1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.

2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.

3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.

4. All right angles are congruent.

5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

135 in Sport centre: Total

59:swimming pool

31:track

19 both swimming and gym

16 gym and track

4 all three facilities

4 people use all three facilities, then

16 - 4 = 12 people use the gym and the track and do not use the pool;

9 - 4 = 5 people use the pool and the track and do not use the gym;

19 - 4 = 15 people use the gym and the pool and do not use the track.

At least two facilities use 4 + 12 + 5 + 15 = 36 people, 4 of them use all three facilities. Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person which uses at least two facilities, uses all the facilities is

4/36=1/9

Hope this helps!!!

If the shaded cross sections of the solids have the same area, which of the following corresponds to the value of a: the side le

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$4\sqrt{\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section of a sphere is a circle with area $\pi r^2$ , where radius is given as 4
The cross section of the cube is a square with area $a^2$ , where a is side length of square

The circle area = the square area. Thus we have:

$\pi r^2 = a^2 \\\pi(4)^2=a^2\\16\pi=a^2\\\sqrt{16\pi}=a\\ a=\sqrt{16} \sqrt{\pi} \\a=4\sqrt{\pi}$

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p

laila [671]

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,

$Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x$

Again differentiating with respect to t,

$Y''(x) = -4$

For maxima or minima,

$Y'(x) = 0$

⇒ 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
