Answer:

21.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can use trig functions. We are given the side adjacent to the 37° given and we are looking for the hypotenuse. This means that cosine function is the most suitable. Cosine is written as:

cos(θ°) = adjacent / hypotenuse

We can substitute the values we have:

cos(37°) = 17.3 / x

And rewrite the expression:

x = 17.3 / cos(37°)

Then, use a calculator to evaluate:

x = 21.66194689

This can be rounded to 21.7

7- a. What is the radius of the circle with center (3,10) that passes through (12,12)?

loris [4]

Answer: a. Radius of circle = $\sqrt{85}$

b. The equation of this circle : $(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Center of the circle = (3,10)

Circle is passing through (12,12).

a. To find the radius we apply distance formula (∵ Radius is the distance from center to any point ion the circle.)

Radius of circle = $\sqrt{(12-3)^2+(12-10)^2}$

Radius of circle = $\sqrt{(9)^2+(2)^2}=\sqrt{81+4}=\sqrt{85}$

i.e. Radius of circle = $\sqrt{85}$

b. Equation of a circle = $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , where (h,k)=Center and r=radius of the circle.

Put the values of (h,k)= (3,10) and r= $\sqrt{85}$ , we get

$(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=(\sqrt{85})^2$

$(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

∴ The equation of this circle : $(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

The height of mount everest, in meters, can be found by multiplying 8.85 by 1,000. Find the height of mount everest. Can u expla

max2010maxim [7]

For this case we have that the height is given by the following product:

$h = (8.85) * (1000)$

When we multiply a number by multiples of 10, what we must do is move the decimal to the right as many spaces as the number of zeros that has the multiple number of 10.

We note that 1000 has three zeros. Therefore, we must move the decimal three spaces to the right.

We have then:

$h = 8850 m$

Answer:

the height of mount everest, in meters, is:

$h = 8850 m$
