The correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

To prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex], we can use the triangle similarity and the Pythagorean theorem. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC with right angle at A and segment AD perpendicular to segment BC.

By triangle similarity, triangle ABD is similar to triangle ABC. This is because angle A is common, and angle BDA is a right angle (as AD is perpendicular to BC).

Using the proportionality of similar triangles, we can write the following ratio:

[tex]$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AB}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we get:

[tex]$AB^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Similarly, using triangle similarity, triangle ACD is also similar to triangle ABC. This gives us:

[tex]$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AC}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]$AC^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Now, we can substitute the derived expressions into the original equation:

[tex]$BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$\\$BC^2 = (BC \cdot AD) + (BC \cdot AD)$\\$BC^2 = 2 \cdot BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

It was made possible by cross-product property.

Therefore, the correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

The resulting mixture contains approximately 64.5% alcohol, not 58.6% as you mentioned.

We can calculate the weighted average of the alcohol percentages based on the volumes of each component.

Let's figure out how much alcohol there is overall in the mixture:

Total alcohol is calculated as follows: (Volume of 45% alcohol) * (Property of 45% alcohol) + (Volume of 82% alcohol) * (Property of 82% alcohol) + (Volume of 92% alcohol) * (Property of 92% alcohol).

Total alcohol = (5 liters) * (45%) + (4 liters) * (82%) + (1 liter) * (92%)

Total alcohol = 2.25 liters + 3.28 liters + 0.92 liters

Total alcohol = 6.45 liters

Let's now determine the amount of alcohol included in the final mixture:

Alcohol content is calculated as (total alcohol / total mixture volume) * 100.

The mixture's total volume is  = 5 liters + 4 liters + 1 liter = 10 liters

Alcohol content: (6.45 liters / 10 liters) x 100 = 64.5%

Therefore, the resulting mixture contains approximately 64.5% alcohol, not 58.6% as you mentioned.

a. The surface area of the cylinder is 120π square units.

b. Assuming the diameter and the height of the cylinder are cut in half, the surface area of the cylinder would be reduced by a scale factor of 1/4.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the surface area (SA) of a cylinder can be calculated by using this mathematical equation (formula):

SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

Where:

Note: Radius = diameter/2 = 8/2 = 4 m.

By substituting the side lengths into the formula for the surface area (SA) of a cylinder, we have the following;

Surface area = 2πrh + 2πr²

Surface area = 2(π)(4)(11) + 2(π)(4²)

Surface area = 120π square units.

Part b.

Assuming the diameter and the height of the cylinder are cut in half, we have:

Surface area = 2(π)(4/2)(11/2) + 2(π)((4/2)²)

Surface area = 2(π)(2)(5.5) + 2(π)(2²)

Surface area = (π)(2)(11) + 2(π)(4)

Surface area = 22π + 8π

Surface area = 30π square units.

For a probability distribution to be represented, it is needed that P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.44. Hence one possible example is:

P(X = 0) = 0.40.

P(X = 1) = 0.04.

Discrete random variable to represent a probability distribution =

The sum of all the probabilities must be of 1, hence:

P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 1.

Then, considering the table:

P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + 0.15 + 0.17 + 0.24 = 1

P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + 0.56 = 1

P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.44.

Hence one possible value is:

P(X = 0) = 0.40.

62) through: (3,0), parallel to y = 1/8x - 3. If a line is parallel to another, they have the same slope. Therefore the slope is 1/8.

