Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf BC = 19.4 \ cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given:</u></h3>

θ = 71°

Adjacent = AB = 6.3 cm

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Hypotenuse = BC = ?

We will use the trigonometric ratio of cos.

\displaystyle cos \theta = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} \\\\cos \ 71 = \frac{6.3}{BC} \\\\0.33 = \frac{6.3}{BC} \\\\BC =\frac{6.3}{0.33} \\\\\boxed{BC = 19.4 \ cm}\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Will a stand that can hold up to 40 pounds support a 21-kilogram television? Explain. Use 2.2lb=1kg.
blsea [12.9K]
You would do 21kgx2.2lb=46.2lb, which means the stand couldn't support a 21kg television because it is over 40 pounds.

Trevor is analyzing a circle, y2 + x2 = 100, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
lakkis [162]
Given a circle described by the equation:
y^2+x^2=100
and a function g(x) given by the table
\begin{center}&#10;\begin{tabular}{ |c |c |c }&#10; x & g(x) \\&#10; -1 & -22 \\&#10; 0 & -20  \\&#10;1 & -18   &#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{center}

The function g(x) describes a straight line with the equation:
\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}  \\  \\  \frac{y-(-22)}{x-(-1)} = \frac{-20-(-22)}{0-(-1)}  \\  \\ \frac{y+22}{x+1} = \frac{-20+22}{0+1} = \frac{2}{1}  \\  \\ y+22=2(x+1)=2x+2 \\  \\ y=2x-20

To check if the circle and the line intersects, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the circle to see if we have a real solution.
i.e.
y^2+x^2=100 \\  \\ (2x-20)^2+x^2=100 \\  \\ 4x^2-80x+400+x^2=100 \\  \\ 5x^2-80x+300=0 \\  \\ x^2-16x+60=0 \\  \\ (x-6)(x-10)=0 \\  \\ x-6=0 \ or \ x-10=0 \\  \\ x=6 \ or \ x=10

When x = 6, y = 2(6) - 20 = 12 - 20 = -8 and when x = 10, y = 2(10) - 20 = 20 - 20 = 0

Therefore, the circle and the line intersect at the points (6, -8) and (10, 0).
