In the △ABC, the height AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC.
btw i need two answers for bc not just one
Answers
Answer:
AB = 30 inch
BC = 14 inch or BC = 50 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a drawing. Please see the attachment. All measurements are in inches.
Consider the two triangles:
∆ ABC and ∆ AB'C
1. Looking only at ∆ ABC. Since this is not a rectangular triangle, let's first consider ∆ ANC, so we can calculate NC.
AN is the height and there fore is perpendicular to NC and thus also to BC.
In ∆ ANC
AN² + NC² = AC²
We want to calculate NC, so:
NC² = AC² - AN²
Given: AC = 40 and AN = 24
NC² = 40² + 24²
NC² = 1600 + 576
NC² = 1024
NC = +-SQRT(1024)
NC = 32
NC = NB + BC
We want to know BC
BC = NC - NB
Given: NB = BN = 18 and we just calculated NC to be 32 so...
BC = 32 - 18
BC = 14
2. Looking only at ∆ AB'C
AN is the height and there fore is perpendicular to B'C. Let's consider ∆ AB'N, so we can calculate AB'.
AN is the height and there fore is perpendicular to B'N, which means it has an angle of 90° in ∆ AB'N.
In ∆ AB'N
c² = a² + b²
AB'² = AN² + B'N²
Given: AN = 24 and B'N = 18
AB'² = 24² + 18²
AB'² = 576 + 324
AB'² = 900
AB' = +-SQRT(900)
AB' = 30
In ∆ AB'C
with AB' = 30 and AC = 40
c² = a² + b²
B'C² = AB'² + AC²
B'C² = 30² + 40²
B'C² = 900 + 1600
B'C² = 2500
B'C = +-SQRT(2500)
B'C = 50
Now we have our answers.
Extra:
Please look at the picture again, but now concentrate on the indicated 50 and - 50...
I am trying to explain something about the meaning of the outcome of mathematical calculations like:
c² = 2500
c = +- SQRT(2500)
c = 50 or c = - 50
Depending on where you want to start from, you can "move" 50 inch in one direction or 50 inch in the opposite direction, hence the -50 inch. Please let me explain why I am making a fuss...
1). Let's consider ∆ AB'C. Going from B' to C, you "move" -50 inch form B' towards C. This 50 inch is what we calculated earlier, but the we neglected to explain why we discarded the minus value of the SQRT... We just stated it to be only the positive value! Normally we give no meaning to the negative variant of it... Well, is this true in this case?
2). Let's consider ∆ ABC'. Going from B to C', you "move" 50 inch form B towards C'. Please understand that the direction is opposite that of - 50 inch in 1).
It is important to understand that a negative sign means the 180° in the direction of the other way.
In general. When calculating a square side by using the SQRT, you carefully need to consider if you can discard the -
minus value of your calculated outcome.
Not always, but usually there is some sort of meaning to the negative part of the SQRT, you just need to be willing to understand what it possibly could mean.
I hope this has made some sense to you :-).

A single story house is to be built on a rectangular lot 70 feet wide by 100 feet deep. The shorter side of the lot is along the street. The house must be set back 30 feet from the street. It also must be 20 feet from the back lot line and 10 feet from each side lot line. What is the greatest area that the house can have, in sq feet?
Answers
Answer:
250 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shorter side is along the street and the setback is 10ft from each side, the house is 50 ft wide
and 100 -20 -30 = 50 ft long
50 x 50 = 250 sq ft
The greatest area of the given house is 2500 square feet.
What is the area of the rectangle?The area of a rectangle is defined as the product of the length and width.
The area of a rectangle = L × W
Where W is the width of the rectangle and L is the length of the rectangle
To find the greatest area that the house can have, you need to determine the dimensions of the house.
The width of the house will be the distance between the two side lot lines, which is 70 feet - 10 feet - 10 feet = 50 feet.
The depth of the house will be the distance between the front and back lot lines, which is 100 feet - 30 feet - 20 feet = 50 feet.
The area of the house is :
50 feet x 50 feet = 2500 sq feet.
This is the greatest area that the house can have.

