Imagine that we cut the cone in half with a vertical plane. In this plane we'd see points a, b and c. We need to find the measure of angle bca, and then double that angle, to obtain the answer to this problem.
Note that tan (angle bca) = opp / adj = 2 / 6, or 1/3, or 0.333...
Working backwards to find angle bca, we use the inverse tangent function:
arctan 0.3333.. = approx. 0.322 radians, or 18.435 degrees.
Doubling that gives us the measurement of the angle formed between the line segments: 2(18.435 deg) = 36.9 degrees, approximately.
Answer:
answer is just a-5
Step-by-step explanation:
its is a-5 without absolute value
First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3
Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept
