Answer:

cot theta = -√3

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that cos theta = - √3/2 within the range 180° < theta < 270° and

since cos theta = adj/hyp

adj = - √3

hyp = 2

Get the opposite using the pythagoras theorem

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

2² = opp² + (-√3)²

4 = opp² + 3

opp² = 4-3

opp² = 1

opp = 1

tan theta = opp/adj

tan theta = - 1/√3

Recall that cot theta = 1/tan theta

cot theta = 1/(-1/√3)

cot theta = -√3

How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is $592.6\ mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{3}$ ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

$z^3=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=250\ mm^3$

substitute the values

$(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}$

solve for x

$(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}$

$x=250(\frac{64}{27})$

$x=592.6\ mm^3$

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-sevent

Otrada [13]

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
