Answer:

A) \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right triangle, we need to find the missing side AC using the Pythagorean theorem.

The theorem said that the sum of the square of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Here hypotenuse AB = 40, one side BC = 12

AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2

Now plug in the given values and find the missing side AC.

AC^2 + 12^2 = 40^2

AC^2 + 144 = 1600

AC^2 = 1600 - 144\\AC^2 = 1456

Taking square root on both sides, we get

AC =4√91

Now we have to find the tanA.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here Opposite side = BC and Adjacent side AC of angle A.

Therefore,

tanA = BC/AC

tanA = \frac{12}{4\sqrt{91} }

Since we have radical in the denominator, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by √91, we get

tan A = \frac{12*\sqrt{91} }{4\sqrt{91}\sqrt{91}  }

tan A = \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

AC = √(40²-12²) = √(1600-144) = √1456 = 4√91

tanA = 12/4√91 = 3/√91 = 3√91/91

It's 21 square units. If you map it on a complex plane (x-axis is real numbers, y-axis is imaginary numbers) you'll see that the sides of the rectangle is 3 and 7 which multiply to 21.

A cylinder has a radius of 5 feet and a height of 8 feet. Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of a cone t
Lilit [14]
The answer is 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8) 

The volume of the cylinder (V1) is:
V1 = π · r² · h                (r - radius, h - height)

The volume of the cone (V2) is:
V2 = 1/3 π · r² · h         (r - radius, h - height)

It is given:
r = 5 feet
h = 8 feet
π = 3.14

Therefore, the volume of the cone is:
V2 = 1/3 · 3.14 · 5² · 8   which is the same as 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8).

What is the standard form of (6x^2-8x-7)+(8x^2-76x)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:  14x^2 - 84x - 7

====================================================

Explanation:

The like terms 6x^2 and 8x^2 combine to 14x^2

The like terms -8x and -76x combine to -84x

Nothing pairs with the -7, so its stays as is.

Standard form is where we list the terms in decreasing exponent order. We can think of -84x as -84x^1 and the -7 as -7x^0. So 14x^2 - 84x - 7 would be the same as 14x^2 - 84x^1 - 7x^0. The exponents count down: 2,1,0.

The final answer is a trinomial since it has three terms. It is also a quadratic because the degree (highest exponent) is 2.
