Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.

This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:

  • sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse
  • cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tanθ= opposite/adjacent

Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is <u>opposite</u> angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the <u>hypotenuse</u> because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}

  • θ= 54
  • opposite= x
  • hypotenuse = 2.3

sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3

2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3

2.3* sin (54)=x

2.3*0.8090169944=x

1.860739087 =x

Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

1.9 \approx x

x is approximately <u>1.9</u>

Determine the volume of a sphere with a great circle of radius 12 cm.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

7238 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the great circle is the radius of the sphere.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is

V = ⁴/₃πr³

V = ⁴/₃π (12)³ = ⁴/₃π × 1728 = 2304π cm³ ≈ 7238 cm³
