The diagrams for parts A and C are included here. For part B, we have circle O. We begin by drawing two radii OA and OC, connecting points A and C to create chord AC. The radius intersects chord AC at point B, bisecting AC into equal segments AB and BC. This gives us two triangles, ΔOBA and ΔOBC, where OA equals OC (since they're radii), OB equals OB (by the reflexive property), and AB is equal to BC (as stated in the question). By applying the SSS triangle congruence criterion, we conclude that ΔOBA is congruent to ΔOBC, allowing us to deduce that ∡OBA equals ∡OBC, both measuring 90°. Thus, OB is perpendicular to AC. Moving on to part D, we again work with circle O and draw the two radii OA and OC, joining points A and C to create chord AC. The radius intersects AC at point B, where AB is perpendicular to AC, meaning ∡B equals 90°. We then consider the right triangles ΔOBA and ΔOBC, and given OA equals OC (the radii), and OB equals OB (reflexive property), we conclude through the HL triangle congruence that ΔOBA is congruent to ΔOBC. Consequently, we find BA equal to BC, thus OB bisects AC.
Average fall rate =
Detailed explanation:
Given that the position of the object is expressed as a function of time, we can compute the average velocity of the object during the first 3 seconds by determining its position at time 0 and at 3 seconds, finding the displacement over that period, and then dividing this distance by the elapsed time (3 seconds). This approach follows the concept that velocity equals distance covered divided by time spent:
Average rate of fall = (h(3) - h(0))/ 3
Average rate of fall =
1. 95 miles: 15 miles = 6.333 gallons for Kevin
2. 125 miles: 40 miles = 3.125 gallons for Amanda
3. 6.333 - 3.125 = 3.208 additional gallons for Kevin
234.25 miles. Explanation: Adding these numbers gives us 179. Using the formula 5 + (20-1) * 5 + 0.75 * 179 results in 234.25.
