Use the sin function to solve for the central angle.
Chord length = 2Rsin(c/2)
where
chord length =4.5 feet
radius = 5 feet
C= central angle
Rearrange the formula to get the central angle  and substitute all the given values
Central angle = 53.49 degrees

What is the value of the 19th term in the sequence -1, -5, -9, ...?
Ivanshal [37]
-5 -(-1) = -5+1= -4
and
-9 -(-5) = -9+5 = -4

we observe that the number are in AP

of the AP -
ist term = -1
common difference = -4
19th term = -1 + (19-1)(-4)= -1 -72 = -73

Two cones are similar. The surface area of the larger cone is 65π square inches. The surface area of the smaller cone is 41.6π s
devlian [24]

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (without the base) is given by:

Surface area = pi*r*s

Where r is the base radius and s is the slant height.

The smaller cone has a surface area of 41.6pi in2 and a radius of 6.4 inches, so the slant height is:

41.6pi = pi*r*s

41.6 = 6.4s

s = 6.5 in

If the cones are similar, the radius and the slant height increase in the same proportion, so we have that:

r'/s' = r/s = 6.4/6.5

s' = r'*6.5/6.4

So for the larger cone, we have:

65pi = pi*r'*s'

65 = r'*r'*6.5/6.4

r'^2 = 64

r' = 8 inches

$5000 was invested into an investment that pays 4.25% simple interest. The total value of the investment amounted to $6593.75. H
Basile [38]

Answer:

7.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $5000,

R = 4.25%,

A = $6593.75,

N =?

SI = A - P = 6593.75 - 5000 =$1593. 75

\because \: SI = \frac{ PNR}{100} \\  \\  \therefore \: 1593.75 =  \frac{5000 \times N \times 4.25}{100}  \\  \\  \therefore \: 1593.75 \times 100 = 21,250 \times N \\  \\ N =  \frac{159375}{21250}  \\  \\ N = 7.5 \: years \:
