Answer:

1.03 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a come = 1/3πr²h

If the height of a right cone is 3 inches shorter than the radius, then;

h = r - 3

Substitute

V = 1/3πr²(r-3)

Given that V = 17in^3

17 = 1/3πr²(r-3)

17*3 = 3.14r²(r-3)

51/3.14 = r²(r-3)

16.242 = r²(r-3)

r² = 16.242

r = √16.242

r = 4.03

Since h = r - 3

h = 4.03 - 3

h = 1.03 inches

hence the height is 1.03 inches

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?

baherus [9]

Answer:
x
≈
16

Explanation:
Remember Sine of an angle is
opposite side
hypotenuse

So let the hypotenuse be
x
:
sin
(
47
°
)
=
opposite side
x

sin
(
47
°
)
=
12
x

To solve for
x
, divide
sin
(
47
°
)
by
12
:
x
=
12
sin
(
47
°
)

x
≈

If sec(theta) =25/24, find cot(theta) (Picture provided)

larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

$\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.$

If $\sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24},$ we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.$
