Given:

In ΔOPQ, m∠Q=90°, m∠O=26°, and QO = 4.9 feet.

To find:

The measure of side PQ.

Solution:

In ΔOPQ,

m\angle O+m\angle P+m\angle Q=180^\circ        [Angle sum property]

26^\circ+m\angle P+90^\circ=180^\circ

m\angle P+116^\circ=180^\circ

m\angle P=180^\circ -116^\circ

m\angle P=64^\circ

According to Law of Sines, we get

\dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C}

Using the Law of Sines, we get

\dfrac{p}{\sin P}=\dfrac{o}{\sin O}

\dfrac{QO}{\sin P}=\dfrac{PQ}{\sin O}

Substituting the given values, we get

\dfrac{4.9}{\sin (64^\circ)}=\dfrac{PQ}{\sin (26^\circ)}

\dfrac{4.9}{0.89879}=\dfrac{PQ}{0.43837}

\dfrac{4.9}{0.89879}\times 0.43837=PQ

2.38989=PQ

Approximate the value to the nearest tenth of a foot.

PQ\approx 2.4

Therefore, the length of PQ is 2.4 ft.

What value should go in the empty box to complete the calculation for finding the product of 62.834 × 0.45? A)2,213,360 B)2,313,
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

28.27530

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 62.834 × 0.45, to solve this expression, first we need to convert it to fraction

62.834 = 62834/1000

0.45 = 45/100

Take the product if the resulting fraction:

62.834 × 0.45 = 62834/1000 × 45/100

= (62834×45)/1000×100

= 2,827,530/100,000

= 28.27530
