Answer:

  • 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat captain, lighthouse and its base form a right triangle.

<u>We need to find the angle opposite to 22 ft side:</u>

  • tan x = 22/103
  • x = arctan (22/103)
  • x = 21°

<em>Note, option D should read 21° not 11°</em>

What is the effect on the volume of a sphere if the radius is divided by 3?
Neko [114]

For this case we have by definition, that the volume of a sphere is given by:

V = \frac {4} {3} \pi * r ^ 3

Where:

r: It is the radius of the sphere

If the radius is divided by 3 we have:

\frac {r} {3}:

V = \frac {4} {3} \pi * (\frac {r} {3}) ^ 3\\V = \frac {4} {3} \pi * \frac {r ^ 3} {27}\\V = \frac {4} {81} \pi * r ^ 3

ANswer:

the volume decreases considerably because the denominator increases

** 3x - x -7 = 3

2x = 10

x = 5

** <span>6. 3x - 3 -x = 3

18x - 3 - x = 3

** <span>7. -1 - 2x + 3x = 5

-7 - 2x + 3x = 5

-7 + x = 5

x = 12

** </span><span>8. 3x - 22 - x = 6

24x - 22 - x = 6
