<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Lateral Area

The lateral area is the area of the sides of the prism. If the faces are perpendicular to the bases, then each face is a rectangle. The area of each rectangle is the product of its length and width, generally the product of the height of the prism and the length of one edge of the base.

The total lateral area will then be the product of the height of the prism and the perimeter of the base.

Total Area

The total area is the sum of the lateral area (computed as above) and the area of the two bases of the prism. The formula for that area depends on the shape of the prism. (You have already seen formulas for the areas of triangles, rectangles, and other plane shapes. If not, they are readily available in your text or using a web search.)

You work at a pioneer historical site. On this site you have handcarts. One cart has a handle that connects to the center of the

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a) see below

b) radius = 16.4 in (1 d.p.)

c) 18°. Yes contents will remain. No, handle will not rest on the ground.

d) Yes contents would spill. Max height of handle = 32.8 in (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

A chord is a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of the circle.

The diameter is a chord that passes through the center of a circle.

Therefore, the spokes passing through the center of the wheel are congruent chords.

The spokes on the wheel represent the radii of the circle. Spokes on a wheel are usually evenly spaced, therefore the congruent central angles are the angles formed when two spokes meet at the center of the wheel.

Part b

The tangent of a circle is always perpendicular to the radius.

The tangent to the wheel touches the wheel at point B on the diagram. The radius is at a right angle to this tangent. Therefore, we can model this as a right triangle and use the tan trigonometric ratio to calculate the radius of the wheel (see attached diagram 1).

$\sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}$

where:

$\theta$ is the angle
O is the side opposite the angle
A is the side adjacent the angle

Given:

$\theta$ = 20°
O = radius (r)
A = 45 in

Substituting the given values into the tan trig ratio:

$\implies \sf \tan(20^{\circ})=\dfrac{r}{45}$

$\implies \sf r=45\tan(20^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf r=16.37866054...$

Therefore, the radius is 16.4 in (1 d.p.).

Part c

The measure of an angle formed by a secant and a tangent from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

If the measure of the arc AB was changed to 72°, then the other intercepted arc would be 180° - 72° = 108° (since AC is the diameter).

$\implies \sf new\: angle=\dfrac{108^{\circ}-72^{\circ}}{2}=18^{\circ}$

As the handle of the cart needs to be no more than 20° with the ground for the contents not to spill out, the contents will remain in the handcart at an angle of 18°.

The handle will not rest of the ground (see attached diagram 2).

Part d

This can be modeled as a right triangle (see diagram 3), with:

height = (48 - r) in
hypotenuse ≈ 48 in

Use the sin trig ratio to find the angle the handle makes with the horizontal:

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}$

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{48-r}{48}$

$\implies \sf \sin (\theta)=\dfrac{48-45\tan(20^{\circ})}{48}$

$\implies \theta = 41.2^{\circ}\:\sf(1\:d.p.)$

As 41.2° > 20° the contents will spill out the back.

To find the maximum height of the handle from the ground before the contents start spilling out, find the height from center of the wheel (setting the angle to its maximum of 20°):

$\implies \sin(20^{\circ})=\dfrac{h}{48}$

$\implies h=48\sin(20^{\circ})$

Then add it to the radius:

$\implies \sf max\:height=48\sin(20^{\circ})+45\tan(20^{\circ})=32.8\:in\:(1\:d.p.)$

(see diagram 4)

Circle Theorem vocabulary

Secant: a straight line that intersects a circle at two points.

Arc: the curve between two points on the circumference of a circle

Intercepted arc: the curve between the two points where two chords or line segments (that meet at one point on the other side of the circle) intercept the circumference of a circle.

Tangent: a straight line that touches a circle at only one point.

Use a matrix equation to solve the system of linear equations. left brace Start 2 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 2nd Row 1st Col

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&\\-1&1/2\\\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix system for the linear equations: x + 2y = 8, 2x + 6y = 9

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&\\2&6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}8\\9\end{array}\right]$

To get the coefficient of x and y, the inverse of the first matrix (let the first matrix be A) must be known.

$A^{-1}$ = (1 / determinant of A) x Adjoint of A

the determinant of A = (1 x 6) - (2 x 2) = 6 - 4 = 2

Adjoint of A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-2&\\-2&1\\\end{array}\right]$

$A^{-1}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-2\\-2&1\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&\\-1&1/2\\\end{array}\right]$

Please help very urgent on test...

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Equation: (2x+5)4=(2x+8)3

X: 2

Perimeter: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply 2x+5 and 4 because there are four sides to a square, so the perimeter of the square would be 8x+20. This would go same for the triangle, making the perimeter 6x+24.

So 8x+20=6x+24 is your new equation. Then, you do the opposite of the order of operations, and add or subtract first. It would be easiest to subtract 20 and 6x from both sides.

That leaves you with 2x=4. Dividing 2 by both sides means x=2

You can plug this in to prove if it is correct.

16+20=36

12+24=36

Lmk if you get it!

There are 11 students on the tennis team. The coach selects 3 of them to go to atennis clinic. In how many ways can he choose 3

Komok [63]

Answer:

165 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Selection deals with combination

There are a total of 11 from which 3 are to be selected

11C3 = 11!/3!(11-3)!

= 11!/(3!x8!)

=(11x10x9x8!)/(3x2x8!)

=11x10x9/6

=11x5x3 = 165 ways
