Answer:
AC ≈ 17.3 , BC ≈ 5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
using the tangent ratio in right triangle ACD
tan51° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by 14 )
14 × tan51° = AC , then
AC ≈ 17.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
using the cosine ratio in right triangle ABC
cos72° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by 17.3 )
17.3 × cos72° = BC , then
BC ≈ 5.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
291.05ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the aquarium = L³
L is the length of one side of the aquarium
444 = L³
L = cuberoot[444]
L= 7.63ft
Since the glass aquarium is opened at the top
Total surface Area = 5L²
Total surface Area = 5(7.63)²
Total surface Area = 291.05ft²
Hence the minimum exterior surface area of the aquarium is 291.05ft²
