1. OK, we want csc A, which is 1/sin A.  When we have a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the square root of two times the side, we're where the Pythagoreans were twenty five hundred years ago when they realized the diagonal of the unit square was incommensurate with the side.

In other words we have an isoceles right triangle, 45 degree angles, a=b=14 and c=14 \sqrt{2}.  So \sin A = 1/\sqrt{2} so \csc A=\sqrt{2}, fourth choice.

2. AC adjacent to 23, C is a right angle because 23+67=90.  We have hypotenuse AB, so 

\cos A = \dfrac{AC}{AB} \quad \textrm{or} \quad AC=AB \cos A = 7.8 \cos 23, choice four.

3.  The cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.

\cos A = 36/60 = 3/5

The sine is opposite over hypotenuse,

\sin B= 36/60 = 3/5

First choice

The diameter of a planet is about 25,660 mi. The diameter of the planet's moon is about 35% of the diameter of the planet. What
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of sphere

v = (4/3)πr^3

Volume moon/ volume planet

We don't actually need the numeric value of the radius

just the 35% ratio

Radius of moon = .35 radius of planet

Vm/ Vp = (4/3)π(.35r)^3 / (4/3)π(r)^3

Cancel like terms

Vm / Vp = .35^3

Vm / Vp = 0.042875

Expressed as a percentage

Vm / Vp = 4.2875%

Rounded

Vm / Vp = 4%

Answer:

x=i√33−3,−i√33−3

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

(x+3)2=−28−

5 Subtract 5 from −28.

(x+3)2=−33

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

x+3=±√−33

Simplify the right side of the equation.

x+3=±i√33

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

x=i√33−3,− i√33 −3
