Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ΔSRQ is a right angle triangle, ∠SRQ is right angle.

RT is altitude on side SQ, ST=9, TQ=16 and SR=x.

In ΔSRQ and ΔSTR,

$m\angle S=m\angle S$ (Reflexive property)

$m\angle R=m\angle T$ (Right angle)

By AA property of similarity,

$\triangle SRQ\sim \triangle STR$

Corresponding parts of similar triangles are proportional.

$\dfrac{SR}{SQ}=\dfrac{ST}{SR}$

Substitute the given values.

$\dfrac{x}{9+16}=\dfrac{9}{x}$

$\dfrac{x}{25}=\dfrac{9}{x}$

On cross multiplication we get

$x^2=25\times 9$

$x^2=225$

Taking square root on both sides.

$x=\sqrt{225}$

$x=15$

The value of x is 15. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Evaluate the triple integral ∭ExydV where E is the solid tetrahedon with vertices (0,0,0),(5,0,0),(0,9,0),(0,0,4).

Elan Coil [88]

Answer: $\int\limits^a_E {\int\limits^a_E {\int\limits^a_E {xy} } \, dV$ = 1087.5

Step-by-step explanation: To evaluate the triple integral, first an equation of a plane is needed, since the tetrahedon is a geometric form that occupies a 3 dimensional plane. The region of the integral is in the attachment.

An equation of a plane is found with a point and a normal vector. <u>Normal</u> <u>vector</u> is a perpendicular vector on the plane.

Given the points, determine the vectors:

P = (5,0,0); Q = (0,9,0); R = (0,0,4)

vector PQ = (5,0,0) - (0,9,0) = (5,-9,0)

vector QR = (0,9,0) - (0,0,4) = (0,9,-4)

Knowing that cross product of two vectors will be perpendicular to these vectors, you can use the cross product as normal vector:

n = PQ × QR = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\5&-9&0\\0&9&-4\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j\\5&-9\\0&9\end{array}\right]$

n = 36i + 0j + 45k - (0k + 0i - 20j)

n = 36i + 20j + 45k

Equation of a plane is generally given by:

$a(x-x_{0}) + b(y-y_{0}) + c(z-z_{0}) = 0$

Then, replacing with point P and normal vector n:

$36(x-5) + 20(y-0) + 45(z-0) = 0$

The equation is: 36x + 20y + 45z - 180 = 0

Second, in evaluating the triple integral, set limits:

In terms of z:

$z = \frac{180-36x-20y}{45}$

When z = 0:

$y = 9 + \frac{-9x}{5}$

When z=0 and y=0:

x = 5

Then, triple integral is:

$\int\limits^5_0 {\int\limits {\int\ {xy} \, dz } \, dy } \, dx$

Calculating:

$\int\limits^5_0 {\int\limits {\int\ {xyz} \, dy } \, dx$

$\int\limits^5_0 {\int\limits {\int\ {xy(\frac{180-36x-20y}{45} - 0 )} \, dy } \, dx$

$\frac{1}{45} \int\limits^5_0 {\int\ {180xy-36x^{2}y-20xy^{2}} \, dy } \, dx$

$\frac{1}{45} \int\limits^5_0 {90xy^{2}-18x^{2}y^{2}-\frac{20}{3} xy^{3} } \, dx$

$\frac{1}{45} \int\limits^5_0 {2430x-1458x^{2}+\frac{94770}{125} x^{3}-\frac{23490}{375}x^{4} } \, dx$

$\frac{1}{45} [30375-60750+118462.5-39150]$

$\int\limits^5_0 {\int\limits {\int\ {xyz} \, dy } \, dx$ = 1087.5

<u>The volume of the tetrahedon is 1087.5 cubic units.</u>

Brandon bought 21 chicken wings for $39.90. How much would it cost for 15 wings?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$28.50

Step-by-step explanation:

21 chicken wings= $39.90

1 chicken wing= 39.90÷21= $1.90

15 chicken wings= 15×1.90= $28.50

Mathew rolls a number cube labeled with the numbers 1−6. He then flips a fair coin. What is the probability that he rolls a 4 an

kap26 [50]

Answer: 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on cube=6

faces on coin=2

Therefore, the total outcomes= $6\times2=12$

Now, the favorable outcome that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=1

The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head= $\frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total outcome}}$

⇒The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head= $\frac{1}{12}$ =0.083333\approx0.83.

Therefore, The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=0.083
