Step-by-step explanation:
The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse of a given right-angled triangle;
sin x = ( opposite / hypotenuse)
The opposite side to the angle x is thus 1 unit while the hypotenuse is 3 units. We need to determine the adjacent side to the angle x. We use the Pythagoras theorem since we are dealing with right-angled triangle;
The adjacent side would be;
The cosine of an angle is given as;
cos x = (adjacent side / hypotenuse)
Therefore, the cos x would be;
Answer:
144 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find attached the image of the prisms
Volume of a triangular prism = area of the base x height of the prism
Area of the base = 1/2 ( base x height)
the two prisms are similar, thus, the dimensions of the bigger rectangle can be gotten from the ratio of the base of the smaller and bigger triangle
ratio of their dimensions = 6 / 1.5 = 4
the dimensions of the bigger triangle is 4 times that of the smaller triangle
height of the base of the prism = 1.5 x 4 = 6
Height of the prism = 2 x 4 = 8
Area of the base of the prism = (1/2) x 6 x 6 = 18 m^2
Volume of the prism = 18 x 8 = 144 m^3
