Since S is a point on the segment QR, then:

QS+SR=QR

Use the diagram and trigonometric relationships to find the value of QS and QR. Then, use the above equation to solve for SR.

In the right triangle PQS, the side QS is opposite to the angle of 32º, and the side PQ is adjacent to the angle of 32º. Then, use the tangent trigonometric function to relate PQ to QS:

\tan\left(32º\right)=\frac{QS}{PQ}

Isolate QS and replace PQ=14:

\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow QS=PQ\cdot\tan\mleft(32º\mright) \\ \operatorname{\Rightarrow}QS=14\tan\mleft(32º\mright) \end{gathered}

On the other hand, notice that the side QR in the right triangle PQR is opposite to the angle QPR, which has a measure of 32º+24º=56º.

Then, by a similar reasoning, we can use again the tangent function to find QR:

\begin{gathered} \tan\mleft(56º\mright)=\frac{QR}{PQ} \\ \Rightarrow QR=PQ\cdot\tan\mleft(56º\mright) \\ \Rightarrow QR=14\cdot\tan\mleft(56º\mright) \end{gathered}

We have found expressions for QS and QR in terms of trigonometric relationships. Then, we can find an expression for SR:

\begin{gathered} QS+SR=QR \\ \Rightarrow SR=QR-QS \end{gathered}

Replace the expressions for QR and QS:

SR=14\tan\mleft(56º\mright)-14\tan\mleft(32º\mright)

Use a calculator to find decimal expressions for tan(56º) and tan(32º). Then, find SR:

\begin{gathered} SR=14\times1.482560969...-14\times0.6248693519... \\ \Rightarrow SR=12.00768263... \end{gathered}

Therefore, to the nearest tenth, the length of the side SR (or RS, which is the same) is 12.0.

slant height of a right cone is 5 inches, and radius of its base is 3 inches, what is the lateral area?
Alik [6]
*Hint: The formula for the lateral surface area of a right cone is LA= Πrs

All we have to do is plug in and solve.

LA= Π(3)(5)
LA = 15Π
LA = 47.1238898

The lateral surface area is around 48 inches.

3. We can see that
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
.................
and so on
From 1 to 100, there are 50 pairs that has the sum is 101
Z=101×50=5050
4. We can see that
1-2=-1
3-4=-1
5-6=-1
...........
and so on
There are 10 pairs that has sum is -1
Z= 10×(-1)=-10

Anyone know how the graph is suppose to go?
zheka24 [161]
Remark
You have given the second best answer. Your answer is |x|<1. You should have open circles at 1 and - 1. 

Solution
I have enclosed a graph that is not a number line. You could confine yourself to a number line just by tracing out the blue solution (which is the answer you want)

The red solution is what you did.
The blue solution does not include x = 1 nor does it include x = - 1. The number line would show 1 < x < ∞ and  -∞ < x < -1

Please help I will give 10 points​
vazorg [7]

Answer:

x = 13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a right-angled triangle.

so, we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

where c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

so, in our case

17² = 10² + x²

289 = 100 + x²

189 = x²

x = 13.75

When You divide numbers it makes the value smaller so subtracting the exponents will make the value with that base smaller
