Answer:

<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.

The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.

The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.

Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.

The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm

How do you solve sin (5pi/3) without a calculator?
Savatey [412]

very simple, we use the formula sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa and sin(20)=2sinacosa

5pi = 2pi/3+3pi/3,

First, we use sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa

sin(5pi/3)=sin(2pi/3+3pi/3)= sin(2pi/3+pi)= sin(2pi/3)cos(pi) +sin(pi)cos(2pi/3)

but we know that sin(pi)= 0, and cos (pi) = -1, so sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)

now, use sin(2a)=2sinacosa, sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)= -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)

sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)</span>

<span>sin(pi/3)= 0.86, cos(pi/3)=0.5, finally we have   </span>sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -0.86 x 0.5= -0.43</span>
