Find the length of side BC give your answer to three significant figures

Mathematics
1 answer:
enot [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

19.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

This is a right triangle. We're given an angle, the side adjacent to the angle and we're solving for the hypotenuse. Given this information, we can use the cosine ratio:

cos\theta=\frac{adj}{hyp}

Plug in the given angle and side

cos71=\frac{6.3}{BC}\\BC=\frac{6.3}{cos71} \\BC=19.4

Therefore, the length of BC is 19.4 cm when rounded to 3 significant figures.

I hope this helps!

What is the arc length of the arc sub tended in a circle with radius 6 and an angle of 7 pi/ 8
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Formula for the Arc length is given by:

\text{Arc length} = 2 \pi r \cdot \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}

As per the statement:

radius of circle(r) = 6 units

Angle (\theta) = \frac{7 \pi}{8} radian

Use conversion:

1 rad = \frac{180}{\pi}

\frac{7 \pi}{8} = \frac{180}{\pi} \cdot \frac{7 \pi}{8} = \frac{1260}{8} = 157.5^{\circ}

then;

substitute these given values we have;

Use value of \pi = 3.14

\text{Arc length} = 2\cdot 3.14 \cdot (6) \cdot \frac{157.5^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}

or

\text{Arc length} = 2\cdot 3.14 \cdot (6) \cdot 0.4375

Simplify:

\text{Arc length}=16.485

Therefore, the arc length of the arc substended in a circle with radius 6 units an angle of 7 pi/8 is 16.485 units

Please some help for question 1
o-na [289]

Answer:

f (3) is equal to 31

Step-by-step explanation:

f (3) means that x is equal to 3 [hence f (x) ---> f (3)]

Plugin 3 into all the x values to solve:

4(3)^2 - 2(3) + 1

4(9) - 6 + 1

36 - 6 + 1

30 + 1

31

f (3) is equal to 31

How are prisms and pyramids alike and how are they different?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Prisms and pyramids are  geometric shapes that have flat sides, flat bases and angles. So those are some similarities. However, the bases and side faces on prisms and pyramids differ. Prisms have two bases while pyramids only have one. There are a variety of pyramids and prisms, so not all shapes in each category look the same.

What is the solution of the equation 14^x=5?<br> Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth.
deff fn [24]
Take ln to both sides
ln 14^x = ln 5
then you'll get
x ln 14 = ln 5
divide both sides by ln 14
x = 0.6098533345
after rounding
x = 0.6099

A fitted multiple regression equation is Y = 28 + 5X1 - 4X2 + 7X3 + 2X4. When X1 increases 2 units and X2 increases 2 units as w
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A. Increase by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  fitted multiple regression equation is

Y = 28 + 5X_1 -4X_2 + 7X_3 + 2X_4

This is a multiple regression line with dependent variable y and independent variables x1, x2, x3 and x4

The coefficients of independent variables represent the slope.

In other words the coefficients represent the rate of change of y when xi is changed by 1 unit.

Given that x3 and x4 remain unchanged and x1 increases by 2 and x2 by 2 units

Since slope of x1 is 5, we find for one unit change in x1 we can have 5 units change in y

i.e. for 2 units change in x1, we expect 10 units change in Y

Similarly for 2 units change in x2, we expect -2(4) units change in Y

Put together we have

10-8 =2 change in y

Since positive 2, there is an increase by 2

A. Increase by 2
