Answer:

a.

Approximately 24.7\; \rm in.

b.

While there are three diagonals in a box (a rectangular prism,) all three diagonals goes through the same point- the centroid of this box.  

For a maximum-length poster to fit in this box, it would have to be on one of the main diagonals of this box. Hence, any maximum-length poster that fits in this box would go through the centroid of this box.

It's not possible to force more than one posters to go through the same point (i.e., the centroid) in space. Hence, it would not be possible to fit a second maximum-length poster into this box.

This argument does not apply to  21.5\; \rm in posters. These posters are shorter than the diagonal of this box; they could fit inside the box without having to go through a particular point in space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest poster that could be fit into this box (a rectangular prism) would be as long as the longest line segment in this box. That line segment would be one of the three diagonals of this box.

Apply the Pythagorean theorem twice to find the length of that diagonal.

Start by finding calculating the diagonal of the base of this box. The base of this box is a rectangle with width 8\; \rm in and length 10\; \rm in. The length of its diagonal would be \sqrt{8^2 + 10^2} inches.

Combine that with the height of this box to find the length of the diagonal of this box.

\begin{aligned}& \sqrt{{\left(\sqrt{8^2 + 10^2}\right)}^2 + 12^2  \\ &= \sqrt{8^2 + 10^2 + 12^2} \\ &\approx 24.7 \end{aligned}.

4. The cube root parent function is vertically stretched by a factor of 3, reflected in the x-axis,
Mademuasel [1]

Using translation concepts, it is found that the equation that represents the new function is:

  • y = -3\sqrt[3]{x} - 8

The cube root parent function is given by:

y = \sqrt[3]{x}

<h3>Translation:</h3>

The function goes through these following translations:

  • Vertically stretched by a factor of 3, that is, it is multiplied by 3, hence y = 3\sqrt[3]{x}.
  • Reflected over the x-axis, that is, it is multiplied by -1, hence y = -3\sqrt[3]{x}.
  • Translated 8 units down, that is, 8 is subtracted from the function, hence y = -3\sqrt[3]{x} - 8.

Then, the equation is:

  • y = -3\sqrt[3]{x} - 8

Find the exact value. cos150°
Aloiza [94]

ANSWER

\cos(150 \degree)  =    -  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the exact value of cos(150°).

150° makes an angle of 30° with the positive direction of the x-axis and it is also in the second quadrant.

The cosine ratio is negative in the second quadrant.

Using the unit circle,

\cos(150 \degree)  =  - \cos(30 \degree) =   -  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}

What does A equal to
ruslelena [56]
Since you know that PQ=RQ, you have an equilateral triangle. This makes things very simple.
Angle R should be the same as angle P.
A triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
Add angles P and R. Subtract 180 from the answer you got. That will give you 2a. a divided by 2 will give you a.

Or, since there are two right triangles, you can add 47 and 90. Subtract 180 from that and you will get a.
