-------------------------------------------
Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x

-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5

-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet

-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.
-------------------------------------------

Answer:

vol. of triangular prism = lbh/2

vol. of rectangular prism = 18 of vol. of triangular prism

18x = 18 + 14x

4x = 18

x=4.5 ft

so vol. of rectangular prism = 6 × 4 . 5 × 3 = 81 ftcube

How do you solve sin (5pi/3) without a calculator?
Savatey [412]

very simple, we use the formula sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa and sin(20)=2sinacosa

5pi = 2pi/3+3pi/3,

First, we use sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa

sin(5pi/3)=sin(2pi/3+3pi/3)= sin(2pi/3+pi)= sin(2pi/3)cos(pi) +sin(pi)cos(2pi/3)

but we know that sin(pi)= 0, and cos (pi) = -1, so sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)

now, use sin(2a)=2sinacosa, sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)= -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)

sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)</span>

<span>sin(pi/3)= 0.86, cos(pi/3)=0.5, finally we have   </span>sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -0.86 x 0.5= -0.43</span>
