Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In cartesian coordinates, we represents a point as (x,y).

Whereas, in polar coordinates, we represent a point as $(r,\theta)$

Here,

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

The term r is the radial distance from origin and the angle Ф is the polar angle.

Therefore, the term r doesn't represent the reference angle when plotting a point in polar coordinates.

Hence, the given statement is false.

The answer to the statement above would be false. The value of r does not represent the reference angle when plotting a point in polar coordinates. Instead, it represents the polar distance instead of the angle. The reference angle is represented by <em>t.</em>

Which formula shows a joint variation?

djyliett [7]

The answer is the first option: I, II and III.

The explanation is shown below:

1. By definition, there is a joint variation when a variable depends on two or more different variables. Therefore, you can express it as following:

$y=kxz$

Where $x,y$ and $z$ are the variables and $k$ is the constant of proportionality.

As you can see, $y$ is directly proportional to $x$ and $z$ .

2. Keeping the information above, you have:

I) $V=lwh$ ( $V$ varies jointly with $l$ , $w$ and $h$ .

II) $V=\frac{1}{3}r^{2}h\pi$ (If $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is the constant of proportionality, $V$ varies jointly with $r^{2}$ and $h$ ).

III) $V=Bh$ ( $V$ varies jointly with $B$ and $h$ .

<h3>What is a Cuboid?</h3>

A cuboid is a three-dimensional figure with 6 faces, all the faces are rectangular in shape.

The volume is the space occupied by it in a three-dimensional figure.

The volume of a cuboid whose length is l,

The width is w, and

Height is h.

V = length * Width * Height

V = lwh

The length of the shed is 16.25 ft.

The width of the shed is 11 ft.

The height of the shed is 6 1/5 ft

The height of the shed is 31/5 = 6.2ft.

The volume of the shed is given by

V = 16.25 * 11 * 6.2

V = 1108.25 cu.ft

Therefore, the shed has a volume of 1108.25 cu.ft.
