If you looks at the well drawn picture that I drew, you'll notice that we notice that we can use the trigonometric ratio tan; in this case:

tan58=\frac{10}{x}
Solving this, we get:
x=\frac{10}{tan58}
Which gets us that x=6.25 (approximately)

(It really wasn't that great of a picture but still :D)

Anna71 [15]
Words that came from the same ancestral language and originated from the same word are called COGNATE WORDS.

In linguistics, cognates are words that have a common etymological origin. These are words in two languages that share a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation. For an instance, English words have lots of related words in Spanish.

For which value of theta is sine theta = negative 1?
Ivan

Answer:

1) 270 degrees

2)  pi/4 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) For which value of theta is sine theta = negative 1?

Given

sintheta = -1

theta = arcsin(-1)

theta = -90degrees

Since sin is negative in the third and 4th quadrant

In the third quadrant, theta = 180 + 90 = 270degrees

In the fourth quadrant, theta = 360 - 90 = 270 degrees

Hence the required value of theta is 270degrees

2) Given the radius of the circle to be 1, the y axis value will also be 1 units

Opposite = 1

adjacent = 1

hyp = √1²+1²

hyp = √2

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin theta = 1/√2

theta = arccsin(1/√2)

theta = 45 degrees

Express in radians

45 degrees = pi/4 radians

Hence the required angle in the first quadrant is pi/4 rad

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 9.1 m and a base with a circumference of 12.1 m. Round your answer
Orlov [11]

Answer:

V=35.3\ m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the cone's height is 9.1m and the Circumference is 12.1

#We use the circumference formula to calculate the radius:

C=2\pi r\\\\12.1=2\pi r\\\\r=\frac{12.1}{2\pi}=\frac{6.05}{\pi}\ cm

-The volume of the cone using the radius above can then be calculated as follows:

V=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}\\\\=\pi\times(\frac{6.05}{\pi})^2\times \frac{9.1}{3}\\\\\\=35.3\ m^3

Hence, the cone's volume is 35.3\ m^3

This is for my quiz) Wich table is linear and why is it linear?
Anestetic [448]
Both graphs A and B are linear. In both graphs, the y value is going up at a constant rate in comparison to their x values. For example, in graph A every time the x value is increased by 1 the y value is increased by 2 values showing that they have the same gradient. For a graph to be linear it must have a constant rate of increase or decrease.
