The angle the beam makes with the pool surface is 29.72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Data:</u>

The spotlight and surface of a swimming pool makes a 90 degree angle.

Spotlight stand is 3m (Opposite)

Beam of light hits the water 7m away from the base of light (base)

Angle = ?

<u>Use sin to solve</u>

Formula:

Tan (Angle) = \frac{Opposite}{Base}

Solution:

Sin (Angle) = \frac{3}{7}

Angle = tan^{-1} (0.571)

Angle = 29.72°

Therefore, the angle the beam makes with the pool surface is 29.72°.

Find the measure of Q, the smallest angle in the triangle whose sides have lengths 4-5, and 6. Round the measure to the nearest
kakasveta [241]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that PQR is a triangle.

The measures of the sides of the triangle are 4,5 and 6.

We need to determine the measure of ∠Q.

<u>Measure of ∠Q:</u>

The measure of ∠Q can be determined using the law of cosines formula.

Thus, we have;

\cos (Q)=\frac{p^{2}+r^{2}-q^{2}}{2 p r}

Substituting p = 6, q = 4, r = 5, we get;

\cos (Q)=\frac{6^{2}+5^{2}-4^{2}}{2 (6)(5)}

Simplifying, we get;

\cos (Q)=\frac{36+25-16}{2 (30)}

\cos (Q)=\frac{45}{60}

Dividing, we get;

\cos (Q)=0.75

      Q=cos^{-1}(0.75)

      Q=41^{\circ}

Thus, the measure of ∠Q is 41°

Hence, Option b is the correct answer.

Original Price: $.75<br> Discount: ? <br> Sale Price: $.15<br> What’s the discount
Drupady [299]
First we find out what percent the sale price is of the original price.

0.15 / 0.75 x 100 = 20%

Then we subtract this from 100% to get the discount:

100 - 20 = 80% discount
