Answer:

71.60ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

The question above requires us to use find the relationship between the angle and the length of the slide.

To solve this question, it is pertinent to get the diagram correctly so as to get the answer right.

See attached document for better illustration.

From the diagram,

We have the value of the opposite side or the triangle, and the angle of depression.

Using SOHCAHTOA,

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 31.66°

Opposite = 46ft

Adjacent = x

Tanθ = opp / adj

Tan31.66 = 46 / x

X = 46 / tan31.66

X = 46 / 0.6166

X = 71.60ft

The height of the slide is 71.60ft

If the geometric mean of a and 34 is 6 sqrt(17) find the value of a
Alborosie

Using the geometric mean concept, it is found that the value of a is 18.

----------------------

The geometric mean, of a data-set of n elements, (n_1, n_2, ..., n_n), is given by:

G = \sqrt[n]{n_1 \times n_2 \times ... \times n_n}

That is, the nth root of the multiplication of all elements.

----------------------

In this question:

  • Two elements(n = 2), a and 34.
  • G = 6\sqrt{17}

Thus:

\sqrt{34a} = 6\sqrt{17}

We find the square of each side, so:

(\sqrt{34a})^2 = (6\sqrt{17})^2

34a = 36\times17

Simplifying both sides by 17:

2a = 36

a = \frac{36}{2}

a = 18

The value of a is 18.

The diameter of a sphere is 16 cm. What is the sphere's volume? Round to the nearest tenth.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

V ≈ 2144.70 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius is going to be used instead of the diameter. Half of 16 is 8, and so that will be the value that shall be used.

V = (4/3)\pi (8)^3

V ≈ 2144.66 cm^3

V ≈ 2144.70 cm^3
