Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cos a = 3 /5

From trigonometry ;

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Side Adjacent angle a = 3 = FD

Hypotenus = 5 = DE

3 / 5 = FD / DE

FD = 6 units

3/5 = 6/DE

DE * 3/5 = 6

DE = 6 ÷ 3/5

DE = 6 * 5 /3

DE = 30 /3

DE = 10 units

The sum of the ages of Mr Lin and his son Ethan is 38 years. In three years' time, Mr Lin will be three times as old as his son.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,

   S = his son's present age.

First equation  is

L + S = 38.       (1)

The second equation is  

L + 3 = 3*(S+3)   (2)   ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")

From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You  will get

L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3),   or

L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,

4L = 114 + 9 - 3,  

4L = 120,

L = 30.

10x^3 y^-5 z^-2 if x=3 y=2 and z=5 express your answer as a reduced fraction
sineoko [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{27}{80}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 3, y = 2 and z = 5 to the given expression 10x^3y^{-5}z^{-2}:

10(3^3)(2^{-5})(5^{-2})\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\=\dfrac{10(27)}{(2^5)(5^2)}=\dfrac{270}{(32)(25)}=\dfrac{270}{800}=\dfrac{27}{80}

Convert the length 7 centimeters to meters. Compare the numerical values when both numbers are written in scientific notation
miv72 [106K]
<span>1.       </span><span>Given numbers
=> 7 centimeters convert to meters
In every 1 meter there are 100 centimeters
=> 7 / 100
=> 0.07
Therefore in 7 centimeters there are 0.07 meters.
7 cm is a whole number while 0.07 m is a decimal number
Scientific Notation of each numbers
=> 7 cm = 7 x 10^0
=> 7 m = 1 x 10^-2
Scientific notation by the way is an expression used by the scientist to make a large number or very small number easy to handle.

A cylinder has a height of 18 millimeters and a radius of 18 millimeters. What is its volume? Use ​ ≈ 3.14 and round your answer
solong [7]

Answer:

Volume = 18312.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height (h) = 18mm

Radius (r) = 18mm

Required

Determine the volume

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

Volume = \pi r^2h

Substitute values for r and h

Volume = 3.14 * 18^2 * 18

Volume = 18312.48

<em>Hence, the volume of the cylinder is 18312.48mm³</em>

A torus is formed by rotating a circle of radius r about a line in the plane of the circle that is a distance R (&gt; r) from th
jeyben [28]

Consider a circle with radius r centered at some point (R+r,0) on the x-axis. This circle has equation

(x-(R+r))^2+y^2=r^2

Revolve the region bounded by this circle across the y-axis to get a torus. Using the shell method, the volume of the resulting torus is

\displaystyle2\pi\int_R^{R+2r}2xy\,\mathrm dx

where 2y=\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}-(-\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2})=2\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}.

So the volume is

\displaystyle4\pi\int_R^{R+2r}x\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute

x-(R+r)=r\sin t\implies\mathrm dx=r\cos t\,\mathrm dt

and the integral becomes

\displaystyle4\pi r^2\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(R+r+r\sin t)\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt

Notice that \sin t\cos^2t is an odd function, so the integral over \left[-\frac\pi2,\frac\pi2\right] is 0. This leaves us with

\displaystyle4\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt

Write

\cos^2t=\dfrac{1+\cos(2t)}2

so the volume is

\displaystyle2\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(1+\cos(2t))\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{2\pi^2r^2(R+r)}
