Sometimes it helps to draw it out...
(17)
C_______M_________Q

21
therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===
It is impossible because it's base is not circular. A solid of revolution is <span>obtained by rotating a </span>plane curve<span> around some </span>straight line, that is, <span>the </span>axis of revolution that lies on the same plane. The closest to a square pyramid applying this concept is by rotating a right triangle around the opposite or adjacent side (the axis), but the shape that you get is a straight circular cone.
y = 3x :) hope this helps!
Answers:
- sin(C) = 24/25
- cos(Z) = 5/13
=============================================
Explanation:
The formulas we use are
- sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
- cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
The fraction 15/39 reduces to 5/13 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3.
