Answer: X = 13.2 (Approximated to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation: This is a right angled triangle, with one side given, and one angle given. We can calculate the other two sides provided the reference angles are known, and in this question, all angles are known. One is 90°, the second is 47° while the third is 43° (that is 180° - {90° + 47°} )

We shall use angle 47 as the reference angle, and note that the line that lies between the reference angle and the right angle is the adjacent. Note also that the unknown side is the hypotenuse, (the side facing the right angle).

Now that we have established two sides of the triangle, the adjacent (9 units) and the hypotenuse (X), we can calculate the unknown side by using the trigonometrical ratio of cosine.

Cos 47 = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos 47 = 9/X

By cross multiplication we now have

X/1 = 9/Cos 47

By checking your table of values or by use of your calculator, cos 47 is equal to 0.6819

Therefore

X = 9/0.6819

X = 13.19 units

However, by rounding up to the nearest tenth,

X = 13.2 units

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS AND EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$A = 297\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to be familiar with the formula for the surface area of a cone:

$A = \pi r(r + \sqrt{h^2+r^2})$

We are given the length of a side and the diameter, to calculate the radius divide the diameter in half:

$r = \frac{d}{2}\\r = \frac{18}{2}\\r = 9 cm$

To calculate the height of the cone, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem:

$C^2 = A^2 + B^2$

We can treat the side length as the hypotenuse $C$ , the radius as the base $A$ , and solve for height $B$ . Set the expression up like this:

$C^2 = A^2 + B^2\\24^2 = 9^2 + B^2\\B^2 = 24^2 - 9^2\\B = \sqrt{24^2 - 9^2}\\B = \sqrt{576 - 81}\\B = \sqrt{495}\\B \approx 22.25$

Now we can plug into our original formula:

$A = \pi r(r + \sqrt{h^2+r^2})\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{\sqrt{495}^2+9^2}\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{495 + 81}\\A = \pi 9(9+\sqrt{576})\\A = \pi 9(9 + 24)\\A = \pi 9(33)\\A = 297\pi$

How does f(x) = 3* change over the interval x = 4 to x = 57

Vilka [71]

f(x) increase by a factor of 3

Explanation:

Given that f(x)= 3* and the interval is x=4 to x=57

Now we put the value for x is 4 to 57 then value of f(x) increase with the multiply of 3.

Because the x is multiplied with 3 i.e., 3*

So f(x) increase by a factor of 3.

If we put x=4, then f(x)= 12 (∵ 3×4=12)

If we put x=5, the f(x)= 15 (∵ 3×5=15)

If we put x=6,the f(x)= 18 (∵ 3×6=18)

similarly., values of x= 7,8,9,...155.

Then,

If we put x=56, the f(x)=168

This process will continue until f(x)=171 for x=57.

Ashley spent 3x + 2hours on her science project and Adam spent 4x - 6 hours on his science project. If they spent a total of 31

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley and Adam spent a total of 31 hours on their projects so: 3x+2+4x-6 = 31

3x+2+4x-6 = 31

7x-4 = 31

7x = 35

x = 5
