#5 In triangle ABC, AB = 9 and BC = 15. What is the range the possible lengths for CA? Why?

CA must be in the range [15 - 9, 15 + 9] = [6, 24]
For the line segments to form a triangle the length of CA cannot be less the the difference between the other sides or greater than their sum.
At either extreme the three points A, B and C will be co-linear thus forming a triangle with area of zero

The expression sin 57° is equal to

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

$cos(33^{\circ})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$sin(57^{\circ})$

Required

Determine an equivalent expression

In trigonometry:

$sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)$

In $sin(57^{\circ})$

$\theta=57^{\circ}$

Substitute $57^{\circ}$ for $\theta$

in $sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)$

$sin(57^{\circ})= cos(90^{\circ} - 57^{\circ})$

$sin(57^{\circ})= cos(33^{\circ})$

Hence, the equivalent expression is: $cos(33^{\circ})$

In the formula A(t) = A0ekt, A(t) is the amount of radioactive material remaining from an initial amount A0 at a given time t an

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 693 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$A(t) =A_0e^{kt}$

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decomposition = 1

$A_0$ = Initial amount of the reactant

$A_t$ = amount of the reactant left = $A_0-\frac{0.1}{100}\times A_0=0.999A_0$

$0.999A_0=A_0e^{k\times 1}$

$0.999=e^k$

$k=-0.001year^{-1}$

for half life : $t=t_\frac{1}{2}$

$A_t=\frac{1}{2}A_o$

Putting in the values , we get

$\frac{1}{2}A_0=A_0e^{-0.001\times t_\frac{1}{2}$

$t_\frac{1}{2}=693 years$

Thus half life of this isotope, to the nearest year is 693.

Find segment ET. Please and thank you

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the intersecting chord theorem:

RE*ET = UE*ES

Substitute values

21 (2x+2) = 30 (x+5)

Expand:

42x+42 = 30x + 150

transpose and simplify

42x-30x = 150 - 42

12x = 108

x = 9
