Answer:

∠TAC is approximately equal to 61.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters for the pyramid are;

The dimension for the rectangular base are; Length = 9 cm, width = 7 cm

The length of the diagonal sides, TA, TB, TC, and TD = 12 cm each

The midpoint of the rectangular base = Point M

The diagonal AC = AM + MC

AM = MC as given M is the midpoint of the rectangular base

∴ AC = AM + MC = 2·AM

By Pythagoras' theorem, AC = √(9² + 7²) = √130

AC = √130 cm

∴ AM = AC/2 = (√130)/2 cm

Alternatively, AM = √((9/2 cm)² + (7/2 cm)²) = √(32.5) cm

∠TAC = ∠TAM

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

cos (\theta) = \dfrac{Length \ of \ adjacent \ side \ to \ angle }{Length \ of \ hypotenuse\ side \ to \ angle}

\therefore cos (\angle TAM) = cos (\angle TAC) =  \dfrac{\left (\dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{2}   \right )}{12} = \dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{2 \times 12} = \dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{24}

\angle TAC = arccos \left ( \dfrac{\sqrt{130} }{24} \right ) \approx  61.6 ^{\circ} \ to 1 \ decimal \ place

Which graph represents the function?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Top right graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph  of  f(x) = x has a slope of 1, and is increasing to the right until the point where x = -1.

The graph of f(x) = -x has a slope of -1 decreasing to the right from the point where x = -1.

The clear small circle means that the point is not included in the function ( because of the '<' ).

The filled circle means it is included ( the '≥').
