First way
arcsin(1/4) means that 1/4 sin of the angle.

sin(α)=1/4
sin²α+cos²α=1
(1/4)²+cos²α=1
cos²α=1-1/16 =15/16
cosα=+/-(√15)/4

<span>Second way
</span>
sin(α)=1/4 =opposite leg/hipotenuse
cos(α)=adjacent leg/hypothenuse
adjacent leg =√(hypotenuse²- Opposite²)=√(16-1)=√15
cosα=+/-√15/4

For one value of sinα, possible 2 values of cosα.

The height of two similar pails are 12cm and 8cm.The larger pail can hold 2litres. What is the capacity of the smaller pail?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters
