Answer:

The answer is a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cross section of a cone taken perpendicular to the base and intersecting the apex of the cone - The shape will be a triangle.

A cone has one circular base with two slant heights that are attached at the vertex. When it is cut in such a way that the cross-section is perpendicular to the base and it passes through the vertex or apex, then a triangle is formed.

It's an isosceles triangle. The best way to solve these problems is to just visualize the cross section. If you just think about it, it makes sense.

Triangle ABD is a right-angled triangle, with ∠ABD = 90◦ . The point C lies on side BD. CD has length 20 cm. ∠CDA = 35.8 ◦ and ∠

pishuonlain [190]

The length is 46.10 cm.

Since ∠BCA = 50.5°, ∠ACD = 180-50.5 =129.5°. This means that ∠CAD = 180-(129.5+35.8) = 14.7°. We can now use the law of sines;

sin 14.7/20 = sin 35.8/x

Cross multiply:
x*sin 14.7 = 20*sin 35.8

Divide both sides by sin 14.7:
x = (20*sin 35.8)/(sin 14.7) = 46.10

The Toga Trench is at an elevation of 35,702 feet below sea level .The south sandwich Trench is at an elevation of 23,737 ft . b

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702ft

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702 Feets

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737 Feets

Expressing both numbers as rational numbers :

Both the Tonga trench Elevation and South sandwich trench elevation are already stated as rational numbers because all integers are rational numbers, be it expressed as a quotient or proportion of integer numbers ( that is numbers that are expressed without decimal components.

Therefore, rational expression for both are :

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702ft

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737ft

Which of the following is a solution for the absolute value inequality |2x – 3| > 6?

Mice21 [21]

This breaks into two inequalities:

2x - 3 > 6

and

-2x + 3 > 6

------------------------

2x - 3 > 6

Add 3 to both sides:

2x > 9

Divide 2 to both sides:

x > 4.5

-----------------------

-2x + 3 > 6

Subtract 3 to both sides:

-2x > 3

Divide -2 to both sides:

x < -1.5
