Answer:

<h2>This triangle is a right triangle:</h2><h2>36² + 15² = 39².</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ≤ b <c is the length of the sides of a right triangle, then:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We have

$a=15\ in,\ b=36\ in,\ c=39\ in$

Check the equality:

$L_s=15^2+36^2=225+1296=1521$

$R_s=39^2=1521$

$L_s=R_s$

It's a right triangle.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras

If the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 39

39² = 1521

36² + 15² = 1296 + 225 = 1521

The triangle is right since 36² + 15² = 39²

The diagram shows the curve y=(1/2x-2)^6+5. Find the area of the shaded region.

Zepler [3.9K]

So the line that is the limit is where the equation crosses the y axis or where x=0

so
y=(1/2(0)-2)^2+5
y=(-2)^2+5
y=4+5
y=9
at y=9

the upper bound is y=9

alrighty

we will do
let's call the curve that is 6th degree f(x)
and the y=9, g(x)

f(x)=(1/2x-2)^6+5
g(x)=9

find where they intersect

9=(1/2x-2)^6+5
4=(1/2x-2)^6
fancy math
x=8

so the area under the curve will be
$\int\limits^8_0 {g(x)-f(x)} \, dx$ because g(x) is above f(x)
so

$\int\limits^8_0 {g(x)-f(x)} \, dx= \int\limits^8_0 {9-((\frac{1}{2}x-2)^6+5)} \, dx=$
using our calculator because I can't figure out what $\int\limits (\frac{1}{2}x-2)^6} \, dx$ is
$\int\limits^8_0 {9-((\frac{1}{2}x-2)^6+5)} \, dx=$ $\frac{64}{3}$ or about 21.33333333

Given a soda can with a volume of 15 and a diameter of 2, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can?

Naddika [18.5K]

Check the picture below.

so, a cone, that fits inside the cylinder, will have the same height "h" and radius "r". Thus

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\qquad \boxed{\pi r^2 h}=15
\\\\\\
\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\boxed{15}}{3}$
