Answer: They will travel about 131.18 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A football field is 120 yards long by 53 yards wide.
We know that a football field is rectangular in shape.
Each interior angle in a rectangle is a right angle.
Then, by Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Diagonal)² = (Length)² + (Width)²
If a player runs diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner, then the length of the diagonal is given by :-
Hence, they will travel about 131.18 yards.
Answer:
5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,
The maximum yield would be 1250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The original number of trees per acre = 20,
Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,
Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,
So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x
∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,
So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)
Thus, the total yield per acre,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
Again differentiating with respect to t,
For maxima or minima,
⇒ 20 - 4x = 0
⇒ 20 = 4x
⇒ x = 5,
For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,
Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,
And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,
i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,
and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds
Let m∠CLN = x. Then m∠ALM = 3x, and m∠A = 90°-x, m∠C = 90°-3x.
The sum of angles of ∆ABC is 180°, so we have
... 180° = 40° + m∠A + m∠C
Using the above expressions for m∠A and m∠C, we can write ...
... 180° = 40° + (90° -x) + (90° -3x)
... 4x = 40° . . . . . . . . . add 4x-180°
... x = 10°
From which we conclude ...
... m∠C = 90°-3x = 90° - 3·10° = 60°
The ratio of CN to CL is
... CN/CL = cos(∠C) = cos(60°)
... CN/CL = 1/2
so ...
... CN = (1/2)CL
