Which is the value of X

X, Y and Z form the vertices of a triangle. XY = 12.4m, XZ = 10.4m and YZ = 8.7m. Find the angle ∠ YXZ rounded to 1 DP.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

43.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Cosine rule,

From the diagram attached,

x² = y²+z²-2yxcos∅.................... Equation 1

where ∅ = ∠YXZ

Given: x = 8.7 m, y = 10.4 m, z = 12.4 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

8.7² = 10.4²+12.4²-[2×10.4×12.4cos∅]

75.69 = (108.16+153.76)-(257.92cos∅)

75.69 = 261.92-257.92cos∅

collect like terms

257.92cos∅ = 261.92-75.69

257.92cos∅ = 186.23

Divide both sides by the coefficient of cos∅

cos∅ = 186.23/257.92

cos∅ = 0.722

Find the cos⁻¹ of both side.

∅ = cos⁻¹(0.7220)

∅ = 43.78°

∅ = 43.8°

What is minutes spent on homework

Eduardwww [97]

It appears that you have here a list of the # of minutes spent each day on HW, and that y ou need to sum up this list to answer the question. Unfortunately I cannot read the last numeral.

The answer (assuming that my guess is correct) would be found as follows:

Total hours spent on HW in one week = (18+20+22+11+19+18+ ?? )

Jenny opened a package of screws quickly and many of them spilled on the floor. She needs to organize the fasteners according to

hichkok12 [17]

We have to compare diameters and arrange them in order smallest to greatest

We can see units for option A and B are in square inches so they represents area. So first we will find diameter from area using formula

$A = \pi r^{2}$

so for choice (A) area is given as $4.375 \times 10^{7}$ . So plug this in A place in formula and then solve for radius r

$4.375 \times 10^{7} = \pi r^{2}$

$\frac{4.375 \times 10^{7}}{\pi} = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi}$

$1.393 \times 10^{7} } = r^{2}$

$\sqrt{1.393 \times 10^{7}} = \sqrt{r^{2}}$

3731.76 = r

So screw A will have
$diameter = 2 \times r = 2 \times 3731.76 = 7463.52$ inches

Similarly for choice (E) area is $1.428 \times 10^{1} = 14.28$
so again plug in formula

$A = \pi r^{2}$

$14.28 = \pi r^{2}$

$\frac{14.28}{\pi} = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi}$

$4.5477 = r^{2}$

$\sqrt{4.5477} = \sqrt{r^{2}}$

2.13201 = r

So screw E will have
$diameter = 2 \times r = 2 \times 2.13201 = 4.26402$ inches

So diameters of all screws are as follows:

Screw A: 7463.52 inches
Screw B: 1.5 inches
Screw C: $1\frac{7}{8} = \frac{1\times 8+7}{8} = \frac{15}{8} = 1.875$ inches
Screw D: 0.25 inches
Screw E: 4.26402 inches

Comparing all numbers 7463.52, 1.5, 1.875, 0.25, 4.26402 we can see that smallest number is 0.25, then comes 1.5, then 1.875 and then 4.26402 and then 7463.52

So order from least to greatest will be screw D (0.25), B(1.5), C(1.875), E (4.26402), A (7463.52).

So thats the order D,B,C,E,A and the final answer

I believe the answer is C. If you were to plug in 1 for t, you would get h=22. Thus, the max height is 22 feet, and the time it took to get there was 1 second.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

hello your question has a missing diagram attached below is the missing diagram

answer :

Mark the point of intersection S of circles R and P, and construct line QS ( option 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

when constructing a tangent line from one point ( lets say Q as seen in the question ) to a circle P. The next step should be to mark a point of intersection between the given circles and then construct a line through it
