Answer:

17.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(refer to the attached for reference)

since the given triangle is a right triangle (i.e with one of the angles being 90 deg), we can use trigonometry to determine the missing side.

In our case, we are given ∠ABC = 68° and the length of its adjacent side AB = 7 cm.

From trigonometry, the following relationship may be formed:

tan (68°) = opposite length / adjacent length

tan (68°) = AC / AB

tan (68°) = AC / 7 (multiply both sides by 7)

7 tan (68°) = AC (rearrange)

AC = 7 tan (68°) (solve using calculator)

AC = 17.3256

AC = 17.3 cm (1 dec pl)

What is the first term of the geometric sequence presented in the table below?

Leto [7]

Fron the table given:

A3 = 112,
A8 = - 3,584

An = A1 *r ^ (n-1)

=> A3 = A1 (r^2) = 112

A8 = A1(r^7) = - 3,584

=> - 3584 / 112 = (r^7) / (r^2)

=> (r^5) = - 32

=> r = - 2

=> A1 (- 2)^2 = 112

=> A1 = 112 / 4 = 28

Answer: a1 = 28

The surface area of a cube is found using the formula sa=6s^2, where s is theside length if the surface area of a cube is 294 sq

aleksley [76]

<span>6s^2 = 294
Solve for s

Solve for s:
6 s^2 = 294
Divide both sides by 6:
s^2 = 49
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: s = 7 m
