Answer:   \bold{-\dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that θ is between 270° and 360°, which means that θ is located in Quadrant IV ⇒ (x > 0, y < 0).  Furthermore, the half-angle will be between 135° and 180°, which means the half-angle is in Quadrant II ⇒ cos\ \dfrac{\theta}{2}

It is given that sin θ = -\dfrac{7}{25}  ⇒  y = -7 & hyp = 25

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find "x":

x² + y² = hyp²

x² + (-7)² = 25²

x² + 49 = 625

x²         = 576

      x   =  24    

Use the "x" and "hyp" values to find cos θ:

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{x}{hyp}=\dfrac{24}{25}    


Lastly, input cos θ into the half angle formula:

cos\bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{2}\bigg)=\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+cos\ \theta}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{25}{25}+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{49}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{49}{50}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}

Reminder: We previously determined that the half-angle will be negative.

The volume of two similar solids are 128 m3
arsen [322]

Answer:

Solution given:

The volume of two similar solids are 128 m³

and 250 m³.

surface area of larger solid is 250m²

<u>let</u><u> </u><u>surface</u><u> </u><u>area</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>smaller</u><u> </u><u>solid</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u>.</u>

<u>Since</u><u> </u><u>they</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>similar</u>

\frac{250}{128}   =  \frac{250}{x}

x=128

the surface are of the

smaller solid is 128m²

The volume of  a pyramid with hight and base is 1/3 the volume of a rectangleular prisim with the same height and base

also the volume of  a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder with same height and base so
just fun facts to know (helpful)


so volume of cylinder=1/3 times height tiimes pi times radius^2
subsitute
use pi=3.14
height=12
radius=6
volume=1/3 times 12 times 3.14 times 6^2
volume=4 times 3.14 times 36
volume=452.16 cubic meters
