Pour montrer que les lignes perpendiculaires tracĂ©es depuis les sommets d’un carrĂ© vers les cĂŽtĂ©s opposĂ©s sont concourantes en un point Ă  l’intĂ©rieur du carrĂ©, nous pouvons utiliser la rotation gĂ©omĂ©trique. ConsidĂ©rons un carrĂ© ABCD contenant un point P. Nous montrerons que les droites perpendiculaires tracĂ©es respectivement de A, B, C et D vers BP, CP, DP et AP se coupent en un seul point. 1. Dessinez le segment de droite AP et construisez une ligne perpendiculaire de A Ă  BP. Appelons X l'intersection de cette ligne perpendiculaire et de BP. 2. Effectuons maintenant une rotation du carrĂ© de 90 degrĂ©s dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre autour du point A. Cette rotation mappe le point B au point C, le point C au point D et le point D au point P. Le segment de droite BP est mappĂ© au segment de droite. CP. 3. AprĂšs la rotation, la droite perpendiculaire de C Ă  CP coĂŻncide avec la droite perpendiculaire d’origine de B Ă  BP. Par consĂ©quent, le carrĂ© pivotĂ© ABCD a la mĂȘme propriĂ©té : les droites perpendiculaires allant de B, C et D Ă  CP, DP et AP, respectivement, se coupent Ă©galement au point X. 4. RĂ©pĂ©tez le processus pour les sommets restants du carrĂ©. Effectuez successivement des rotations de 90 degrĂ©s dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre autour des points B, C et D. Chaque rotation mappe le carrĂ© sur lui-mĂȘme et prĂ©serve la propriĂ©tĂ© des lignes perpendiculaires concurrentes. Par consĂ©quent, les lignes perpendiculaires allant de A, B, C et D Ă  BP, CP, DP et AP, respectivement, se coupent toutes au point X, qui est le point d'intersection de toutes les lignes perpendiculaires pivotĂ©es. Ainsi, nous avons montrĂ© que les lignes perpendiculaires tracĂ©es depuis les sommets A, B, C et D du carrĂ© jusqu’aux cĂŽtĂ©s opposĂ©s BP, CP, DP et AP, respectivement, sont concourantes en un point Ă  l’intĂ©rieur du carrĂ©.

Farm Grown, Inc., produces cases of perishable food products. Each case contains an assortment of vegetables and other farm products. Each case costs $5 and sells for $15. If there are any not sold by the end of the day, they are sold to a large food processing company for $3 a case. The probability that daily demand will be 100 cases is 0.30, the probability that daily demand will be 200 cases is 0.40, and the probability that daily demand will be 300 cases is 0.30. Farm Grown has a policy of always satisfying customer demands. If its own supply of cases is less than the demand, it buys the necessary vegetables from a competitor. The estimated cost of doing this is $16 per case. (a) Draw a decision table for this problem (b) What do you recommend?

Matilde knows that, when driving her car from her office to her apartment, she spends a normal time of x minutes. In the last week, you have noticed that when driving at 50 mph (miles per hour), you arrive home 4 minutes earlier than normal, and when driving at 40 mph, you arrive home 5 minutes earlier later than normal. If the distance between your office and your apartment is y miles, calculate x + y.
