Answer: w=4, y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use the 30-60-90 triangle to find out what the length of w and y are. 30-60-90 triangle is a special triangle. The hypotenuse is 2x in length. It is directly opposite the right angle. The leg opposite of 60° is x√3 in length. The leg opposite of 30° is x. For all 3 legs, wherever you see x, you plug in the same number.

We can look at the figure as 2 separate triangles.

For the triangle on the right, we can see the hypotenuse is 8. Since we know the length of the hypotenuse is 2x, we can plug in 8 for 2x to find x.

2x=8

x=4

Now that we know x=4, we can directly plug it into the lengths above.

W is across from 30°. Above, we have established that the leg across from 30° has the length of x. Since x=4, w=4.

Since w=4, we can use this information to find the length of y by looking on the left triangle. Now, y is across from 30°. In the first paragraph, we stated that the leg across from 30° is x. Since we know x, we can directly plug it into this. After we plug it in, y=4.

Answer:

$205.73

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the square area,

multiply 10 by 4.5 and we get 45

we convert feet to meters by dividing it by 3.281

45/3.281=13.71533

we the multiply 13.71533 by 15 to get the total price

we get 205.72996 and round it to 205.72

V=pir^2h solve this equation for h
Nady [450]
Since we are solving for h, the equation:

V = πr²h

...divides πr² to the other side. Thus, it becomes....

\frac{V}{ \pi r^2} = h

Which can be rewritten as....

h = \frac{V}{ \pi r^2}
