Answer:

Q is not the midpoint of PR

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If Q is the midpoint of PR

then

PQ=QR

substitute the given values and solve for x

15x-2=5x+3\\15x-5x=3+2\\10x=5\\x=0.5

Remember that

PR=5\ ft ----> given problem

PR=PQ+QR\\PR=(15x-2)+(5x+3)

substitute the value of x

PR=(15(0.5)-2)+(5(0.5)+3)

PR=(5.5)+(5.5)

PR=11\ ft

Compare with the given value of PR

5\ ft\neq 11\ ft

therefore

Q is not the midpoint of PR

The curvature of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Width of the arch = 105 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Function representing the width of the arch,

f(x) = -0.016(x - 52.5)² + 45

where x = width of the base of the arch or horizontal distance from arch's left end

f(x) = vertical distance of the arch

From the given quadratic function, vertex of the parabola is (52.5, 45).

Coordinates of the vertex represents,

Height of the arch = 45 m

Half of the horizontal distance from the left end = 52.5 m

Therefore, width of the bridge = 2(Half the width of the bridge from left end) = 2×52.5

= 105 m

Therefore, given bridge is 105 m wide.

The triangular prism shown has triangular _____face(s) and lateral face(s).
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The triangular prism shown has 2 triangular face(s) and 3 lateral face(s).

The area of one triangular face is 7.5 mm²

The surface area of the triangular prism is 135 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular face of the prism is the face that has a three sided figure while the lateral faces are faces with four-sided figure. As seen from the triangular prism, it has 2 triangular faces since it is made up of 2 right angled triangles and has 3 lateral faces since it is made up of 3 rectangles which are 4 sided each.

Area of one triangular face = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

Given base = 2.5 mm and height = 6 mm

Area of one triangular face = \frac{1}{2} *2.5 * 6\\

= 3*2.5\\= 7.5mm^{2}

Surface area of triangular prism = bh + pH

b= base of the triangle  = 2.5 mm

h- height of the triangle  = 6 mm

p= perimeter of the triangle  = base + height + slant height = 2.5+6+6.5

p = 15 mm

H= height of the prism = 8mm

Surface area of triangular prism = 2.5(6)+15(8)

Surface area of triangular prism = 15 + 120

Surface area of triangular prism = 135mm²

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!
