Answers:

  • a = 21
  • b = 42*sqrt(2)
  • h = 14*sqrt(2)

================================================

Explanation:

There are 3 right triangles here. They are all similar triangles allowing us to form the proportion

7/h = h/56

which solves to...

7/h = h/56

7*56 = h*h

392 = h^2

h^2 = 392

h = sqrt(392)

h = sqrt(196*2)

h = sqrt(196)*sqrt(2)

h = 14*sqrt(2)

Note: h is the geometric mean of 7 and 56.

---------------------

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for 'a'. Focus on the smaller triangle on the left

7^2 + h^2 = a^2

7^2 + (sqrt(392))^2 = a^2

49 + 392 = a^2

441 = a^2

a^2 = 441

a = sqrt(441)

a = 21

---------------------

Then we can find b. Again use the pythagorean theorem. Focus on the largest right triangle this time.

a^2 + b^2 = (7+56)^2

21^2 + b^2 = 63^2

441 + b^2 = 3969

b^2 = 3969 - 441

b^2 = 3528

b = sqrt(3528)

b = sqrt(1764*2)

b = sqrt(1764)*sqrt(2)

b = 42*sqrt(2)

What is the frequency of the graph of y = 1/3 sin(2x)?
vovangra [49]

Given:

The sine function is:

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

To find:

The frequency of the graph of given function.

Solution:

If a sine function is defined as:

y=A\sin(Bx+C)+D

Then, the frequency of the sine function is:

f=\dfrac{B}{2\pi}

We have,

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

Here, B=2. So, the frequency of the given function is:

f=\dfrac{2}{2\pi}

f=\dfrac{1}{\pi}

Therefore, the correct option is D.
