Find Q

  • tanQ=Perpendicular/Base
  • tanQ=4/15
  • tanQ=0.26
  • Q=tan^-¹(0.26)
  • Q=14.6°

Not safe

Apply Pythagorean theorem

PR²=4²+15²=16+225=241

  • PR=√241

Answer:

a) not safe

b) 15.5 ft (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Part (a)</u></h3>

<u>Tan trig ratio</u>

\sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}

where:

  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • A is the side adjacent the angle

Given:

  • \theta = x
  • O = PV = 4 ft
  • A = RV = VQ = 15 ft

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for x:

\implies \sf \tan(x)=\dfrac{4}{15}

\implies \sf x=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{4}{15}\right)

\implies \sf x=14.9^{\circ}\:(nearest\:tenth)

As 14.9° is not between 18° and 27°, the roof is not safe.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3><u>Part (b)</u></h3>

<u>Pythagoras’ Theorem</u>

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

Given:

  • a = RV = VQ = 15 ft
  • b = PV = 4 ft
  • c = PR

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for PR:

\implies \sf 15^2+4^2=PR^2

\implies \sf 225+16=PR^2

\implies \sf PR^2=241

\implies \sf PR=\sqrt{241}

\implies \sf PR=15.5\:ft\:(nearest\:tenth)

Evaluate this expression. 5^-3
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

\Huge \boxed{\frac{1}{125}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Order of operations</h2>

PEMDAS

Parenthesis, exponent, multiply, divide, add, and subtract from left to right.

Do exponent.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{5^3}

\displaystyle 5^3=5\times5\times5=125

\displaystyle \frac{1}{125}=125

\large \boxed{\frac{1}{125}}, which is our answer.

Hope this helps!

3. The formula to find the surface area of a sphere is to take the radius of the sphere and square it and multiply that amount b
KatRina [158]
The way to get the equation for the radius (r) is to get r by itself. So divide each side by 4pi
500/4pi=r^2
Now take the square root of each side to get the equation of r.
sqrt(500/4pi)=r
