First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2

If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12

Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).

I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...

Answer:

  • Rx2e-xdx=-e-x(x2+2x+2)+candR-xe-xdx=xe-x+e-x+c)CS 70, Summer 2016, HW 62

Step-by-step explanation:

  • CIA(8 points)Jason Bourne has been held captive in a prison from which there are three possible routes to escape:an air duct, a sewer pipe and the door (which happens to be unlocked). The air duct leads him on athree hour trip whereupon he falls through a trap door onto his head. The sewer pipe is similar buttakes two hours to traverse. Each fall produces amnesia and he is returned to the cell immediatelyafter each fall. Assume that he always immediately chooses one of the three exits from the cell withprobability13. On average, how long does it take before he opens the unlocked door and escapes?9.Markov Chain(12 points: 4/3/5)Consider the Markov chainX(n)with the state diagram shown below, wherea,b∈(0,1).Figure 1: State diagram(a) Is this Markov chain irreducible?

The cylinders are similar. The volume of the larger cylinder is 9648 cubic inches. What is the volume of the smaller cylinder?
zalisa [80]
Hey there :)

The volume formula of a cylinder is:
V = \pir²h

The volume of the larger volume is given to be 9648³ and the height is 18 in
We need to find the radius first

9648 = \pir²(18)
\frac{9648}{18} = \pir²
536 = \pir²
\frac{536}{ \pi} = r²
\sqrt{ \frac{536}{ \pi } } = r
r ≈ 13.06

The ratio of the big cylinder to small cylinder is:
18 : 9   (given height)
So the big cylinder is 2 times bigger than the small cylinder
Therefore the radius of the big cylinder is as well 2 times bigger

\frac{13.06}{2} = r
r ≈ 6.53  ( the radius of the small radius )

V (of small cylinder) = \pi(6.53)²(9)
                                  = 1206 in³
