You don't even need the picture to solve this one.

You said that      h = 5 cot(Θ) ,    and you said that  Θ  is 30 degrees.
All you need now is to find the cotangent of  Θ, plop that into the equation,
and the solution practically jumps off the paper into your lap.

To find the cotangent of 30 degrees, you can use a calculator, look it up
in a book, read it off of a slide rule if you have one, draw a picture of a
30-60-90 right triangle etc.  You'll find that the cotangent of 30 degrees
is  √3 .  That's about 1.732 .

So your equation is    h = 5 (1.732)  =  <em>8.66  </em>(rounded)

Apparently, somebody gave you the equation, and asked you to find 'h'.
Once you had the equation, you didn't even need to know that  'h'  has
anything to do with a triangle.

How many distinguishable 11 letter​ "words" can be formed using the letters in MISSISSIPPI​?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
This is given by the multinomial coefficient:

\dbinom{11}{1,4,4,2}=\dfrac{11!}{1!4!4!2!}=34650

If you're not familiar with the multinomial coefficient, you may be able to see it more clearly if you count the number of possible combinations taking each distinct letter n times, where n is the number of times it shows up in the original word.

\underbrace{\dbinom{11}1}_{\text{M}}\underbrace{\dbinom{10}4}_{\text{I}}\underbrace{\dbinom64}_{\text{S}}\underbrace{\dbinom22}_{\text{P}}=\dfrac{11!}{1!10!}\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}\dfrac{6!}{4!2!}\dfrac{2!}{2!0!}=\dfrac{11!}{1!4!4!2!}

A student solved for the radius of a circle with a circumference of 12π
padilas [110]

Answer:

Step 4 is incorrect  he did not divide correctly from step3 to step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is

C = 2 * pi *r

We know the circumference is 12 pi

12pi = 2 pi *r

Divide each side by 2 pi

12 pi/2pi = 2pi r/ 2pi

6 = r

From step 3 The student did not cancel the pi in the top and the bottom on the right hand side to isolate r

In step 4 he got 6 =pi r  instead of pi

dimulka [17.4K]
2/3 think of this as a pie right divided into 3 area but only 2 people eat from it 1 left but how would i complete it if its not done well i need to  complete the "pie"
by adding an exponent into the mesure and cacultating a mass of a=mx+b
now you divide and get 0.75
so you will fill in .25 more to get the full measurement by eating 1 more pie:
