An architect was asked to build a special staircase in a new building. The staircase will be built like a helix that rotates aro

und the outside of a cylindrical waterfall. Because it is a helix, the beginning of the staircase begins at a point directly above the position where the staircase ends at the bottom base of the column. Describe how to find the length of the staircase if the cylinder it surrounds is 30 m in height and has a radius of 12 m

Answer:

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m (See explanation below).

Step-by-step explanation:

Each floor has a height of 3 meters. Then, the number of floors of the cylinder is:

n = \frac{30\,m}{3\,m}

n = 10\,floors

Let consider that spiral makes a revolution per floor. Then, the parametric equations of the spiral are:

x = r\cdot \cos \theta

y = r\cdot \sin \theta

z = \Delta h \cdot \frac{\theta}{2\pi}

Length of the staircase can be modelled by using the formula for arc length:

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{d\theta} \right) ^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{d\theta} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dz}{d\theta}\right)^{2}}} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{\left(-r\cdot \sin \theta\right)^{2}+\left(r\cdot \cos \theta\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\Delta h}{2\pi} \right)^{2}} } \, d\theta

\Delta s = \int\limits^{20\pi}_{0} {\sqrt{r^{2}+\frac{(\Delta h)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }} \, d\theta

\Delta s = \sqrt{(12\,m)^{2}+\frac{(3\,m)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } \cdot (20\pi-0)

\Delta s \approx 754.579\,m

Eight people audition for a choir. The choir director must choose one soprano, one altar and one soprano. In how many ways can t
Trava [24]
There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.

(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2


You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.

12) LCM of 2 & 12 is 12 
Answer: (F)

13) (25 x 8) x 4
Step 1: Order of operations do parenthesis first: (25 x 8) = 200
Step 2: Multiply: 200 x 4 = 800
Answer: 800

14) I would plug each value in to see which works
D) 10x + 5y = 10(6) + 5(9) = 60 + 45 = 105

Answer is (D)

15) 2 x 12 - 8 (divided by) 2^2
Exponent first: 2 x 12 - 8 divided by 4
Multiplication/ Division: 2 x 12 = 24 and -8 divided by 4 = -2
Add/Subtract: 24 - 2 = 22

Answer: (I)

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of each of the angles of the quadrilateral. Show your work.
LuckyWell [14K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle.

Opposite angles of a Quadrilateral are Supplementary.

\therefore \: \angle A + \angle C = 180° \\  \therefore \:(2x + 3) \degree+ (2x + 1) \degree = 180° \\  \therefore \: (4x + 4) \degree = 180° \\ \therefore \: (4x + 4) = 180 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 180 - 4 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 176 \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{176}{4}  \\ \therefore \: x =  44 \\  \\  m\angle A  = (2x + 3) \degree \\  = (2 \times 44 + 3) \degree \\ = (88 + 3) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle A  =91 \degree}} \\  \\ m\angle  C = (2x + 1) \degree \\  = (2 \times 44 + 1) \degree \\ = (88 + 1) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle   C=89\degree}}  \\  \\ m\angle  D= (x - 10) \degree \\  = (44 - 10) \degree \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle  D =34\degree}}  \\  \\ similarly \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: m\angle  B  = 146\degree}}   \\  \\
