Question

4. I've been seeing a lot of birds in my backyard lately and would like to get a birdhouse for them. I found one I like; however, I'm not sure if its height will fit between the tree branches where I think it should go. The bottom base (blue line) is 10 inches across and from the top of the birdhouse to edge of the bottom base (white line) is 8 inches. The space between the top and bottom branches where I would like it to go is 6 inches tall. Will the bird house fit? Why or why not? Show all work and answer with a complete sentence.

Here is a diagram of a birdhouse Elena is planning to build. (It is a simplified diagram, since in reality, the sides will have a thickness.) About how many square inches of wood does she need to build this birdhouse?

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 5 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points B and D are 13 km apart. (a) Suppose flying over water takes 1.4 times as much energy per kilometer as flying over land. Then how far should point C be from B to minimize the total energy the bird expends as it returns to its nesting area? 5.1 km (b) If the bird flies to the shore at point x kilometers from B on its trip from the island to the nest, determine the ratio of energy spent over water to energy spent over land. (Your answer should depend only on x.) W/L =

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on the shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points B and D are 12 km apart. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.4 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio W/L in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 3 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?

00:01 In problem five, we are shown a diagram of a birdhouse that elena is planning to build.
00:07 And we're asked to determine about how many square inches of wood will she need to build this birdhouse.
00:13 So we're basically asked what is the surface area of this birdhouse.
00:17 So what i'm going to do here is find the area of each of these sides, and then go ahead and add them together at the end.
00:26 So here we have 5 .5 times 9 .25 for the front.
00:42 We multiply those together.
00:46 Get 50 .875 inches squared.
00:53 Then over here, i'm going to go ahead and find the surface area of this portion.
01:01 To do that, i'm going to have to cut this off right here.
01:08 So i'm going to do 9 .25 times 5 .5 again.
01:12 So that's actually going to be the same for all three of these sides.
01:17 So i'm going to go ahead and multiply that by three, which gives me 152 .6255 inches cubed.
01:32 So that's for front and sides...
