Answer:

The lenght of the diagonal is 7.1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate how much each side of the square measures

p = perimeter = 20cm

s = side

p = 4 * s

we replace with the known values

20cm = 4 * s

20cm / 4 = s

5cm = s

Each side of the square measures 5cm

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse

a = leg 1 = 5cm

b = leg 2 = 5cm

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values

h² = (5cm)² + (5cm)²

h² = 25cm² + 25cm²

h² = 50cm²

h = √(50cm²)

h = 7.07cm

Round to the nearest tenth

h = 7.07cm  = 7.1cm

The length of the hypotenuse is 7.1cm

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the diagonal of the square

What is the volume of a cone with a diameter of 30 feet and a height of 60 feet use 3.14 for pie
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

14,130 feet³

Step-by-step explanation:

2r=d

2r=30

r=15

Formula for the volume of a cone is: \frac{1}{3} *b*h

\frac{1}{3} *π*r²*h=

\frac{1}{3} *3.14*15^{2} *60=\\

\frac{1}{3} *3.14*225*60=

\frac{1}{3} *3.14*13,500=\\

\frac{13,500}{3} *3.14=\\

4500*3.14=

A piston rises to 5 cm and falls to 3 cm in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds. If w
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(1 cm)cos3πt

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the piston starts at its maximal height and returns to its maximal height three times evert 2 seconds, it is modelled by a cosine functions, since a cosine function starts at its maximum point. So, its height h = Acos2πft

where A = amplitude of the oscillation and f = frequency of oscillation and t = time of propagation of oscillation.

Now, since the piston rises in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds, its frequency, f = number of oscillations/time taken for oscillation where number of oscillations = 3 and time taken for oscillations  = 2 s

So, f = 3/2 s =1.5 /s = 1.5 Hz

Also, since the the piston moves between 3 cm and 5 cm, the distance between its maximum displacement(crest) of 5 cm and minimum displacement(trough) of 3 cm is H = 5 cm - 3 cm = 2 cm. So its amplitude, A = H/2 = 2 cm/2 = 1 cm

h = Acos2πft

= (1 cm)cos2π(1.5Hz)t

= (1 cm)cos3πt

If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has a discriminant of 3 then the two roots must be
lukranit [14]

In a quadratic equation

q(x) = ax^2 + bx + c 

The discriminant is = b^2 - 4ac

We have that discriminant = 3

If b^2 - 4ac > 0, then the roots are real.

If b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary

<span>In this problem b^2 - 4ac > 0   3 > 0 </span>

then the two roots must be real
