Answer:

h \approx 12.7\,cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square base is:

l = \sqrt{64\,cm^{2}}

l = 8\,cm

The formula for the surface area of the pyramid is:

A_{s} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (3\cdot l)\cdot \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2}+h^{2}} + l^{2}

The height is cleared in the previous expression:

A_{s} - l^{2} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot l\cdot \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2}+h^{2}}

\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} = \sqrt{0.25\cdot l^{2} + h^{2}}

\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left(\frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} \right)^{2} = \frac{1}{4} \cdot l^{2} + h^{2}

h = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left(\frac{A_{s}-l^{2}}{l} \right)^{2} - \frac{1}{4}\cdot l^{2}}

h = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}\cdot \left[\frac{224\,cm^{2}-(8\,cm)^{2}}{8\,cm}\right]^{2}-\frac{1}{4}\cdot (8\,cm)^{2} }

h \approx 12.7\,cm

How many grams of NH3 are required to produce 4.65 g of HF
nignag [31]

1.326 grams of NH3 are required to produce 4.65 g of HF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction is written first to know the number of moles taking part in original reaction.

NH3 +3 F2 ⇒3 HF  +  NF3

Given:

mass of HF = 4.65

First the number of moles of HF in 4.65 grams is calculated by using the formula:

number of moles (n) = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

atomic mass of HF = 20 grams/mole

putting the values in the above equation number of moles can be found.

n = \frac{4.65}{20}

  = 0.235 moles of HF are given.

From the equation it can be said that:

1 mole of NH3 reacts to form 3 moles of HF

so, x moles of NH3 would react to form 0.235 moles of HF

\frac{3}{1} = \frac{0.235}{x}

3x = 0.235

x = \frac{0.235}{3}

x = 0.078 moles of NH3 is required.

The moles are converted to mass by applying the formula:

mass = atomic mass X number of moles (atomic mass of NH3 = 17 grams/mole)

        putting the values in the formula

mass = 17 X 0.078

mass = 1.326 grams

Answer:

You would use the cos function because you are given the adjacent side and you are finding the opposite side.

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

Sin = O/H

Cos = A/H

Tan = O/A

O is the Opposite side

H is the Hypotenuse

A is the adjacent side

I don't understand stand this​
yanalaym [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid because AD and BC are parallel, AB and CD are congruent

step 2. x = 56° (definition of an isosceles trapezoid)

step 3. x + y + z + 56 = 360 (definition of a quadrilateral)

step 4. y = z (definition of an isosceles trapezoid)

step 5. 56 + 2y + 56 = 360

step 6. 2y = 248

step 7. y = 124°, z = 124°.

Since f and g are parallel to eachother, the sum of the angle 7x and 2x+36 would equal 180. To solve for x, you add 7x+2x+36, set it equal to 180, and then solve for x. 

x= 16
