Find the angle measures.

Answers

Answer:

<1 = 168

<2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to solve for x

8x + x -9 = 180

9x -9 = 180

9x = 189

x = 21

Now, substitute in 21 for x for both angles

8(21) = 168

(21) - 9 = 12

In right triangle abc with m/C=90°, m/B=75°, and AB = 12 cm. Find the area
of triangle ABC. No trig

Answers

The area of the Triangle ABC will be 18 cm²

In the question, It is given that ∠B = 75° and ΔABC is Right angeled at ∠C = 90° and AB = 12CM.

We know that the Area of Δ is defined by : [tex](\frac{1}{2} *b*h)[/tex]

In the picture below, we have base and height BC and AC respectively.

We don't have the values for AC and BC. So to find the values of Base & Height we will use Trigonometric Ratios.

We know Sin(∠) = Perpendicular/Hyoptenuse and,

Tan(∠) = Perpenciular/Base. Putting values into the respective ratios and taking ∠B = 75°, we get

=>  [tex]Sin(B) = \frac{AC}{BC} = > Sin(75) = \frac{AC}{12}[/tex]

=>  [tex]AC = 0.96 * 12 = > AC = 11.59[/tex]

Similarly, [tex]Tan(B) = \frac{AC}{BC} = > Tan(75) = \frac{11.59}{BC}[/tex]

=>  [tex]BC = \frac{11.59}{3.73} = > BC = 3.10[/tex]

Now, we have AC = 11.59cm and BC = 3.10cm putting these values in the Area of the Triangle we get :

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *b*h[/tex]  => Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * BC * AC

Area =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 3.10 * 11.59  =>  Area = 18

Hence, we get the Area of Δ ABC = 18cm²

find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at (5,4,4), and adjacent vertices at (0,−1,5), (4,10,5), and (11,7,11).

Answers

The volume of the parallelepiped is 299³ units.

What is parallelepiped?A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional character formed by six parallelograms in geometry (the term rhomboid is also sometimes used with this meaning). It is analogous to a parallelogram in the same way that a cube is analogous to a square. In Euclidean geometry, the 4 concepts—parallelepiped and cube in three dimensions, parallelogram as well as square in two-dimension —are defined, but only parallelograms and parallelepipeds exist in the context of more general affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated.

So,

The volume of parallelopiped can be calculated using the steps below.

PQ = Q - Vertex = (-5, -5, 1)PR = R - Vertex  = (-1, 6, 1)PS = S - Vertex  = (6, 3, 7)

Now, the volume of parallelopiped is increasing:

[tex]v=\left|\begin{array}{lll}-5 & -5 & 1 \\-1 & 6 & 1 \\6 & 3 & 7\end{array}\right|[/tex]

The matrix's determinant is:

⇒ -5(42 - 3) +5(-7 -6) +1(-3 - 36)

⇒ -5(39) +5(-13) +1(-39)

⇒ -195 -65 -39

⇒ |-299| = 299

Therefore, the volume of the parallelepiped is 299³ units.

find the direction cosines and direction angles of the vector. (give the direction angles correct to the nearest tenth of a degree.)

Answers

The direction cosines of the vector r with direction angles α, β, γ to the x, y and z axis are

cosα = x/r = 3√2/10cosβ = y/r = 4√2/10 and cosγ = z/r = √2/2  

So, the direction angles are

α = cos⁻¹(x/r) = cos⁻¹(3√2/10) = 64.9°β = cos⁻¹(y/r) = cos⁻¹(4√2/10) = 55.6° and γ = cos⁻¹(z/r) = cos⁻¹(√2/2) = 45°

How to find the direction cosines and direction angles of the vector?

Given a vector r = xi + yj + zk where

x, y and z are the components of the vector in the x, y and z directions. and r = √(x² + y² + z²)

The direction cosines of the vector r with direction angles α, β, γ to the x, y and z axis are

cosα = x/r, cosβ = y/r and cosγ = z/r

So, their direction angles are

α = cos⁻¹(x/r), β = cos⁻¹(y/r) and γ = cos⁻¹(z/r)

As an example, let r = 3i + 4j + 5k

So, r = √(x² + y² + z²)

= √(3² + 4² + 5²)

= √(9 + 16 + 25)

= √50

= 5√2

The direction cosines of the vector r with direction angles α, β, γ to the x, y and z axis are

cosα = x/r = 3/5√2 = 3√2/10cosβ = y/r = 4/5√2 = 4√2/10 and cosγ = z/r = 5/5√2 = 1/√2 = √2/2  

So, the direction angles are

α = cos⁻¹(x/r) = cos⁻¹(3√2/10) =  cos⁻¹(0.4243) = 64.9°β = cos⁻¹(y/r) = cos⁻¹(4√2/10) = cos⁻¹(0.5657) = 55.6° and γ = cos⁻¹(z/r) = cos⁻¹(√2/2) = cos⁻¹(0.5657) = 45°

Answers

The area of the rectangle will be 24sq, units.

