Lateral area of the cone is given by:
LA=πr√(h²+r²)
where:
h=height
r=radius
Given that LA=287.5 yd² and r=(15/2) yds, then the height will be:
287.5=7.5π√(h²+7.5²)
solving for h we get:
(287.5/7.5π)²=h²+7.5²
thus
h²=(287.5/7.5π)²-7.5²
h²=63.1851597
 To get the slant height we use Pythagorean theorem.
c²=a²+b²
a²=h², b²=7.5²
thus
c²=h²+7.5²
c²=63.1851597+56.25
c²=119.4351597
c=10.92864~10.9 yards

Find the measure of &lt;1. A) 104 degrees, B) 76 degrees , C) 38 degrees<br> Help due in 5 minutes
Annette [7]
It’s c because the triangle is a isosceles triangle meaning both base angles are the same! So a triangle equals 180°. So you subtract 104 from 180. Then divide it by 2 since the base angles are the same

180-104= 76

76/2=38°

234 students in 9 different classrooms. What is the ratio of students to classrooms?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

26 students per classroom

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, the ratio 234 students:9 classrooms must be converted to:

s students:1 classroom

To convert the ratio, 9 was divided by 9 to get 1, and so you must also divide 234 by 9 to maintain the same ratio, which gives us the answer:

26 students: 1 classroom

The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos
VikaD [51]

Answer:

60.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the river.  The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m.  The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.

This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river.  It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.

The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation

x/15 = tan(76)

Multiply both sides by 15:

15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))

x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2