For line equation⇒ (y - y1 = m(x - x1))

Substituting (3,0) and slope 1/8 gives us:

(y = mx + b) ⇒ y - 0 = 1/8 × (x - 3)

First, substitute the point and the slope into the equation: 0 = 1/8×3 + b

Then solve for b, the y-intercept: b = -3/8

⇒ y = 1/8x - 3/8

64) through: (5, 0), perp. to y= -5x - 4. If a line is perpendicular to another, their slopes are negative reciprocals. The slope of y = -5x - 4 is -5, so the slope of the line we are looking for is -1/(-5) = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Heron's formula, we can easily find the area of the triangle formed by Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, we need to use the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

Let,

Side a: Distance from Miami to Bermuda = 1042 miles

Side b: Distance from Bermuda to San Juan = 965 miles

Side c: Distance from San Juan to Miami = 1038 miles

Now we can use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle:

s =[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

s = [tex]\frac{1042 + 965 + 1038}{2}=1522.5[/tex] miles

A = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

A = [tex]\sqrt{1522.5(1522.5-1042)(1522.5-965)(1522.5-1038)}=444523.45[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the triangle formed by Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan is approximately 444523.45 square miles.

Answer:

444,523.45 square miles (2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle formed by the locations of Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, use Heron's formula.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8 cm}\underline{Heron's Formula}\\\\$A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A$ is the area of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a, b$ and $c$ are the side lengths of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $s$ is half the perimeter.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Label the three sides of the triangle as 'a', 'b', and 'c', where 'a' is the distance from Miami to Bermuda (1042 miles), 'b' is the distance from Bermuda to San Juan (965 miles), and 'c' is the distance from San Juan to Miami (1038 miles):

To find the half perimeter, s, half the sum of the three side lengths:

[tex]\implies s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}=\dfrac{1042+965+1038}{2}=1522.5[/tex]

Substitute the values of a, b, c and s into Heron's formula and solve for area, A:

[tex]\begin{aligned}A&=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\&=\sqrt{1522.5(1522.5-1042)(1522.5-965)(1522.5-1038)}\\&=\sqrt{1522.5(480.5)(557.5)(484.5)}\\&=444523.4468348...\\&=444523.45\; \sf miles^2\;(2\;d.p.)\end{aligned}[/tex]

The slopes of the lines connecting all the points are distinct. Hence, they form a triangle.

To show that the points (2, 5), (5, 2), and (6, 6) form a triangle, we can calculate the slopes of the lines connecting these points. If the slopes are all distinct, then the points form a triangle.

Let's calculate the slopes:

The slope between (2, 5) and (5, 2):

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (2 - 5) / (5 - 2)

= -3/3

= -1

The slope between (2, 5) and (6, 6):

m₂ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (6 - 5) / (6 - 2)

= 1/4

The slope between (5, 2) and (6, 6):

m₃ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (6 - 2) / (6 - 5)

= 4/1

= 4

To find the surface area of the box, we need to find the area of each face and then add them all up.

The top and bottom of the box are both 10 inches by 14 inches, so the area of each of these faces is:

= 10 x 14

The sides of the box are both 14 inches by 8 inches, so the area of each of these faces is:

The front and back of the box are both 8 inches by 10 inches, so the area of each of these faces is:

8 x 10

To find the surface area of the whole box, we add up the areas of all six faces:

Put 0 in the front box.

this is because you cant divide 11 apples equally into 6 people; 11 isn't a multiple of 6

To find the length of arc LM, we need to use the formula for the circumference of a circle:

C = 2πr

In this case, the arc LM is a portion of the circumference of the circle. To find the length of the arc, we need to determine the angle at the center of the circle that corresponds to the arc.

Looking at the image you provided, we can see that angle LOM is a right angle (90 degrees). The angle at the center of the circle, LOCM, is half of the right angle, which is 45 degrees.

To calculate the length of arc LM, we need to find the fraction of the total circumference represented by the central angle LOCM. The fraction is given by:

Fraction of circumference = Angle at center / 360 degrees

Fraction of circumference = 45 degrees / 360 degrees

Fraction of circumference = 1/8

Now, we can calculate the length of arc LM:

Length of arc LM = Fraction of circumference * Circumference

Length of arc LM = (1/8) * (2πr)

Since the radius (r) is not given in the image, we cannot calculate the exact length of arc LM. However, we can provide the formula for the length of arc LM in terms of the radius:

Length of arc LM = (1/8) * (2πr) = πr/4

So, the length of arc LM is πr/4, where r is the radius of the circle.

If you have the value of the radius, you can substitute it into the formula to find the specific length of arc LM.