How can we calculate the area of the rectangle?

To determine the area of various polygons, there exist specialized formulae. The general formula for rectangles is as follows:

A = width x length

Given, the coordinates of the rectangle are W(0,1), X(3,4), Y(-1, 8), Z(-4,5)

So the length of rectangle will be = distance between W and X will be -

⇒[tex]\sqrt{(3 - 0)^{2} + (4-1^{2}) }[/tex]

⇒[tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]

The breadth of rectangle will be = distance between X and Y

[tex]\sqrt{(3 + 1)^{2} + (8-4)^{2} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sqrt{32}[/tex]

Now, area of rectangle = length × breadth

⇒ [tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{32}[/tex]

⇒ 24 sq. units

So, the area of the rectangle will be - 24 sq. units

Using translation concepts, it is found that:

a.

The equation is: y = -1.5(x + 4)² + 9.The domain is all real values.The range is y ≤ 9.

b.

The rule is [tex]y = -\sqrt{x + 5} + 10[/tex].The domain is x ≥ -5.The range is y ≤ 10.

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

Quadratic function

The quadratic function has vertex at (-4,-6), hence:

y = a(x + 4)² - 6

When x = -6, y = 0, hence we use it to find a as follows:

0 = 4a - 6

a = 1.5.

Hence the function is:

y = 1.5(x + 4)² - 6.

When it is reflected over the x-axis, we have that:

y -> -y.

Hence:

y = -1.5(x + 4)² + 6.

When it is moved up 3 units, we have that y -> y + 3, hence:

y = -1.5(x + 4)² + 9.

The function is defined for all real values, assuming values from negative infinity to 9, hence:

The equation is: y = -1.5(x + 4)² + 9.The domain is all real values.The range is y ≤ 9.

Square root function

The parent square root function is given by:

[tex]y = \sqrt{x}[/tex]

From the graph, it is found that:

The function was reflected over the x-axis, hence y -> -y.The function was shifted one unit to right, hence x -> x - 1.The function was shifted two units up, hence y -> y + 2.

Hence the rule is:

[tex]y = -\sqrt{x - 1} + 2[/tex]

The translations given by the item are:

6 units left, hence x -> x + 6.8 units up, hence y -> y + 8.

Thus:

[tex]y = -\sqrt{x + 5} + 10[/tex]

Then the function will be defined for values of -5 and greater, assuming values of 10 and less, hence:

The rule is [tex]y = -\sqrt{x + 5} + 10[/tex].The domain is x ≥ -5.The range is y ≤ 10.

above?
A) (-5,-2)
B) (3, -8)
C) (4, -6)
D) (9,-6)

Answers

Answer:   Choice B)   (3, -8)

=======================================================

Explanation:

I'll use the substitution method.

Let's solve the second equation for x.

2y - x = -19

-x = -19-2y

x = 19+2y

Then plug that into the first equation

3x + 4y = -23

3( x ) + 4y = -23

3(19+2y)+4y = -23

3*19 + 3*2y + 4y = -23

57+6y+4y = -23

57+10y = -23

10y = -23-57

10y = -80

y = -80/10

y = -8

Use this y value to find x.

x = 19+2y

x = 19+2(-8)

x = 19-16

x = 3

---------------------------

Summary:

We found that x = 3 and y = -8

The ordered pair solution is therefore (x,y) = (3, -8)

Technically you could have stopped once reaching y = -8, since choice B is the only one that fits the description. But it helps to have practice.

[tex]d = \sqrt {\left( {x_1 - x_2 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_1 - y_2 } \right)^2 }[/tex]

So the distance between A (4, 6) and B (9, 7) will be

The radius of a cone can be found using the formula , where stands for the volume of the cone and stands for the height. If r=3, h=6, and pi is 3.14 , find the volume (V). Round the answer to the nearest hundredths place.

Answers

The volume of the cone with radius 3 and height of the cone 6 is 56.52.

Any shape's volume in geometry is the area it takes up in a three-dimensional space. As a result, the space occupied by a cone in three dimensions is known as its volume.

The formula for the radius of a cone is given as:

r = √( 3 × V / π × h)

Where h is the height of the cone, V is the volume of the cone.

Now, squaring the above equation.

(r)² = [  √( 3 × V / π × h) ]²

r² = [ √ (3 × V) / √ ( π × h ) ]²

3V = π × r² × h

V = π × r² × h / 3

We have,

r = 3, h = 6, and π = 3.14

V = ( 3.14 × (3)² × 6 / 3 )

V = 3.14 × 3 × 6

V = 56.52
