Gina looks at the architectural plan of a four-walled room in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length of one

wall in the plan is 17 inches. The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan is approximately 18.79 inches.
Is the room in the shape of a square? Explain how you determined your answer. Show all your work.

I would like to know what to do with the 18.79

If the shape of the room is a square, then the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides will give the diagonal.

i.e.

\sqrt{17^2+17^2} = \sqrt{2(17^2)}  \\  \\ = \sqrt{2(289)} = \sqrt{578} =24.04

Since the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides is 24.04 and not 18.79, therefore, the shape of the room is not a square.

Which of the following is a solution to sin(x/2) = radical 3/2
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

sin ( x/ 2 )  =  - √ 3 /2

Take the inverse sine of both sides of the equation to extract  x

from inside the sine.

x/ 2 = arcsin ( − √ 3/ 2 )

The exact value of  arcsin ( − √ 3 /2 )  is  − π /3 .

/x 2 = − π /3

Multiply both sides of the equation by  2 .

2 ⋅ x /2 = 2 ⋅ ( − π /3 )

Simplify both sides of the equation.

x = − 2 π /3

The sine function is negative in the third and fourth quadrants. To find the second solution, subtract the solution from  2 π , to find a reference angle. Next, add this reference angle to  π  to find the solution in the third quadrant.

x /2 = 2 π + π/ 3 + π

Simplify the expression to find the second solution.  

x = 2 π /3  

4 π

Add  4 π  to every negative angle to get positive angles.  

x = 10 π /3

The period of the  sin ( x /2 )  function is  4 π  so values will repeat every  4 π  radians in both directions.

x =2 π /3 + 4 π n , 10 π/ 3 + 4 π n , for any integer  n

Exclude the solutions that do not make  sin ( x /2 ) = − √ 3/ 2  true.

x = 10 π /3 + 4 π n , for any integer  n

kherson [118]

Answer: For the equation simply substitute 30 in for v and 4 in for s in the equation given, so H=-16t^2+30t+4

Part 2.

If the juggler misses the ball, you wish to know the time that it takes for the ball to travel the four feet from his hand to the ground, so respectively,

4=-16t^2+30t+4 or 0=-16t^2+30t or 0 = -16t+30,

solving for t, t =30/16 seconds or 1.875 seconds
