Geometry:
you
a company is replacing cables with fiber optic lines in rectangular casing bcde. if segment de = 2.5 cm and segment be = 3 cm, what is the smallest diameter of pipe that will fit the fiber optic line? round your answer to the nearest hundredth
a. 3.54 cm
b. 3.91 cm
c. 4.24 cm
d. 4.95 cm

i believe the answer is c.

0

step-by-step explanation:

equals the constant of proportionality.

solve for

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

step-by-step explanation:

its payment history because your score is mainly based on how consistent u are with your payment and if there on time. hope this : )
