Answer:
First lets find the area of the bottom circle:
7.2 is your radius so:
7.2^2 = 51.84 the reason why you square your radius is because thats apart of the formula when finding the are of a circle.
lets continue:
51.84 x 3.14(pi) = 162.7776
Now we need to find the area of the round surface but first we need to find the circumference of one circle and multiply it by the height.
2 x 3.14 x 7.2 = 45.216
Now lets multiply it by the height:
45.216 x 17 = 768.672
Now lets add both areas:
768.672 + 162.7776 = 931.4496 dont forget to round to the nearest hundredths place! 931.4496 rounded up = 931.45 square meters is your answer.
What do you need to find ? x and y ?
To solve for c, you need to get c onto one side of the equation, or make it c=__. So what I would do first is subtract a/b from both sides
a/b + c = d/c
-a/b
a/b - a/b + c = d/c - a/b
c = d/c-a/b
This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.
