The sum of the measures of the internal angles of all triangles is 180, so since mRTQ = mSTQ (defn bisector) and mR = mS (given), mRQT = mSQT (set up an equation and use Transitive Equality. But RQS is a straight angle and mRQS = mRQT + mSQT. The defn of a straight angle and a little algebra says that mRQT = mSQT = 90 degrees. Hence TQ RS by defn perpendicular.

Volume/626398: Hi, My husband needs to build a fuel/chemical tank for work out of a cylinder pipe. It needs to hold 15 gallons but he isn't sure what length and diameter the pipe needs to be (in inches/feet) to achieve his goal. I am stumped on how to even find an equation for something such as this. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

15 gallons is equivalent to 3465 cubic inches (Google "15 gallons in cubic inches" if you want to check for yourself)

The number of cubic inches in a cylinder is given by:



Theoretically, there are infinite solutions to the equation:



But from a practical, real-world point of view, pipe comes in standard size diameters. So he needs to pick a diameter that he wants to use. Then he needs to follow the following steps:

1. Make sure he measures the inside diameter (ID) of the pipe.

2. Divide the pipe ID by 2 to get the radius.

3. Square the radius.

4. Multiply the squared radius by an appropriate approximation of . 3.14 should do nicely.

5. Divide 3465 by the result of step 4 and round to whatever precision makes him happy and that is the length of the pipe of the chosen diameter that he needs.

For example, let's say that he decides to use a 10" ID pipe. Half of 10 is 5. 5 squared is 25. 25 times 3.14 is 78.5. 3465 divided by 78.5 is approximately 44.14, or roughly 44 11/16 inches which is the length of 10" ID pipe he needs.

20 inch diameter pipe is 1/4 of that length.

And so on...

Quadratic_Equations/626391: Give exact and approximate solutions to three decimal places
y^2-20y+100=16
What are the exact solutions?
y=?
(Type an exact answer as needed)
(Rationalize all denominators)
(express complex numbers in terms of I)
(use a comma to separate answers as needed)
There are no approximate solutions since the solutions are integers
Does this mean that:
1)y^2 is the ^2 of y
2)+100=10^2
3)ignoring the sign (-) on -20, the product of square roots of 1st and 3rd term = 2*y*10 (20y)
4)y = (y-10)^2=16
y-10= ±4
y = 10 ±5
Am I doing this right?

Don't try to do anything until your equation is in standard form, which is to say all of it in the LHS and the RHS is zero. In other words, it needs to look like:



So, in your case, add -16 to both sides:



Now you can factor and use the Zero Product Rule. Note -6 times -14 is 84 and -6 plus -14 is -20.

Percentage-and-ratio-word-problems/626319: if a company ownership is divided in the ratio of 3:2:1 what is the percentage of each ownership? Three owners I thought it would be 50%,33%,17% but I am not sure that it shouldn't be 50,30,20

Since the ownership is in the ratio 3:2:1, there are 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 shares and one guy has 3 out of 6 or 50%, the next has 2 out of 6 or 1/3, which is approximately 33%, and the last has 1 out of 6, or 1/6, which is slightly less than 17%.

Notice that 50% is roughly 3 times 17% and 33 percent is roughly 2 times 17%. But if your 50 30 20 were correct, then three times 20 would equal 50 and two times 20 would equal 30. Not even close.

The vertex of the parabola defined by is the point where and .

The equation of the axis of symmetry is

The maximum or minimum of is . If the lead coefficient is positive, i.e. , then the parabola opens upward and the vertex is a minimum. If the lead coefficient is negative, i.e. , the parabola opens downward and the vertex is a maximum.

Graph: Plot the vertex. Plot the point which is the -intercept. Then by symmetry, is also on the graph. Set the function equal to zero and solve for the two roots and (use the quadratic formula or complete the square since your example doesn't factor). Plot the two points, and . That gives you 5 points through which you can draw a smooth curve.

If you want more points, pick a convenient distance from the vertex. Then calculate the value of the function , then plot the point . Then, by symmetry you can also plot . You can repeat this process with as many different values of as you like.

Start with either one of your equations.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.

Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.

Step 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the other equation.

The point where the lines intersect is the solution, because the coordinates of that point will satisfy (read: make true) both of your equations. You need to determine, by inspection of the graph, what the coordinates of that point are and report your answer as an ordered pair, (x,y), using those coordinates. To check your answer, you should substitute this set of coordinates into each of your original equations and verify that you have a true statement for each of the equations.

If both lines graph to the same line, then the solution set is infinite, i.e. every ordered pair that satisfies one equation will satisfy the other. If the lines are parallel, then the solution set is empty.

A consistent system has at least one solution.

An inconsistent system has no solutions.

An independent system has exactly one solution.

A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.

Therefore a system can be either consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.

To check, take the -coordinate of your solution point and substitute for in either one of your equations, then take the -coordinate of your solution point and substitute for in that same equation. Do the arithmetic. If the result is a true statement, then the point is a solution of that equation. Repeat the process with the other equation.

If the point is a solution of BOTH equations, then it is a solution of the system of equations.
