ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

$\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}$

Replacing and solving for x:

$\begin{gathered} \cos 75=\frac{x}{9} \\ x=9\cdot\cos 75 \\ x=2.33 \end{gathered}$

The distance would be 2.33 foot

Which expression is equivalent to ^3√216x^27? 6x3 6x9 72x3 72x9

hichkok12 [17]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:
$\sqrt[3]{216 x^{27} }$
2. Rewriting the expression we have:
$\sqrt[3]{6^3 x^{27} }$
3. You have that $6^3$ and the exponent $27
$ are divisible by index $3
$ . Therefore, you have:
$\sqrt[3]{216 x^{27} } =6 x^{9}$
Therefore, as you can see,
the answer is the option, which is: $6 x^{9} 
$

Smallest square: 1

Small Square: 2, Area of 4

Mid Square: 3, Area of 9

Mid White Square: 5, Area of 25

Big Square: 8, Area of 64

1 + 4 + 9 + 64 = 78

The diagonals of a rhombus measures 6cm and 8cm, what is the perimeter of this rhombus?

Kamila [148]

<h2><u>Diagram</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(20,15)\thicklines\qbezier(1,1)(1,1)(6,1)\qbezier(1,1)(1,1)(1.6,4)\qbezier(1.6,4)(1.6,4)(6.6,4)\qbezier(6,1)(6,1)(6.6,4)\qbezier(6.6,4)(6.6,4)(1,1)\qbezier(1.6,4)(1.6,4)(6,1)\put(0.7,0.5){\sf A}\put(6,0.5){\sf B}\put(1.4,4.3){\sf D}\put(6.6,4.3){\sf C}\end{picture}$

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The diagonals of the Rhombus= d1 & d2=6cm and 8cm

Let the Side=a

As we know that in a Rhombus

${\boxed{\sf side=\sqrt {\left ({\dfrac{d1}{2}}\right)^2+\left ({\dfrac {d2}{2}}\right)^2}}}$

Substitute the values

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf a=\sqrt {\left ({\dfrac {6}{2}}\right)^2+\left ({\dfrac {8}{2}}\right)^2 }$

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf a=\sqrt {(3)^2+(4)^2}$

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf a=\sqrt {9+16}$

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf a=\sqrt{25}$

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf a=5cm$

<h2>_____________</h2><h3>Again </h3>

we know that in a Rhombus

$\boxed{\sf Perimeter=4a}$

Substitute the values

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf Perimeter=4×5$

${:}\longmapsto$ $\sf Perimeter=20cm$

$\therefore$ Perimeter of the rectangle is 20cm.
