Answer:

P = 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

PQ = 17

QR = 15

PR = 14

Using the cosine formula since the length of the three sides are given:

a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)

To find P:

QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 – 2(PQ)(PR)cos(P)

15^2 = 17^2 + 14^2 – 2(17)(14)cos(P)

225 = 289 + 196 - 476 cosP

476*CosP = 485 - 225

476*CosP = 260

CosP = 260/476

CosP = 0.5462184

P = Cos^-1(0.5462184)

P = 56.892029

P = 57°

Find the surface area of the cylinder.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

exact: 48pi cm^2

approximate: 150.8 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = 2 * (pi)r^2 + 2(pi)rh

SA = 2 * pi * (3 cm)^2 + 2(pi) * 3 cm * 5 cm

SA = pi(18 cm^2 + 30 cm^2)

SA = 48pi cm^2

SA = 150.8 cm^2
