Answer:

x=2 y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can use ratios to solve

15 20

----- = -------------

x+4 8

Using cross products

8*15 = 20 (x+4)

120 = 20(x+4)

Divide each side by 20

120/20 = 20(x+4)/20

6 = x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

6-4 = x+4-4

2 =x

25 20

----- = -------------

y 8

Using cross products

25*8 = 20y

200 =20y

Divide by 20

200/20 = 20y/20

10=y

What is the volume, in cubic inches, of a cone that has a radius of 8 inches and a height of 12 inches? Use 3.14 for π , and rou

Doss [256]

Answer:

803.84 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to find the base area

base area = radius^2 x 3.14 = 8^2 x 3.14 = 64 x 3.14 = 200,96 in^2

the volume can be find with this formula:

V = (base area x height)/3

V = (200.96 x 12)/3 = 803.84 in^3

Trigonometric Ratios

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

Selecting any of the acute angles, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides and the hypotenuse.

The given right triangle has an angle of measure 51° and its adjacent leg has a measure of 19 units. It's required to calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We use the cosine ratio to calculate x:

$\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
