In the triangle below, determine the value of a.

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig.  Side a, our unknown, is adjacent to angle C which is a given.  You always have to use a given angle and side to find a missing side, so we have to figure out how the two givens are related to our unknown.  Side a is adjacent to angle C, and we are also given the hypotenuse.  We know side a is not the hypotenuse since the hypotenuse is ALWAYS the side across from the 90 degree angle.  The tan ratio of angle C will give us a way to have only one unknown.

tan 43 = a/26 and

26 tan 43 = a

Use your calculator now to find the missing side.  

a = 24.2 units long

Which of the following is not the equation of the graphed line?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

well, we do not have the options here, but we can find the equation of the graph, so the equations that are different from that are the answer to this question:

in the graph, we can see that it goes through the points:

(0,1) and (2,0)

Remember that the slope of a line that goes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

s = (y2 - y1)/(x2- x1)

then the slope for our line is:

s = (0 - 1)/(2 -0) = -1/2

Then our line is:

y = -(1/2)*x + b.

b is the y-intercept, and we know that when x = 0 y = 1, then:

1 = -(1/2)*0 + b

1 = b

then the equation is:

y = -(1/2)*x + 1

A cylinder has a radius of 40 ft and a height of 17 ft.
dusya [7]
So the formula is 2pi(r)(h)+2(pi)(r^2)

2(3.14)(40)(17)+2(pi)(40^2)
so then multiply and add it up and you get

about 14,325 1/3 or 14,325.34

The equation below is in standard form (Ax+By=C). Change the equation into Slope-Intercept form. (Hint: Solve the equation for y
solong [7]

Answer: y = -x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=6

x+y-x=6-x --> Subtract x from both sides

y=6-x --> y= -x+6

Slope is -1 and y intercept is (0,6)
