Imagine that we cut the cone in half with a vertical plane. In this plane we'd see points a, b and c. We need to find the measure of angle bca, and then double that angle, to obtain the answer to this problem.

Note that tan (angle bca) = opp / adj = 2 / 6, or 1/3, or 0.333...

Working backwards to find angle bca, we use the inverse tangent function:

arctan 0.3333.. = approx. 0.322 radians, or 18.435 degrees.

Doubling that gives us the measurement of the angle formed between the line segments: 2(18.435 deg) = 36.9 degrees, approximately.

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 10, −80, 640, −5120, ...<br><br> a(1)=<br> a(n)=
Liula [17]
The recursive formula would be:
a_1=10&#10;\\a_{n}=a_{n-1} \times (-8)

This is because the first term, a₁, is 10.  A recursive rule is dependent upon the term before it (a(n-1)) and the common ratio.  The common ratio, or the number that each term is multiplied by, is -8.

postnew [5]

Answer:

Correct I think

Step-by-step explanation:

9 is nearly half of 25. (12.5) Half is equal to 50%. 40 is close to 50 and 9 is close to 12.5. So, he is correct. I think, hope this helps.

A grocery store clerk put only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup on a shelf. The ratio of the number of cans of chick
larisa [96]

Answer:

9 cans of tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup are put on the shelf.

Now, we are told that the ratio of the number of cans of chicken noodle soup to the total number of cans on the shelf was 8 to 17.

In fraction, this is 8/17

Now, this implies that there are 8 cans of chicken noodle soup while there are a total of 17 cans on the shelf.

Thus,

Since only cans of chicken noodles and cans of tomato soup are on the shelf, it means;

Cans of tomato soup = 17 - 8 = 9
