Answer:

cosA = √(21/25)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1

Next, we know that sin(A) = 2/5. Plugging that into our equation, we get

(2/5)² + cos²A = 1

4/25 + cos²A = 1

subtract 4/25 from both sides to isolate cos²A

cos²A = 1 - 4/25 = 25/25-4/25 = 21/25

square root both sides to get

cosA = √(21/25)

We do not include -√(21/25) in our possible answer for cosA because this is in quadrant 1, so cosA must be positive.

A single microvillus is a rod-like structure that is 1.0 μm in height. It has a hemispherical top approximately 0.1 μm in diamet

Answer:

so, the figure here is a cylinder with a semi sphere on the top, we know the height of whole structure, and the radius of the semi sphere, which is the same as the radius of the cylinder (you can see it because the radius of the semisphere is constant, and you can thin on it as half a sphere over a cylinder).

First, the cylinder will be the structure without the semi sphere, so his height will be te total height minus the radius of the semi sphere, which is 0.9μm.

so now we know the height and the radius of the cylinder, the surface or the sides of it is 2*3.14*r*h = 2*3.14*0.9μm*0.1μm = 0.5662 $μm^{2}$ .
