A geometric pattern is made using 17 triangles and squares. If the triangles and squares have a total of 64 sides, how many triangles were used?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 13 triangles were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle has 3 sides where each square has 4 sides.

Total triangles and squares = 17

Total sides they have = 64

Let x= Number of triangles , y= Number of squares

3x = sides of all triangles , 4x = Sides of all squares.

Now, [tex]x+y=17\ \ \ \ (i)[/tex]

[tex]3x+4x=64\ \ \ \ \ (ii)[/tex]

Multiply 3 on both sides of (i) , we get

[tex]3x+3y = 51\ \ \ \ (iii)[/tex]

Eliminate (ii) from (ii)

x= 13

Put this in (i), we get

[tex]13+y=17\\\\\Rightarrow\ y= 17-13=4[/tex]

Hence, 13 triangles were used.

Answer 2

There were 4 triangles used to frame a geometric pattern

System of Equations

Two are more equations that shares common variables are the system of equations. System of equations can be solved by using elimination method or substitution method .

Use the given information to frame system of  equations.

Assume variables for the unknown

Let x be the number of triangles used and 'y' be the number of squares used

A geometric pattern is made using 17 triangles and squares.

Sum of triangles and squares is equal to 17

[tex]x+y=17[/tex]

the triangles and squares have a total of 64 sides,

Each triangle has 3 sides and each square has 4 sides

[tex]3x+4y=64[/tex]

Solve both the equations using substitution method

[tex]x+y=17\\y=17-x[/tex]

Substitute y in second equation

[tex]3x+4y=64\\3x+4(17-x)=64\\3x+68-4x=64\\-1x+68=64\\-1x=64-68\\-1x=-4\\x=4[/tex]

Now find out y

[tex]y=17-x\\y=17-4\\y=13[/tex]

'x' is the number of triangles used

x=4, so 4 triangles were used

[tex]d = 4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-4-0)^2+(-4-0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{16+16}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{32}[/tex]

[tex]d = 4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

what is your question

While traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. The angle of elevation to the peak is 1.5°. After you drive 23 miles closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 13°. Approximate the height of the mountain.​

Answers

Answer:

0.68 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the height of the mountain is h

The distance between the mountain and the car, after moving 23 miles closer to the mountain, will be x (let's pose it as x for now)

tan(1.5°) = opposite/adjacent = h/23 + a

=> h = (23 + a)tan(1.5°) ---- (1)

tan(13°) = h/a

=> h = a(tan(13°)) ---- (2)

Now since h is common among the two equations, we can equate them;

[tex]\left(23+a\right)\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)=a\left(\tan \left(13^{\circ \:}\right)\right),\\23\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)+\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)a=\tan \left(13^{\circ \:}\right)a,\\\\\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)a-\tan \left(13^{\circ \:}\right)a=-23\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right),\\\left(\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)-\tan \left(13^{\circ \:}\right)\right)a=-23\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right),\\\\[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{23\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)}{\tan \left(13^{\circ \:}\right)-\tan \left(1.5^{\circ \:}\right)} = 2.94249...[/tex]

[tex]h = 2.94249tan\left(13^{\circ }\right) = 0.67932\dots[/tex]

The height of the mountain ≈ 0.68 miles

Determine the amount of an investment if AED 300 is invested
at a rate of 3.5% interest compounded monthly for 22 years.
A. 319.85 AED
B. 647.20 AED
C. 639.45 AED

Answers

Answer:

C. 639.45 AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal  = AED 300

Compound interest = 3.5%

Unknown:

Amount of the investment after 22yrs = ?

Solution:

Compound interest is simply interest on interest.

  The formula is given as;

           A  = P(1 + [tex]\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

where A is the final amount

            P = initial principal

            r = interest rate

           n = number of years

 Input the parameters and solve;

          A  = 300 (1 + [tex]\frac{0.035}{1} )^{22 x 1}[/tex]

          A  = 639.45

So the amount of investmet is AED 639.45
