Analytic Geometry: Centroid

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of Mathematics

Consider a triangle ABC in the Cartesian plane, where A = (2,3), B = (4,1), and C = (6,5). An Architecture student is designing a new building and wants to position a support pillar at the centroid of the triangle, which is the point of intersection of the medians. A sensor spring will be installed at the top of the pillar to measure the force exerted by the structure. The force measured by the spring is directly proportional to the sum of the squares of the distances from the pillar to the vertices. Calculate the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle and then calculate the sum of the squares of the distances from the centroid to the vertices of the triangle. Based on this information, explain how the centroid can be a strategic location for the installation of the pillar, considering the principles of balance and force distribution in architectural structures.

Pedro and Maria are playing a race. Pedro ran for 15 minutes and Maria ran for 1/4 of an hour. Who ran for a longer time? Justify your answer. In addition, they measured the distance they ran with a tape measure. If Pedro ran 300 meters and Maria ran 0.3 kilometers, who ran a longer distance? Explain your answer using what you know about units of length and time measurement.

In a renovation, an architect decides to completely cover a right prism with a square base with ceramic tiles that are in the shape of squares. The prism is 3 meters high and the edge of the base measures 2 meters. The tiles are 20 cm on each side. The architect will need to calculate the amount of tiles to cover the entire surface of the prism. How many tiles will be needed to completely cover the prism?

In a large engineering system, a building is being designed and energy efficiency is a major concern. To ensure the efficiency of heating and cooling, the air conditioning system must be sized according to the specific needs of the building. The engineer in charge of the project must solve a system of linear equations to determine the ideal operating temperatures. Let the following be the system of equations that models the thermal behavior of the building: 2x + y + 3z = 10, 4x - 6y + 8z = 5, 3x + 7y + 5z = 18. The engineer must rewrite this system of equations in the matrix form Ax = b, where A is the matrix of coefficients, x is the vector of unknowns, and b is the vector of constant terms.
