Given:

cos 120°

To find:

The exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational  denominator.

Solution:

We have,

\cos 120^\circ

It can be written as

\cos 120^\circ=\cos (90^\circ+30^\circ)

\cos 120^\circ=-\sin 30^\circ             [\because \cos (90^\circ-\theta)=-\sin \theta]

\cos 120^\circ=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)             [\because \sin 30^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}]

\cos 120^\circ=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the exact value of cos 120° is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

1. A professional basketball used for league play has a diameter of 25 cm. Which of the following is closest to the volume of th
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

V = 8,181.23 cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, we are not given any answer choices to choose from but using the information provided we can find the actual volume of the basketball. A basketball is made in the shape of a sphere and the formula for the volume of a sphere is the following...

V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi  * r^{3}

radius of a circle/sphere is half of it's diameter. Since we are provided the diameter size we simply divide it by 2 which would give us 12.5cm. Now we simply plug this value into the formula and solve for V.

V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi  * 12.5^{3}

V = \frac{4}{3}  * \pi  * 1953.125

V = 8,181.23 cm^{3}
