Consider the case of a triangle with sides 5, 12, and the angle between them 90°.

Answer:

a) Applying Pithagoras Theorem

b) Trigonometric relations

c) No we can not

d) No we can not

e) See step-by-step explanation

f) See step-by-step-explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The easiest method for calculating the missing side is applying Pithagoras Theorem

c²  =  a²  +  b²

c²  =  (5)²  +  (12)²      ⇒  c²  = 25 + 144    ⇒ c²  =  169    ⇒  c  = 13

b) The easiest method to find the missing angles, is to calculate the sin∠ and then look for arcsin fuction in tables.

sin ∠α = 5/13    sin ∠α = 0.3846    ⇒      arcsin (0.3846 )   α  = 23⁰

Now we can either get the other angle subtracting 180 - 90 - 23 = 67⁰

Or calculating sinβ = 12 /13    sinβ = 0.9230  arcsin(0.9230)   β = 67⁰

c) The law of cosines should not be applied to right triangles, in fact for instance in our particular case we have:

Question a)

c²  = a² + b² - 2*a*b*cos90⁰   (law of cosines ) but cos 90⁰ = 0

then c²  = a² + b² which is the expression for theorem of Pithagoras

In case you look for calculating the missing angles

c²  = a²  +  b²  - 2*5*13*cos α

169 = 25  +  144 - 2*5*13* cos α

As you can see 169 - 25 - 144 = 0

Then we can not  apply law of cosine in right triangles, we shoul apply trigonometric relations and Pithagoras theorem, and as we saw you can get the expression of Pithagoras theorem from cosine law

c²  =  a²  +  b²  - 2*a*b*cos∠90°    cos ∠ 90°  = 0

Then     c²  =  a²  +  b²

14. A sphere is inscribed in a cube with an edge of 10. What is the shortest possible distance from one of the vertices of the c
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

5(√3 - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Edge of cube = 10

If the sphere is inscribed in a cube, the edges of the cube is equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Diameter = 10

We will then find the diagonal of the cube.

Diagonal = √10^2 + 10^2 + 10^2

= √300

= 10√3

Let X be the distance between the vertex of the cube and the surface of the sphere

X = (diagonal - diameter) /2

X = (10√3 - 10)/2

X = (10(√3 - 1))/2

X = 5(√3 - 1)

Montano1993 [528]
This  is a perfect square  parabola
 f(x) = (2x + 5)^2 

the graph will be a parabola opening upwards and will touch the x-axis at x = -2.5

During the final 5 seconds of a race a cyclist increased her velocity from 4 m/s to 7 m/s . What was her average acceleration du
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the cyclist was 0.6 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration:

The rate change of velocity per unit time is call the acceleration of the object.

a=\frac{v-u}t

u= initial velocity

v= final velocity

t= time taken change of velocity.

During the final 5 seconds of a race cyclist increased her velocity from 4m/s to 7 m/s

Here v= 7 m/s and u=4 m/s t=5 seconds

\therefore a=\frac{7\ m/s-4 \ m/s}{5s}

     =\frac{3}{5} \ m/s^2

     =0.6 m/s²

The average acceleration of the cyclist was 0.6 m/s².
