Answer:

Yes, because 52 + 122 = 132.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line through a point on a circle is tangent at the point if it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.

Captain pizza has square delivery boxes that have 85 square inch bases. What is the diameter of the largest pizza that will fit

hichkok12 [17]

The biggest area a box can contain can be achieved by having the box be a square:85−−√≈9.21As you can see, the largest pizza that can fit in such a box would be one with a diameter of 9.

Es 18 de junio de 1815, las tropas napoleónicas se encuentran justo adelante, tu eres el ingeniero en balística y el general Wel

Airida [17]

Answer:

89.1° or -1.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Location:

You are on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, near the Belgian town of Waterloo.

The French troops are about 50 m below you and 1.2 km distant.

2. Finding the firing angle

Data:

R = 1200 m

u = 600 m/s

h = -50 m (the height of the target)

a = 9.8 m/s²

We have two conditions.

Horizontal distance

(1) 1200 = 600t cosθ

Vertical distance

(2) -50 = 600t sinθ - 4.9t²

Divide each side of (1) by 600cosθ.

$(3) \, t =\dfrac{2}{\cos \theta}$

Substitute (3) into (2)

$-50 = 600t \sin \theta - 4.9t^{2} = 600 \left( \dfrac{2}{\cos \theta} \right ) \sin \theta - 4.9 \left( \dfrac{2}{\cos \theta} \right )^{2}\\\\(4) \, -50 = 1200 \tan \theta - \dfrac{19.6}{\cos^{2} \theta}$

Recall that

(5) sec²θ = 1/cos²θ = tan²θ + 1

Substitute (5) into (4)

$-50 = 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6 \left(\tan^{2} \theta}+ 1\right )$

Set up a quadratic equation

$\begin{array}{rcl}-50 & = & 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6\tan^{2} \theta -19.6 \\0 & = & 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6\tan^{2} \theta + 30.4\\0 & =&19.6\tan^{2} \theta - 1200 \tan \theta - 30.4\\0 & =&\tan^{2} \theta - 61.224 \tan \theta - 1.551\\\end{array}$

Solve for θ

Use the quadratic formula.

tanθ = 61.249 or -0.025

θ = arctan(61.249) = 89.1° or

θ = arctan(-0.025) = -1.4°
