Answer:
58.1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.

<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>
The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...
c² = a² +b²
<h3>application</h3>
For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.
30² = 7.5 +b²
b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75
b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473
The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...
rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947
Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.
Answer:
18.0 cm to 1 decimal point.
Step-by-step explanation:
First work out the unknown side (s) of the right triangle using the Pythagoras theorem:
s^2 = 13^2 - 5^2
= 169 - 25 = 144
s = sqrt 144 = 12 cm.
Now consider the other triangle:
s = 12
The missing angle = 180 - 65 - 40 = 75 degrees.
By the Sine Rule:
x / sin 75 = 12 / sin40
x = 12 sin 75 / sin 40
= 18.03

Step-by-step explanation:
For a given scale factor k
If k > 1 then expansion
If k < - 1 then expansion in the opposite direction
If 0 < k < 1 or - 1 < k < 0 then contraction
k = - 2 ← expansion in opposite direction
k = 1.5 ← expansion
k =
← contraction
k = -
← contraction
