Universal Studios is looking to expand in Ontario. The new theme park will be located equidistant to
Newmarket, N (2,8), Markham, M (7,3) and Vaughan, V (-2, 0). Determine the location of the new
theme park if it is located at the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.
Answers
===============================================
Explanation:
For now, we're only going to consider Newmarket and Markham, which are points N and M respectively.
Let's find the slope of line NM through use of the slope formula.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (3-8)/(7-2)
m = -5/5
m = -1
Line NM has a slope of -1. Its perpendicular slope is +1 or just 1.
Rule: If the slopes multiply to -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
Or you can apply the negative reciprocal rule to go from -1 to 1.
We'll keep this perpendicular slope in mind for later.
----------------
Now let's find the midpoint of points N and M.
Add up the x coordinates and divide by 2: (x1+x2)/2 = (2+7)/2 = 4.5
Do the same for the y coordinates: (y1+y2)/2 = (8+3)/2 = 5.5
The midpoint of N and M is at (4.5, 5.5)
The perpendicular line must go through these two points. I'm going to skip a few steps here, but basically we go from y = mx+b to y = x+1 after plugging in those x,y values and the perpendicular m we found earlier.
--------------------
In short, the perpendicular bisector for line segment NM is the equation y = x+1.
If you follow the same steps as the previous two sections, but you apply them for points M and V instead, then you should find that the perpendicular bisector is y = -3x+9. I'm skipping steps here as well.
----------------------
At this point, we have the system of equations
[tex]\begin{cases}y = x+1\\y = -3x+9\end{cases}[/tex]
Let's use substitution to solve for x and y
y = x+1
-3x+9 = x+1
-3x-x = 1-9
-4x = -8
x = -8/(-4)
x = 2
y = x+1
y = 2+1
y = 3
So together, x = 2 and y = 3 pair up to get the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (2,3)
This is the location where the theme park should be placed. Let's say that C = (2,3). I'm using C for center.
You can use the distance formula to confirm that segments CN, CM and CV are all the same length, which would verify that point C is equidistant from all the other points. Furthermore, it means that points N, M and V are all on the same circle centered at C.
I know it says not to use a graph, but it still helps to see what's going on. Also, it's a handy way to confirm the answer. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. See the diagram below.
Side note: you only need 2 perpendicular bisectors to find point C. You could use three, but that's overkill since they all intersect at the same location.

The first and second steps to solve the equation 3x/5+5=20 are shown below
Answers
Answer:
The solution of the equation is:
x = 25.Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation:
[tex]\frac{3x}{5}+5=20[/tex]First, you must add the terms 3x/5 and 5:
[tex]\frac{3x+25}{5}=20[/tex]Now, you pass the number that is dividing (5), to multiply to the other side of the equality and operate:
3x + 25 = 20 * 53x + 25 = 100Next, you pass the number that is adding (25), to subtract to the other side of the equality and operate:
3x = 100 - 253x = 75At last, you pass the number that is multiplying the unknown variable, to divide to the other side of the equality and operate:
[tex]x=\frac{75}{3}[/tex]x = 25If we use this value in the original equation, we can prove if it's the correct:
[tex]\frac{3x}{5}+5=20[/tex][tex]\frac{3*25}{5}+5=20[/tex][tex]\frac{75}{5}+5=20[/tex][tex]15+5=20[/tex]20 = 20As you can see, the result x = 25 is the correct.

ABCF AND EFGH ARE CONGRUENT PARALLELGRAMS. AD = 10cm, MC = 8cm, and the area of ABCD is 112cm^2. What is the number of centimeters in EN? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth
Answers
The image to the question is attached below.
Answer: The value of EN is 11.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
The parallelograms ABCD and EFGH are congruent, which simply means
AB = EF
BC = FG
CD = GH and
AD = EH
Area of ABCD = area of EFGH
Also, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. Thus,
AB = EF = CD = GH
BC = FG = AD = EH
It is given:
[tex]AD=10cm=FG\\\\\text{Area of ABCD}=112cm^2=\text{Area of EFGH}[/tex]
To calculate the area of a parallelogram, we use the equation:
[tex]Area=b\times h[/tex]
where, for parallelogram EFGH
b = base = FG = 10 cm
h = height = EN = ?
Area = [tex]112cm^2[/tex]
Plugging values in above equation, we get:
[tex]112cm^2=10cm\times EN\\\\EN=\frac{112cm^2}{10cm}=11.2cm[/tex]
Hence, the value of EN is 11.2 cm

cost price of an umbrella = 280
selling price of an umbrella = 320
profit% = SP - CP / CP *100%

b) The marked price of a bicycle is Rs. 2000. If the shopkeeper allows some discount and a customer bought it for Rs. 1921 including 13% VAT, how much amount was given as the dis
count?
Answers
Answer:
Rs. 300
Step-by-step explanation:
The bicycle marked price = Rs. 2000
The amount the customer bought the bike given that there was some discount allowed by the shopkeeper including VAT = Rs. 1921
The VAT applied = 13%
The amount given as the discount = Required
The VAT is applied to the selling price
Let d represent the discount amount, we have;
The selling price = 2000 - d
The amount paid as VAT = (2,000 - d) × 13% = (2,000 - d) × 0.13
The amount the customer bought it including VAT = The selling price + The amount paid as VAT
The amount the customer bought it including VAT = Rs. 1921
∴ 1921 = 2000 - d + (2,000 - d) × 0.13 = 2,260 - 1.13·d
1.13·d = 2,260 - 1,921 = 339
d = 339/1.13 = 300
The amount given as discount, d = Rs. 300

The expected (mean) life of a particular type of light bulb is 1000 hours with a standard deviation of 50 hours. The life of this world is normally distributed what is the probability that a randomly selected bulb would last fewer than 940 hours?
Answers
Answer:
11.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the knowledge that there are z score tables that calculate probabilities based on z scores. Thus, we must calculate the z score.
The z score formula is [tex]\frac{x- m}{s}[/tex] , where x is the value, m is the mean, and s is the standard deviation. We can then plug our values in to get [tex]\frac{940-1000}{50} = \frac{-60}{50} = -1.2[/tex] as our z score. Plugging this into a table where table values represent the area to the left of the z score (as we want to calculate everything under 940), we get 0.115, or 11.5% as our answer

A cylinder with 1/4 of a section removed has a radius of 4 cm for the base and a height of 10 cm.
Determine the approximate volume of the solid. Use 3.14 for pi. cm3
Answers
Answer:
Volume of the solid is 377 cm³.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the cylinder = [tex]\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
Here, r = radius of the cylinder
h = Height of the cylinder
By substituting the values in the formula, (r = 4 cm and h = 10 cm)
Volume of the cylinder = [tex]\pi (4)^2(10)[/tex]
= 160π
Since one fourth of the cylinder is removed,
Volume of the remaining cylinder = 160π - [tex]\frac{160\pi }{4}[/tex]
= 160π - 40π
= 120π
= 120(3.14)
= 376.8 cm³
≈ 377 cm³
Volume of the solid is 377 cm³.
