A parallelogram has sides of 18 and 26 ft, and an angle of 39° . Find the shorter diagonal

Mathematics

Answer:

16.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are always equal in measure. So two of the angles in the parallelogram measure 39 degrees each.

The sum of angles of the parallelogram must be 360 degrees. Let the other two angles be x degree each. We can set up the following equation for the angles:

39 + 39 + x + x = 360

78 + 2x = 360

2x = 282

x = 141

This means, the other two angles measure 141 degree each. The shorter diagonal will be opposite to the shorter angle.

Hence, the diagonal opposite to the angle 39 degree will be the shorter one. A diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles. So we will have two sides and an included angle and we have to find the third side of the triangle which can be found using the law of cosines. Let the third side be c as shown in image below, using the law of cosines, we can write:

c^{2} = a^{2}+ b^{2} -2ab cos(\gamma)\\\\c^{2}=18^{2}+26^{2}-2(18)(26)cos(39)\\\\ c^{2}=272.59\\\\ c=16.51

Thus the shorter diagonal will be 16.51 feet in measure.

Ryan is making small meat loaves. Each small meat loaf uses 3/4 pound of meat. How much meat does Ryan need to make 8 small meat
taurus [48]
Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:

3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf

*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.

#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds

I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!

Solve using the order of operations: 6.3 7 squared x 3.1
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
6.37² x 3.1

First is Exponents (6.37²):

40.6 x 3.1

Then, Multiplication:

40.6 x 3.1 = 125.9.

To remember the order of operations, the term PEMDAS can be used. (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.)
You do the equation in the order of the letters.

Example:

(5-2)5 + 2² / 6 -1 = ?

First, Parentheses:

(3)5 + 2² / 6 - 1

Then, Exponents:

(3)5 + 4 / 6 - 1

Then, Multiplication:

15 + 4 / 6 - 1

Then, Division:

15 + 0.7 - 1

Then, Addition:

15.7 - 1 

Then, Subtraction:

14.7

So that means, (5-2)5 + 2² / 6 -1 = 14.7

A factory produces 60005/12
ycow [4]

Answer:

About\ 193 \frac{209}{372} \ tons\ of \ steel

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of tons of steel produced monthly by a factory to be 6000 5/12 tons, to determine their daily production, we need to use the conversion;

Maximum of 31 days = 1 month

This means that the steel company produces 6000 5/12 tons of steel in 31 days.

6000 5/12 tons = 31 dsays

72,005/12 tons = 31 days

in a day, the company will therefore produce approx. (72,005/12)/31 tons of steel.

(72,005/12)/31  = 72,005/12 * 1/31

= 72,005/12*31

= 72,005/372

= 193  209/372 tons of steel.

Hence, the factory produces about 193 \frac{209}{372} tons of steel daily
