Height of a trapezoid:
h = 5 · sin 80° = 5 · 0.985 = 4.924
x = 5 · cos 80° = 5 · 0.17365 = 0.868
7 - x = 7 - 0.868 = 6.132
By the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 6.132² + 4.924²
d² = 37.6 + 24.25
d² = 61.85
d = √61.85
d = 7.86 ≈ 8
Answer: The length of a diagonal brace is 8 feet.

Find the coordinates of the point (a, b).
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } and b = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, the radius of the unit circle is 1 unit (it is the hypotenuse in the right triangle, the blue line)

We use trigonometric formulas to find out a and b

  • Sin(45) = opposite side / hypotenuse

<=> Sin(45) = b / 1

<=> b= Sin(45)*1 = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

  • Cos(45) = adjacent side / hypotenuse

<=> Cos(45) = a / 1

<=> a =  Cos(45)*1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

So: a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } and b = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

A cone has a height of 1 meter and a diameter of 2 meters. What is it’s volume
Ber [7]

Cone volume formula: V = πr²h/3

r = radius

h = height

The radius is half the diameter, so, we can divide.

2 / 2 = 1

Now, solve with the given values.

V = π(1)²(1)/3

V = π(1)(1/3)

V = 3.14(1/3)

V ≈ 1.05

Therefore, the volume is roughly 1.05m^3

Best of Luck!

Geometry- The base of a triangle is sqrt 18 cm and it’s height is sqrt 8 cm find it’s area.
inn [45]

Answer:

72 Centimeters

Explanation:

Formula for area: 1 /2 b · h

b = Base (18 cm.)

h = height (8 cm.)

1 / 2 Base: 9

height: 8

9 · 8 = 72

Therefore the area of the triangle is 72 centimeters
