A diagonal of a rectangle is 8cm and forms an angle measuring 30 with one side. Find the area of a rectangle

Let's first draw the picture. The diagonal of your rectangle will be a line that goes from the top left corner of your rectangle to the bottom right corner. This line is the hypotenuse of your RIGHT triangle. The problem tells us that the hypotenuse forms a 30 degree angle with on of the sides. We can pick either side, but I chose to pick the side that includes the left side of the rectangle. Now, we have a 30-60-90 right triangle. The base of the triangle is opposite the 30 degree angle, so it will equal x. The hypotenuse is 2x and the height is x√3.

 

SO, since we know the hypotenuse is 8cm, we know: 8=2x and x=4;  x√3=4√3

 

The area of a rectangle is b*h, so we multiple 4√3*4 to give us 16√3

 

Hope that helps!

The measure of angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree is: A 18.5 B 19.5 C 20.5
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is a right triangle as shown by the right angle.</u>

  • The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, which is 9.
  • The side opposite angle A is 3.

So we have the opposite of A and the hypotenuse.

The trigonometric ratio that relates opposite side to hypotenuse is SINE.

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Since, we need angle A, \theta is A, opposite side is 3, and hypotenuse is 9, we substitute:

sinA=\frac{3}{9}\\sinA=\frac{1}{3}

<em>To solve for the angle, we use our calculator and find the inverse sin of \frac{1}{3} :</em>

A=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})\\A=19.47

<em>Rounding to nearest tenth of a degree:</em>

A=19.5

B is the right choice.

What is the volume of the cylinder
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is V = (pi) (r^2) (h) so 12*12 is 144. 144*pi*17 is 2448 pi units cubed.
