If y is the circumcenter is angle STU find each measure

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Y is the circumcenter of ΔSTU. we have to find the measures SV, SY, YW and YX.

As Circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and also The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet.

Hence, VY, YW and YX are the perpendicular bisectors on the sides ST, TU and SU.

Given ST=18 units.

As VY is perpendicular bisector implies SV=9 units.

Also in triangle VTY

$YT^{2}=VY^{2}+VT^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=VY^{2}+9^{2}$

⇒ VY^{2}=115

As vertices of triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter

⇒ SY=YT=UY=14 units

Hence, SY is 14 units

In ΔUWY, $UY^{2}=YW^{2}+UW^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YW^2+11^{2}$

⇒ $YW^2=196-121=75$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt75units$

In ΔYXU, $UY^{2}=YX^{2}+XU^{2}$

⇒ $14^{2}=YX^2+13^{2}$

⇒ $YX^2=196-169=27$ ⇒ YW= $\sqrt27units$

Hence, measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers t

gregori [183]

Answer:

probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will use Binomial probability distribution because:

In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.

A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an repeated multiple or n times.

Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.

The formula is:

b(x; n, P) = $C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

b = binomial probability also represented as P(X=x)

x =no of successes

P = probability of a success on a single trial

n = no of trials

$C_{n,x}$ is calculated as:

$C_{n,x}$ = n! / x!(n – x)!

= 10! / 10!(10-10)!

= 1

According to given question:

probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.

number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10

To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire

X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them

So putting these into the formula:

P(X=x) = $C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

= C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

= 1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰

= 1 * 0.0282 * 1

P(X=x) = 0.0282

If you know that a < b, and both a and b are positive numbers, then what must be true about the relationship between the oppo

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.
