a pyramid whose altitude is 5ft weighs 800lbs. at what distance from its vertex must it be cut by a plane parallel to its base so that the two solids of equal weight will be formed?

Answers

Answer 1

A structure which has a square base and four triangular sides meeting at a point is called pyramid.

At distance of 3.97 feet from its vertex , pyramid is cut by plane  so that the two solids of equal weight will be formed.

It is assumed that weight of pyramid is proportional to its volume.

So,   [tex]w = k V[/tex] , where V is volume of original pyramid and v is volume of small pyramid and k is constant.

Let us consider that at h  distance,  pyramid is cut from its vertex. So a small pyramid is also formed.

Assume that base area of original pyramid is A and base of small pyramid is a.

Volume of original pyramid is,   [tex]V= \frac{1}{3} *A* 5[/tex]

So, weight of original pyramid,  [tex]W = k *(\frac{1}{3} *A* 5) = 800[/tex]

Volume of small pyramid is,  [tex]v = \frac{1}{3}* a* h[/tex]

So, weight of small pyramid, [tex]w = k*(\frac{1}{3}* a* h)=400[/tex]

Since, base and height of small pyramid and original pyramid are in proportion.

So,  [tex]\frac{a}{A} = (\frac{h}{5}) ^{2}[/tex]

       [tex]a = (\frac{h}{5} )^{2}A[/tex]

Substituting value of a in  equation [tex]k*(\frac{1}{3}* a* h)=400[/tex]

So, [tex]k*(\frac{1}{3}* \frac{h^{2} }{25}A * h)=400[/tex]

       [tex](k*\frac{1}{3}* A*5)*\frac{1}{5} *\frac{h^{2} }{25} * h)=400[/tex]

Since, [tex](k *\frac{1}{3} *A* 5) = 800[/tex], substitute in above equation.

    So, [tex]800*\frac{h^{3} }{125}=400\\\\h^{3}=\frac{125}{2}\\\\h=\sqrt[\frac{1}{3} ]{62.5}\\\\h=3.97 feet[/tex]

Simplify: 7√(1/3) + 2 1/3√(1/3) + 3√(147)​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

7 √(1/3) - 2 1/3 √(1/3) +3√147

→7(1/√3) - (7/3)(1/√3) +3√(3×7×7)

→ (7/√3) - (7/3√3) +3×7√3

→ (7/√3) - (7/3√3) + 21√3

On Rationalising the denominators then

→ [ 7√3/(√3×√3)]-[7√3/(3×√3×√3) +21√3

The Rationalising factor of√3 =√3

→ (7√3/3)-[7√3/(3×3)]+21√3

→ (7√3/3)-(7√3/9)+21√3

LCM of 3 and 9 = 9

→ [(3×7√3)-(7√3)+(9×21√3)]/9

→ (21√3-7√3+189√3)/9

→[(21-7+189)√3]/9

→ [(210-7)√3]/9

→ 203√3/9 Ans.

A Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback costs $14,845.00. With a 15% down payment, you can have an amortized loan for 6 years at a rate of 4.5%.

A) What will the monthly payment be?

B) How much will the car cost, in total?

C) How much money will be paid in interest?

Answers

Using simple interest, it is found that:

a) The monthly payment will be of $222.57.

b) In total, the car will cost $18,251.9275.

c) $16,025.1775 will be paid in interest.

The amount of money accrued after t years, using simple interest, with an initial value of P and a decimal rate of r is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + rt)[/tex]

In this problem:

Total cost of $14,845.00, with a down payment of 15%, hence the initial value that will accrue interest is [tex]P = 0.85(14845) = 12618.25[/tex].Loan for 6 years, hence [tex]t = 6[/tex]Rate of 4.5%, hence [tex]r = 0.045[/tex].

Item a:

The amount of money accrued will be of:

[tex]A(6) = 12618.25[1 + 0.045(6)] = 16025.1775 [/tex]

Payment over 6 x 12 = 72 months, hence, the monthly payment will be of:

[tex]m = \frac{16025.1775}{72} = 222.57[/tex]

The monthly payment will be of $222.57.

Item b:

The total cost is composed by:

Down payment of 15%, out of the amount of $14,845.00.Interest of $16,025.1775.

Hence:

[tex]T = 0.15(14845) + 16025.1775 = 18251.9275[tex]

In total, the car will cost $18,251.9275.

Item c:

As found in item a, $16,025.1775 will be paid in interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x - 12

A = 1

B = 4

C = -12

i used the "X" method to solve for the solutions. i think it's easier than using the quadratic formula but it doesn't always work

for the "X" method you have to multiply your A value and your C value together so 1 x (-12) = -12. that is going to be the top part of the X

the bottom part of the x will be your B value which is 4

we have to find multiples of -12 that will also add to 4

so -2 and 6 multiply to -12 but also add to 4 so we know these numbers will work

i added added two drawings to show how i found the solutions using the "X" method and the quadratic formula
