The square piece of wood measures 32 in per side,
Then the circle that can be cut off it has a radius of 16 in (half of the diameter 32 in)
Therefore, the area of the circle is going to be given by the formula:
And the area of the initial square was:
Area = 32^2 in^2 = 1024 in^2
Therefore the left-overs of the piece of wood would be the difference:
1024 in^2 - 803.84 in^2
Answer:
No, the clay will not pour out easily. I know this because the angle of the truck bed is less than 50°, which is the minimum angle for easy pouring.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
If α represents the angle of the truck bed, this means ...
sin(α) = 9/15
We can find α using the inverse sine function:
α = arcsin(9/15) ≈ 36.87°
We note this angle is less than 50° so we expect the clay will not pour out easily.