If the plane intersects the cylinder vertically along an edge of the cylinder, the cross section is
A. Circle
B. Line
C. Rectangle
D. Oval
Answers
Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross section: In three-dimensional space, the non-empty intersection of a solid body and a plane is known as cross section.
A cylinder has two circular plane surface called edges (top and bottom) and curved surface.
If the plane intersects the cylinder vertically along an edge of the cylinder, then the plane is perpendicular to both edges and we get two pairs of opposite sides which are equal.
It means, the cross section of plane and cylinder is a rectangle.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Find the value of z and
simplify completely.
Answers
Answer:
z = 6√2 = 8.49
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to find the value of the length z.
Mathematically, using Pythagoras’s theorem we can do this.
The Pythagoras’ theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the length of the squares of the two other sides.
Kindly note that the hypotenuse is the side that faces the angle 90
These are the points needed to solve for z
Using Pythagoras,
z^2 = y^2 + 4^2
z^2 = y^2 + 16 •••••••(i)
x^2 + z^2 = 20^2
x^2 + z^2 = 400 •••••••••(ii)
z^2 + 16^2 = x^2. ••••••••(iii)
Substitute iii into ii
z^2 + 16^2 + z^2 = 400
2z^2 + 256 = 400
2z^2 = 400-256
2z^2 = 144
z^2 = 72
z = √(72)
z = 6√2

In football seasons, a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. In a particular season, a team played 34 games and lost 6 games. If the team had a total of 70 points at the end of the season, what is the difference between games won and games lost?
Answers
Answer:
The difference between games won and games lost is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the team played 34 games and lost 6, the number of games where they got points is 28, therefore the number of wins plus draws, must be equal to that:
[tex]win + draws = 28[/tex]
Since each win values 3 points, while each draw values 1 point, then the number of points earned is given by:
[tex]3*win + draws = 70\\[/tex]
We now have a system of equations, which we can solve.
[tex]win + draws = 28\\3*win + draws = 70\\[/tex]
Multiplying the first equation by -1:
[tex]-win- draws = -28\\3*win + draws = 70[/tex]
Adding both equations:
[tex]2*win = 42\\win = 21[/tex]
Since the team won 21 games and lost 6, the difference is 15.

The height (in feet) of a rocket launched from the ground is given by the function f(t) = -16t2 + 160t. Match each value of time elapsed (in seconds) after the rocket’s launch to the rocket's corresponding instantaneous velocity (in feet/second).
Answers
I assume you meant h(t) = 160t - 16t^2, as h(t) = 160t - 16t2 has no maximum.
There's two ways of solving this:
(i) By completing the square and finding the maximum turning point.
(ii) By using Calculus methods to find derivative and equating it to 0 in order to find maximum turning point.
(i) h(t) = 160t - 16t^2
h(t) = -16t^2 +160t
h(t) = -16(t^2-10t) (by taking out a common factor of -16)
h(t) = -16[(t-5)^2 - 25] (by completing the square)
h(t) = -16(t-5)^2 + 400 (on multiplying out by -16)
From this we see that the turning point is at (5;400), therefore the maximum height is 400 feet and is reached after 5 seconds.
Or...
(ii) h(t) = 160t - 16t^2
h`(t) = 160 - 32t (where h`(t) = derivative of h(t))
Now to find maximum of h(t), we set h`(t) = 0 and solve for t:
0 = 160 - 32t (on substituting h`(t) = 0)
32t = 160 (on solving for t)
t = 160/32 (on dividing both sides by 5)
t= 5
Now we have found that at 5 seconds, we will reach our maximum height. So to find this maximum height, we'll have to substitute t=5 into h(t) = 160t - 16t^2.
h(5) = 160(5) -16(5)^2
h(5) = 800 - 400
h(5) = 400 feet
So, once again we have shown that maximum height is 400 feet and is reached after 5 seconds.
Which graph represents an odd function? On a coordinate plane, a function has two curves. The first curve is in quadrants 2 and 3 and has a minimum value of (negative 1, negative 3). The curve intersects the x-axis at (negative 2, 0) and goes to (0, 0). The second curve is in quadrants 1 and 4 and has a minimum value of (1, negative 3). The curve starts at (0, 0) and intercepts the x-axis at (2, 0). On a coordinate plane, a curved line crosses the x-axis at (negative 4, 0), (0, 0), and (4, 0). On a coordinate plane, a v-shaped function opens up. The function goes through (0, 2), has a vertex at (2, 0), and goes through (5, 3).

A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds. The motorcycle then travels at a constant speed of 1.2u m/s for 15 seconds. Assuming that the acceleration is constant, express the total distance, D in metres, traveled by the motorcycle.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds
V = U + at
1.2u = u + a*10
=> a = 0.02u
S= ut + (1/2)at²
Distance in 1st 10 secs
S = u(10) + (1/2)(0.02)(10)²
=> S = 10u + u
=> S = 11u m
Constant speed 1.2u for 15 secs
S = 1.2u * 15
=> S = 18u m
Total Distance Covered d = 11u + 18u = 29u m
