Answer: a = 23 ft.
Reasoning:
The question asks for the value of the leg a, given the tangent of the opposite angle and the length of the adjacent-leg, b.
The ratio that relates the three parameters is:
tan(A) = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = a / b = a / 23 ft
Solve for a, wich is the unknown:
a = 23ft * tan(A) = 23ft * 1.0 = 23 ft
Answer: 23 ft.
Answer:
5in by 5in by 5in
Step-by-step explanation:
We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.
Given
Volume = 125in³
Formula
V = w²h ..... 1
S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2
w is the side length of the square base
h is the height of the prism
125 = w²h
h = 125/w² ..... 3
Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown
S = 2w²+4wh
S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)
S = 2w²+500/w
To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0
dS/dw =4w-500/w²
0= 4w-500/w²
Multiply through by w²
0 = 4w³-500
-4w³ = -500
w³ = 500/4
w³ =125
w = cuberoot(125)
w = 5in
Get the height
125 =w²h
125 = 25h
h = 125/25
h = 5in
Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in
Final answer:
Since absolute values determine the distance between the number and the value whether the value is positive or negative. As distance is always positive.
Thus, |a| is always nonnegative, even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is said that |a| is always nonnegative even though even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step 2
This is because by the definition of an absolute value, any real number inside an absolute value symbol || will always be positive.
