Answer:

  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the length of the third side. The first side is 7 ft more, so is (t +7). The second side is 1 ft shorter than 3 times the third side, so is (3t -1). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  21 = (t +7) +(3t -1) +t

  21 = 5t +6

  15 = 5t . . . . . . . subtract 6

  3 = t . . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the length of the second side is ...

  3t -1 = 3·3 -1 = 8 . . . . feet

The length of the second side is 8 feet.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first side is 3+7 = 10 ft. So the three side lengths are 10 ft, 8 ft, 3 ft.

find the volume of the shaded solid. Round your answer to 2 decimal places if necessary. Use pi=3.14 when necessary. cylinder wi
padilas [110]
Ok so what we have is a large cylinder with a hollow cylindrical tube running thru the center. The volume of the shaded region should be the volume of the entire large cylinder (C) minus the volume of the small cylindrical tube (c): C - c
The volume of any cylinder is the area of the top circle (pi×r^2) times the height (h) of the cylinder, where r=radius of the circle. So: h×pi×r^2
The heights are the same for C and c, so we can call that h in both, which = 30ft. Now C's radius (R) = 1/2 of diameter, which is 18ft. So R = 9ft
c's radius (r) is 1/2 of its diameter, which is 6ft. So r = 3ft. Now we can set it up:
C - c = (h×pi×R^2) - (h×pi×r^2)
*since the h and pi in both formulae are multiplied by the other variable, we can factor that out:
h×pi(R^2) - h×pi(r^2) = h×pi(R^2-r^2)
h×pi = 30ft.×3.14 = 94.2ft. -->
94.2ft(9ft^2-3ft^2) = 94.2ft(81-9ft^2)
= 94.2ft(72ft^2) = 6782.4 ft.^3

Find the function value. Round to four decimal places.
Aleks04 [339]
Convert to degrees

34°18' is the same as 34° 18' 0"

34° 18' 0" = 34° + 18'/60 + 0"/3600
= 34.3°

putting tan(34.3) into a calculator in degree mode

tan ( 34°18' )= tan(34.3) = 0.6822
