What is the best approximation of the length of segment QS? (Note: cos 80° = 0.17)

Mathematics

Answer: QS=11.8cm


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of RS is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment QS as following:

cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17

3. Substitute values and solve for QS:

0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm

4. To the nearest tenth:

QS=11.8cm

LuckyWell [14K]
Since all the volume of the liquid will be contained by all 30 spheres then,
30 V = 3392.92

where V is the volume of each sphere
Solving for V
V = 113.0973

The formula for the volume of the sphere is:
V = (4/3) π r³

Since diameter, D = 2r
V = (4/3) π (D/2)³
V = (4/3) π (1/8) D³
V = (1/6) π D³

Since V = 113.0937
113.0937 = (1/6) π D³
D = 6

Therefore, the diameter is 6 inches (THE THIRD OPTION)

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)
Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)

C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2} and 4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

Solve for each:

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}

2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2

4 = x_1 + 5

4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5

-1 = x_1

x_1 = -1

4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2

8 = y_1 + 7

8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7

1 = y_1

y_1 = 1

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)

B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2} and -5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

Solve for each:

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}

-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2

-8 = x_1 - 2

-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2

-6 = x_1

x_1 = -6

-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2

-10 = y_1 - 9

-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9

-1 = y_1

y_1 = -1

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
