<h3>Answer:   Ellipse</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Imagine that this plane was a saw blade, or a laser, that cut the cone. We would have two pieces and each piece would have a shape of an ellipse on them. The cutting plane would also have the same ellipse shape.

Or you think of the cutting plane as a flat piece of cloth. If we cut everything around the cone, then we would have an ellipse shaped hole as a result.

The reason why we get an ellipse and not a circle is because the plane is angled like that. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the circular base in order to get a circular cross section.

Is (3,4) a solution to the system of<br> equations. <br> X + y = 7<br> x - 2y = - 5
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Yes, the point (3,4) is a solution to the system.

===================================================

Proof of this:

Replace x with 3 and y with 4 in the first equation

x+y = 7

3+4 = 7

7 = 7

This confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation

x-2y = -5

3-2(4) = -5

3 - 8 = -5

-5 = -5

We get true equations for both when we plug in (x,y) = (3,4). This confirms it is a valid solution to the system of equations. It turns out it's the only solution to this system of equations. Visually, the two lines cross at the single location (3,4).

Answer:

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

  • Length of all missing sides.

<u>FORMULAES TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>

  • \sin \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}
  • \cos \theta = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}
  • \tan \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

1) θ = 16°

Length of side opposite to θ = 7

Hypotenuse = x

=> \sin 16 = \frac{7}{x}

=> \frac{7}{x} = 0.27563......

=> x = \frac{7}{0.27563....} = 25.39568..... ≈ 25.3

2) θ = 29°

Length of side opposite to θ = 6

Hypotenuse = x

=> \sin 29 = \frac{6}{x}

=> \frac{6}{x} = 0.48480......

=> x = \frac{6}{0.48480....} = 12.37599..... ≈ 12.3

3) θ = 30°

Length of side opposite to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 11

=> \sin 30 = \frac{x}{11}

=> \frac{x}{11} = 0.5

=> x = 0.5 \times 11 = 5.5

4) θ = 43°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 12

=> \cos 43 = \frac{x}{12}

=> \frac{x}{12} = 0.73135......

=> x = 12 \times 0.73135.... = 8.77624.... ≈ 8.8

5) θ = 55°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 6

=> \cos 55 = \frac{x}{6}

=> \frac{x}{6} = 0.57357......

=> x = 6 \times 0.57357.... = 3.44145.... ≈ 3.4

6) θ = 73°

Length of side adjacent to θ = 8

Hypotenuse = x

=> \cos 73 = \frac{8}{x}

=> \frac{8}{x} = 0.29237......

=> x = \frac{8}{0.29237.....} = 27.36242..... ≈ 27.3

7) θ = 69°

Length of side opposite to θ = 12

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

=> \tan 69 = \frac{12}{x}

=> \frac{12}{x} = 2.60508......

=> x = \frac{12}{2.60508....}  = 4.60636.... ≈ 4.6

8) θ = 20°

Length of side opposite to θ = 11

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

=> \tan 20 = \frac{11}{x}

=> \frac{11}{x} = 0.36397......

=> x = \frac{11}{0.36397....}  =30.22225.... ≈ 30.2
