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

in the three stacks of books there are 15 books, 9 books and 9 books if the books were rearranged so that the stack had the same
zepelin [54]

Answer:

<u>There would be 11 books in each stack, to have the same number.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Books in stack 1 = 15

Books in stack 2 = 9

Books in stack 3 = 9

2.  If the books were rearranged so that the stack had the same number of books how many books would be even?​

Total books = Books in stack 1 + Books in stack 2 + Books in stack 3

Total books = 15 + 9 + 9

Total books = 33

Total books/Number of stacks = Number of books per stack to be the same

33/3 = Number of books per stack to be the same

<u>Number of books per stack to be the same = 11</u>

I need help with this question. The directions say to evaluate and express the answer in the simplest form.
topjm [15]

Answer:

<h2>1/243</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(9)^-5/2

In order to get rid of the negative exponent, take the reprocal of 9/1

⇒(\frac{1}{9})^5/2

\frac{1^\frac{5}{2} }{9\frac{5}{2} }⇒This is also the same thing but we’re are breaking it down.

\frac{(1^{\frac{1}{2})^{5} } }{(9\frac{1}{2})^{5} }⇒We are further breaking this down...

^\frac{1}{2} is technically the square root of a number.

\sqrt{1}^{5}=1

\sqrt{9}^{5}=243
