Powered by AITo find the concurrency, solve 2x - y = 4 and x + y = 5. Solving these, we find x = 3 and y = 2. Checking other given lines, line 2x - y = 6 passes through (3, 2), making it concurrent.
Using Heron's formula to find the area and applying it to find the circumradius (R),\( S = \frac{1}{2} \cdot bc \cdot \sin(A) \) with area different formula. Solving yields the circumference as approximately 6π.
Using the given angle of 60 degrees when the comet is 100 million miles away, we can use geometric and trigonometric methods to calculate the closest approach. The answer is 50 million miles.
Since there are 7 days in a week, to ensure more than a 50% chance (at least an even chance) that two people have the same birthday, at least \(7/2 = 3.5\), rounded up, implying at least 4 people must be present. Thus, the minimum number of people is 4.
The lines are parallel because they have the same normal vector (3, -4). The distance between them \( d = \frac{|-5 - 20|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{25}{5} = 5 \). Hence, when a circle is tangent to both, its diameter equals this distance, which is 5.
There are 1000 couples. Among husbands taller than their wives, two-thirds are also heavier. Three-quarters of those heavier than their wives are taller. Subtracting 120 wives, 880 husbands remain to be considered. The number of husbands who are both taller and heavier than their wives is 880.
The sides of the triangle formed by connecting the circle centers are 25 cm, 33 cm, and 36 cm. Utilizing Heron's formula, yield area = 399 sq. cm.
The period of the sine function y = sin(ax) is given by \( \frac{2\pi}{a} \). To find the value of 'a' that results in a period of 3π, set \( \frac{2\pi}{a} = 3\pi \). Solving for 'a', we have \( a = \frac{2\pi}{3\pi} = \frac{2}{3} \). Therefore, the correct value of 'a' is 2/3.
