- Use Figure 10-4 to answer Exercises 4 and 5. All dimensions are in inches. 4. Find the length of D in Figure 10-4.arrow_forwardUse the map in Figure 11.2. a. Find the grid section of the Parking Garage. b. What is located in section 2C?arrow_forwardThe following problem is based on the Parallelogram Law. In the scaled drawing, each unit corresponds to 50 mph. A small airplane travels due east at 250 mph. The wind is blowing at 50 mph in the direction due north. Using the indicated diagonal and use it to determine the speed of the airplane in miles per hour.arrow_forward
- A single-threaded (or single-start) square-thread screw is shown in Figure 5-6. The lead of a screw is the distance that the screw advances in one turn (revolution). The lead is equal to the pitch in a single-threaded screw. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the leads.arrow_forwardLaying Phone Cable City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank 5 miles down the river. You will lay L miles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. See Figure 2.108. Figure 2.108 You will need the following fact about right triangles: A right triangle has two legs, which meet at the right angle, and the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. An ancient and beautiful formula, the Pythagorean theorem, relates the lengths of the three sides: Lengthofhypotenuse=Lengthofoneleg2+Lengthofotherleg2 a. Find an appropriate right triangle that shows that W=1+(5L)2 b. Find a formula for the length of the total phone cable P from City A to City B as a function of L. c. Make a graph of the total phone cable length P as a function of L, and explain what the graph is showing. d. What value of L gives the least length for the total phone cable? Draw a picture showing the least-length total phone cable.arrow_forwardUse Figure 5.19 to prove Theorem 5.4.2. Theorem 5.4.2 The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.arrow_forward
- Given: In Figure 39-12, s is the length of a side of a hexagon, r isthe radius of the inside circle, and R is the radius of the outside circle. a. What is the length of r if r equals the product of 0.866 and the length of a side of the hexagon? b. What is the length of R if R equals the product of 1.155 and the radius of the inside circle? c. What is the area of the hexagon if the area equals the product of 2.598 and the square of the radius of the outside circle?arrow_forwardUse the information given in Figure 1 to find x, h, s, and r if y=3. (Note: s is the distance from A to D. and y is the distance from D to B .)arrow_forward
