Answer:

19°

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached an image showing this elevation.

From the image, let's first find the angle A by using cosine rule.

Thus;

8.1² = 5.5² + 13.1² - 2(5.5 × 13.1)cos A

65.61 = 30.25 + 171.61 - 144.1cos A

144.1cos A = 171.61 + 30.25 - 65.61

144.1cosA = 136.25

cosA = 136.25/144.1

cosA = 0.9455

A = cos^(-1) 0.9455

A = 19°

Express the edge length of a cube as a function of the cube's diagonal length d. Then express the surface area & volume of t

Lorico [155]

D = sqrt(3s^2) where s is the length of the side. Solving for s,

3s^2 = d^2 iff 
s^2 = d^2 / 3 iff 
s = sqrt(d^2 / 3) 
= d / sqrt(3) or d sqrt(3) / 3 

Surface area of the cube = 6 s^2. Thus, 
A = 6 (d / sqrt(3))^2 
= 6d^2 / 3 
= 2d^2 

Volume = s^3. Thus, 
V = (d / sqrt(3))^3 
= d^3 / 3sqrt(3) 
= d^3 sqrt(3) / 9

densk [106]

Answer:

<h2>p(obtaining a red counter) = 0.625</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of counters in the bag is 5 + 3 = 8.

and only 5 are red.

Then

the probability of obtaining a red counter is :
