An artist builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.

It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.

We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.

Metal part = three-fourth of total weight =

Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.

Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.

Answer:

C) π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under the curve from x=-π/2 to x=k is 3 times the area under the curve from x=k to x=π/2.

$\int\limits^k_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} {cos\ x} \, dx = 3\int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k {cos\ x} \, dx\\sin\ x\ |^{k}_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} = 3\ sin\ x\ |^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k\\(sin\ k - (-1)) = 3\ (1 - sin\ k)\\sin\ k + 1 = 3 - 3\ sin\ k\\4\ sin\ k = 2\\sin\ k = \frac{1}{2}\\k = \frac{\pi}{6}$
