Volume = L * W * D 6,510
= 40 * W * 10.5
W = 6,510/(40 * 10.5)
= 15.5 ft
hope this helps

If sin A = 3/8, find the value of cosec A - sec A.

alexira [117]

Answer:

$\csc A - \sec A = \dfrac 83 + \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{55}}\\\\\csc A - \sec A = \dfrac 83 - \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{55}}$

Step by step explanation:

$\text{Given that,}\\\\~~~~~~\sin A = \dfrac 38 \\\\\implies \sin^2 A = \dfrac 9{64}\\\\\implies 1 - \cos^2 A = \dfrac{9}{64}\\\\\implies \cos ^2 A = 1 - \dfrac 9{64}\\\\\implies \cos^2 A = \dfrac{55}{64}\\\\\implies \cos A =\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{55}{64}}\\ \\\implies \cos A = \pm\dfrac{\sqrt{55}}8\\\\$

$\implies \dfrac 1{\cos A} = \pm\dfrac{8}{\sqrt{55}}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\\csc A - \sec A\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\sin A}- \dfrac{1}{\cos A}\\\\=\dfrac 83 -\left(\pm \dfrac 8{\sqrt {55}} \right)\\ \\\text{Hence,}\\\\\csc A - \sec A = \dfrac 83 + \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{55}}\\\\\csc A - \sec A = \dfrac 83 - \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{55}}$

1. What would be the depth of water of 3/4 filled rectangular pool, if pool is 10 m long, 7 m wide and 8 m deep?

Vladimir79 [104]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area if the rectangular pool= 10m×7m×8m

= 560m³

3/4 of 560m³

3/4×560

= 420

Hence , the water occupies 420m³ place

-20y + 15 = 2 - 16y + 11

shtirl [24]

In order to answer this, we will first need to combine like terms on each side. on the left, you can leave them alone. however on the right, we will need to combine 2 and 11. this is 13. the right side becomes 13-16y. after that, we can add 20y to both sides. that equals 15=13+4y now we can subtract 13 from both sides. 2=4y. then we divide by 4 on both sides to find y. y=.5

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4,10) and a directrix of y=-4 write the equation of the parabola in any form

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$(x+4)^2=28(y-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of the parabola is the horizontal line with the eqaution $y=-4.$ The focus of the parabola is at point (-4,10), than the axis of symmetry of the parabola is the perpendicular line to the directrix passing through the focus. Its equation is $x=-4$

The distance between the directrix and the focus is $|10-(-4)|=14,$ so $p=14$ and the vertex is at point $\left(-4,10-\dfrac{14}{2}\right)\rightarrow (-4,3)$

Parabola goes in positive y-direction, hence its equation is

$(x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0),$

where $(x_0,y_0)$ is the vertex, so the equation of this parabola is

$(x+4)^2=28(y-3)$
