\tan( \alpha )  \:  =  \:  \frac{h}{b}
\alpha  \:  =  \:  {22}^{0}
h \:  =  \: 450 \: ft
Therefore,
b \:  =  \: h \cot( \alpha )
b \:  =  \: 450  \: ft \:  \times  \:  \cot( {22}^{0} )
b = 450 ft × 2.47508685
b = 1,113.78908 ft
or,
b ≈ 1,114 ft.

For each function, find f(-1), f(1), and f(3)<br> f(x)=3x-4
Anna [14]

Answer:

f(x)= 3x-4

f(-1)= 3*-1-4

f(-1)= 2-4

f(-1)= -2

f(x)= 3x-4

f(3)= 3*3-4

f(3)= 9-4

f(3)=5

f(x)= 3x-4

f(1)= 3*1-4

f(1)= 3-4

f(1)= -1

Surface area of cylinders
Nitella [24]

Answer:

SA = 402.14 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine you unroll the cylinder. You will be left with a rectangle and two "lids" (disks).

The rectangular area will be of dimension:

Ar = (height)*(circumference of the disk)

Ar = (12 in) * (8 in) *pi = 301.60 in^2

The area of one disk will be

Ad = pi*(radius^2) = pi*(4^2 in^2) = 50.27 in^2

So the total surface area will be

SA = Ar + 2* Ad = 402.14 in^2 (square inches)
