Answer:

40cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the missing leg, use the Pythagorean theorem a²+ b² = c² and substitute the numbers a² + 8² = 17².

2. So a = 15 since 17²-8² = 289 - 64 =225 and the square root of 225 is 15

3. Now that all the lengths have been found. So the perimeter of the right triangle is 40cm.

For what values of θ on the polar curve r=θ, with 0≤θ≤2π , are the tangent lines horizontal? Vertical?

Bond [772]

Given that $r=\theta$ , then $r'=1$

The slope of a tangent line in the polar coordinate is given by:

$m= \frac{r'\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{r'\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}$

Thus, we have:

$m= \frac{\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta}$

Part A:

For horizontal tangent lines, m = 0.

Thus, we have:

$\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta=0 \\ \\ \theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta \\ \\ \theta=- \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} =-\tan\theta$

Therefore, the values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are horizontal are:

θ = 0

θ = 2.02875783811043

θ = 4.91318043943488

Part B:

For vertical tangent lines, $\frac{1}{m} =0$

Thus, we have:

$\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\theta\sin\theta=\cos\theta \\ \\ \Rightarrow\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} =\sec\theta$

Therefore, the values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are vertical are:

θ = 4.91718592528713
