A bridge is supported by triangular braces. If the sides of each brace have lengths 63 feet, 46 feet, and 40 feet, find the measure of the angle opposite the 46 foot side. Round to the nearest degree.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sides of each brace have lengths 63 feet, 46 feet, and 40 feet.

To find:

The measure of the angle opposite the 46 foot side.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines:

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}[/tex]

We need to find the measure of the angle opposite the 46 foot side. So, [tex]a=46[/tex] and the other sides are [tex]b=63,c=40[/tex].

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{(63)^2+(40)^2-(46)^2}{2(63)(40)}[/tex]

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{3969 +1600-2116}{5040}[/tex]

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{3453}{5040}[/tex]

[tex]\cos A=\dfrac{1151}{1680}[/tex]

Taking cos inverse on both sides, we get

[tex]A=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{1151}{1680}[/tex]

[tex]A=46.75503[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 47[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of the angle opposite the 46 foot side is 47 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is mean?  The mean is the same as an average. To find the mean, add all the letters together. Then, divide this sum by the total amount of numbers.

Step One: 73+ 81+51 +76+ 89+ 95+88= 553

Step Two: Divide by numbers, in this case, there are 7: 553/7= 79.

the volume of a sphere is 4851 cubic cm find its diameter​

Answers

Answer:

The diameter is 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr³, or (in terms of the diameter)  V = (4/3)π(d/2)³.  This simplifies to

       4πd³          πd³

V = ----------- = -----------

        3·8               6

Now equate V = (πd³/6) to 4851 cm³.  We must first solve this for d³ and then take the cube root of the result:

πd³ = 4851(6) = 29106.

Dividing this result by π yields 9264.7,

and taking the cube root of this is 21.  The diameter is 21 cm

A central angle of a circle measures π/3 radians.The length of the minor arc intercepted by this central angle is 7 inches. Find the length of the radius of the circle.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6.68 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc is given by ...

  s = rθ . . . . θ in radians

Then the radius is ...

  r = s/θ

  r = (7 in)/(π/3) = 21/π in ≈ 6.6845 in

The radius of the circle is about 6.68 inches.

Answer:

Solution :-

Angle of circle = π/3 r

Length of minor arc = 7 in

Now

We know that

Radius = Length/Angle

Radius = 7/(π/3)

Radius = 7/π × 3

Radius = 21/π
