Consider a ΔABC in which ∠ C = 90°, ∠A = 60° and ∠ B = 30°.

Side AB will be the hypotenuse.

cos 60° = AC / AB                 -------[ cos 60° = 1/2]

So, AB = 2 AC   -------------------------------(1)

Apply Pythagorean Theorem to find BC

AB² = BC² + AC²

4 AC² = BC² + AC²

So,  BC = √3 AC  ------------------------(2)

Now, we shall find the value of cos 30°

cos 30° = CB / AB

or,        =  √3 AC / 2 AC     -------using equations (1) and (2)

So,   cos 30° = √3 / 2

Hence, the exact value of

Since ∠A = 2∠B. So,  cos 30° will be √3 / 2

How does the volume of a cylinder change if the radius is quadrupled and the height is reduced to a third of its original size?
vredina [299]
Oh yay, proportional thinking! (Vicious sarcasm). Alright, let's do this:

<span>Volume of the cylinder = </span><span>π(h)r^2
New volume = </span><span>π(h/3)(4r)^2
= (1/3)</span><span>π(h)(16r^2)
=16*(1/3)</span><span>π(h)r^2
=(16/3)</span><span>π(h)r^2

Therefore, it's D. Though it's spelled pi, and you should really use the ^ symbol. </span>
