In a right rectangles pyramid with base edges a= 18 cm and b= 10 cm the slant height toward a is k= 13 cm while the slant height towards b is l= 15 cm. What is the surface area of the pyramid

Answers

To find the surface area of this pier amid, you will find the area of the base and the areas of all for triangular lateral faces. Add these together for the total surface area in the end.

Base : 18 x 10 = 180 cm²

1st set of lateral faces:

A = 1/2 x b x h
1/2 x 13 x 18
A = 117 cm² x 2
234 cm²

2nd set of lateral faces:

1/2 x 10 x 15
A = 75 cm² x 2
150 cm²

150 cm² +234 cm² +180 cm²

The surface area of the pyramid is 564 cm².

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle has a length of 12. what could be the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse ?

Answers

the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse
h²=x*y
where
h is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse
h=12
x and y are the two segments of the hypotenuse
so
12²=x*y----------> 144=x*y

the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse could be
x=6
y=24
x*y=144

the answer is

To find the height of a pole, a surveyor moves 120 feet away from the base of the pole and then, with a transit 8 feet tall, measures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 26. to the nearest foot, what is the height of the pole

Answers

Refer to the figure.
Let AB be the height of the pole; CD be the height of the transit; BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the transit.

Triangle ADE is a right triangle with angle D measuring 26 degrees. Using the tangent function, we have
     [tex]tan\:26^{\circ} =\frac{AE}{120}[/tex]
So, 
     [tex]AE=120\:tan\:26^{\circ} [/tex]

Circle O is shown below. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

If m∡R = 28°, what is m∡ O?

Please Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Measure of angle O is 56 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from diagram that NQ is minor arc and NRQ is major arc. Our angle R (inscribed angle) and O (central angle) are corresponding to minor arc NQ. We will use inscribed angle theorem which states that measure of inscribed angle is one-half the measure of central angle.

We are given that measure of inscribed angle R is 28 degrees. To find measure of our central angle O we will multiply 28 by 2.

Lincoln Technical College has 856 students. They expect 700 guests for a special speaker. The custodian has set up 1,500 chairs. How many more chairs are needed if everyone is to have a seat? 3. Draw a picture or a chart that shows the information and the question

Answers

57 chairs are needed if everyone is to have a seat

To calculate the number of additional chairs needed, we first need to determine the total number of seats required. This is the sum of the students, guests, and speaker. Then, we subtract the number of chairs already set up to find out the additional chairs needed.

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Total number of seats required:

  - Students: 856

  - Guests: 700

  - Speaker: 1 (assuming the speaker needs a seat)

  Total seats required = 856 (students) + 700 (guests) + 1 (speaker) = 1,557 seats

2. Number of chairs already set up: 1,500

3. Additional chairs needed:

  Total seats required - Chairs already set up = 1,557 - 1,500 = 57

So, Lincoln Technical College needs 57 more chairs to accommodate everyone if all students, guests, and the speaker are to have a seat.

Lincoln Technical College has 856 students and expects 700 guests for a special speaker, making the total number of attendees 1,557. The custodian has already set up 1,500 chairs. To find out how many more chairs are needed, we subtract the number of chairs already set up from the total seats required. This calculation reveals that 57 additional chairs are needed to ensure that everyone has a seat. It's essential to consider all attendees, including students, guests, and the speaker, to accurately determine the total seating requirements.

A rectangular photograph is mounted on a poster and has a two inch border on each side. The poster itself is mounted on a frame whose sides are the same length as the sides of the poster. The frame cost $2 per inch and the cost of the frame was $160. If the area of the photograph is 231 inches squared. What are the dimensions of the frame?

Answers

Let's define variables:
 w: width of the photograph
 l: length of the photograph
 The cost of the box is:
 2 * (2 * (w + 2)) + 2 * (2 * (l + 2)) = 160
 The area is:
 (w + 2) * (l + 2) = 231
 Solving the system of equations we have:
 w = 5 inches
 l = 31 inches
 Then, the dimensions of the frame are:
 w + 2 = 7 inches
 l + 2 = 33 inches
 Answer:
 
the dimensions of the frame are:
 
7 inches * 33 inches

Larry's lemons is a street vendor business that sells lemonade and lemon bars. A cup of lemonade sells for $2 and a lemon bar sells for $1.50. When all related business expenses are included, a cup of lemonade costs $0.25 to prepare and a lemon bar costs $0.20 to prepare. Last Monday, one of the vendors selling Larry's Lemons sold at least $500 worth of lemonade and lemon bars and its expenses were no more than $100. At least 150 cups of lemonade were sold. Let x be the number of cups of lemonade sold last Monday and y be the number of lemon bars sold last Monday. Which ordered pair representing a combination of cups of lemonade and lemon bars could have been sold last Monday and make sense in the context of the situation?

Answers

The one possible ordered pair that satisfies all conditions is (x, y) = (150, 134).

The ordered pair (x, y) that satisfies the following conditions:

1. The total revenue from selling x cups of lemonade and y lemon bars is at least $500. This gives us the inequality:

[tex]\[ 2x + 1.50y \geq 500 \][/tex]

2. The total expenses for preparing x cups of lemonade and y lemon bars is no more than $100. This gives us the inequality:

[tex]\[ 0.25x + 0.20y \leq 100 \][/tex]

3. At least 150 cups of lemonade were sold, which gives us the inequality:

[tex]\[ x \geq 150 \][/tex]

To find a combination of x and y that satisfies all these conditions, we can start by considering the minimum number of lemonade cups sold, which is 150. We can then calculate the revenue and expenses for this minimum number and see how many lemon bars would be needed to meet the revenue requirement while keeping the expenses within the limit.

Let's start with the minimum number of lemonade cups:

[tex]\[ x = 150 \][/tex]

The revenue from lemonade alone would be:

[tex]\[ 2 \times 150 = \$300 \][/tex]

The expenses for lemonade alone would be:

[tex]\[ 0.25 \times 150 = \$37.50 \][/tex]

Now, we need to find out how many lemon bars (y) would be needed to make up the remaining revenue to at least $500 while keeping the total expenses at or below $100.

Let's denote the remaining revenue needed as R and calculate it:

[tex]\[ R = 500 - 300 = \$200 \][/tex]

The revenue from selling y lemon bars is $1.50y, so we have:

[tex]\[ 1.50y \geq 200 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y \geq \frac{200}{1.50} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y \geq 133.33 \][/tex]

Since we cannot sell a fraction of a lemon bar, we round up to the nearest whole number, so at least 134 lemon bars must be sold.

Now let's check the expenses for the lemon bars. We have $100 - $37.50 = $62.50 left for expenses. The cost to prepare each lemon bar is $0.20, so we calculate the maximum number of lemon bars (y) that can be prepared with the remaining expenses:

[tex]\[ 0.20y \leq 62.50 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y \leq \frac{62.50}{0.20} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y \leq 312.5 \][/tex]

Combining the two conditions for y, we find that y must be at least 134 but no more than 312.

Therefore, one possible ordered pair that satisfies all conditions is (x, y) = (150, 134). This means that at least 150 cups of lemonade and at least 134 lemon bars were sold last Monday to meet the revenue and expense conditions.
