Step-by-step explanation:

we know that on a 30 60 90 trianlge the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half of the length of hypotenuse.So in this problem

the length of the side opposite the 30 angle is 17/2

talking about exercise on the photo the answer is

8√3 because it is given that the length of the side opposite the 30 anlge is 8 so hypotenuse is 16 we mentioned why before.

Now lets use pythagorean theorem

x^2+y^2=z^2

z is hypotenuse

8^2+y^2=16^2

64+y^2=256

y^2=256-64

y^2=192

y=8√3

Find an equation of the sphere which contains points A(1, 3, 2) and B(4, 3, 7) and the distance between A and B is equal to the

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The answer is 8.5=(x-2.5)^2+(y-3)^2+(z-4.5)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find diameter of the sphere. The distance point A and point B is:

$d=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(3-3)^2+(7-2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{3^2+0^2+5^2} \\d=\sqrt{34} \\d=5.83$

d/2=r=2.92

radius of the sphere is 2.92 units

and the center of the sphere is:

C=((4+1)/2,(3+3)/2,(7+2)/2)

C=(2.5,3,4.5)

We can write the equation of the sphere as:

$r^2=(x-2.5)^2+(y-3)^2+(z-4.5)^2\\8.5=(x-2.5)^2+(y-3)^2+(z-4.5)^2$
