/9

Cross multiply

h^2 = 25×9

h =√225 = 15cm

The length of the height at the top of the triangle = 15cm

2) Length of hypotenuse = 34

From the question, the lengths of the projections of the legs on the hypotenuse are directly proportional to the numbers 0, (6) and 0.75.

There is an error with the figures because the sum of the length of the projection of the legs should be equal to the hypotenuse but it isn't in this case.

To calculate the length of the height corresponding to the hypotenuse, we would use the same formula above.

left projection/h = h/right projection

To find each leg using question 1 above, each leg of the triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the part of the hypotenuse directly below the leg.

Hypotenuse =34cm

Hyp/leg = leg/part

To find leg y, part for leg y = 25cm

34/y = y/25

y^2 = 34×25 = 850

y = √850 = 29.2cm

To find leg x, part for leg x = 9cm

34/y = y/9

y^2 = 34×9 = 306

y = √306 = 17.5cm

In a new card game, you start with a well-shuffled full deck and draw 3 cards without replacement. If you draw 3 hearts, you win

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Expected pay winning $50= $0.585

Expected pay winning $25= $2.36

Expected pay for anything else= $-4.35

Expected returns=3.59

Expected value for one play= $(-1.41)

Do not play this game because you will lose $1.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability P(3 hearts) = (13/52)×(12/51)×(11/50) = 0.013

Probability P(3black)= (26/52)×(24/51)×(23/50) = 0.118

Probability P(drawing anything else)= 1 - 0.013 - 0.118= 0.869

Expected pay($50)= 0.013$(50-5)= $ 0.585

Expected pay($25)= 0.118(25-5)$ = $2.36

Expected pay for anything else= 0.869(0-5)$ =$(-4.347)

Expected value of one play=$ (0.585 + 2.353 -4.347) = -$1.41

c) Do not play the game.

which shape had a larger area: a rectangle that is 7 inches by 3/4 inch, or a square with side length of 2.5 inches? Show your r

Brums [2.3K]

In order to find the area for a rectangle, you must multiply length times width, which would be 7 x 3/4 which is 5.25. In order to find the area for a square, you do length^2, also know as length x length. Which would be 2.5^2 which is 2.5 x 2.5 which is 6.25. 6.25 is larger than 5.25, so the square has a larger area.
