Circumference, radius, slant height, lateral area, and surface area are measurements of a cone. Given two of the measurements, f
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

  1. LA = 21.7 ft²; C = 18.8 ft; h = 2.3 ft
  2. h = 8 in; r = 7 in; SA = 330.1 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Applicable relations are ...

  C = 2πr . . . . . . . r = radius, C = circumference

  LA = 1/2·Ch . . . . h = slant height, LA = lateral area

  SA = πr² +LA . . . SA = total surface area

__

1. Given r and SA, we can find the other measures as ...

  LA = SA -πr² = 50 ft² -π(3 ft)² ≈ 21.7 ft²

  C = 2πr = 2π(3 ft) ≈ 18.8 ft

  h = 2·LA/C ≈ 2·21.7 ft²/(18.8 ft) ≈ 2.3 ft

(Please note that for calculations using intermediate results, we used the full-precision values of those results, not the rounded ones. Rounding is always the last operation. Please note, too, that we have used a value for π sufficient to ensure accuracy in all the digits shown here.)

__

2. Given C and LA, we can find the other measures as ...

  h = 2·LA/C = 2(176 in²)/(44 in) = 8 in

  r = C/(2π) = (44 in)/(2π) ≈ 7.0 in

  SA = LA +πr² = LA +rC/2 ≈ 176 in² +(7.0 in)(44 in)/2 ≈ 330.1 in²

Use triangle ABC drawn below & only the sides labeled. Find the side of length AB in terms of side a, side b & angle C o
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The above triangle

Required

Solve for AB in terms of a, b and angle C

Considering right angled triangle BOC where O is the point between b-x and x

From BOC, we have that:

Sin\ C = \frac{h}{a}

Make h the subject:

h = aSin\ C

Also, in BOC (Using Pythagoras)

a^2 = h^2 + x^2

Make x^2 the subject

x^2 = a^2 - h^2

Substitute aSin\ C for h

x^2 = a^2 - h^2 becomes

x^2 = a^2 - (aSin\ C)^2

x^2 = a^2 - a^2Sin^2\ C

Factorize

x^2 = a^2 (1 - Sin^2\ C)

In trigonometry:

Cos^2C = 1-Sin^2C

So, we have that:

x^2 = a^2 Cos^2\ C

Take square roots of both sides

x= aCos\ C

In triangle BOA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we have that:

AB^2 = h^2 + (b-x)^2

Open bracket

AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

Substitute x= aCos\ C and h = aSin\ C in AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

AB^2 = h^2 + b^2-2bx+x^2

AB^2 = (aSin\ C)^2 + b^2-2b(aCos\ C)+(aCos\ C)^2

Open Bracket

AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C+a^2Cos^2\ C

Reorder

AB^2 = a^2Sin^2\ C +a^2Cos^2\ C + b^2-2abCos\ C

Factorize:

AB^2 = a^2(Sin^2\ C +Cos^2\ C) + b^2-2abCos\ C

In trigonometry:

Sin^2C + Cos^2 = 1

So, we have that:

AB^2 = a^2 * 1 + b^2-2abCos\ C

AB^2 = a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2-2abCos\ C}

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (−1,1) and (7,−5)
icang [17]

The equation is y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

So, the midpoint will be (\frac{-1+7}{2} , \frac{1-5}{2} )\\\\

                                  = (3,-2)

It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope is \frac{-5-1}{7+1} = -\frac{2}{3}

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of  -\frac{2}{3} is \frac{3}{2}

To write an equation, substitute the values in y = mx + c

WHere,

y = -1

x = 3

m = 3/2

Solving for c:

-1 = \frac{3}{2} X 3 + c\\\\-1 = \frac{9}{2}+c\\ \\c = \frac{-2-9}{2} \\\\c = \frac{-11}{2}

Thus, the equation becomes:

y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}

Suppose the population of a certain city is 5769 . It is expected to decrease to 4963 in 50 years. Find the percent decrease.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

≈ 13.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.

4963/5769=0.8602

Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage

0.8602*100=86.02%

Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease

100% - 86.02% = 13.98%

Also you can say that is approximately  14%
