Remark.
Thank you for the clear diagram. You need to find AB somehow. When you do you can find the desired angle by using the inverse tan.

Step One
Find AB
AB = the radius of the cone
AB = 1/2 the diameter of the cone
AB = 1/2 * 4
AB = 2 inches.

Step two
Determine The Tangent of the desired angle
Tan(A) = opposite of adjacent
opposite side = h = 6 inches
Adjacent = AB = radius = 2 inches.

Tan(A) = 6/2 = 3

Step 3
Find the inverse Tan
A = inverse Tan(A)
A = inverse Tan(3)
A = 71.57 degrees <<<<< Answer.

There are other ways of finding the angle you want, but I think this is the quickest.

An apartment building is infested with 6.2 X 10 ratsOn average, each of these rats

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 3.41x10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the year, we have:

R = 6.2x10 rats.

And we know that, in one year, each rat produces:

O = 5.5x10 offsprins.

Then each one of the 6.2x10 initial rats will produce 5.5x10 offsprings in one year, then after one year we have a total of:

(6.2x10)*(5.5x10) = (6.2*5.5)x(10*10) = 34.1x10^2

and we can write:

34.1 = 3.41x10

then: 34.1x10^2 = 3.41x10^3

So after one year, the average number of rats is: 3.41x10^3

On a coordinate plane, 2 lines are shown. Line P Q has points (negative 5, 3) and (5, 1). Line R S has points (negative 4, negat

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Given:

Line P Q has points (-5, 3) and (5, 1).

Line R S has points (-4, -2) and (0, -4).

To find:

The relationship between lines PQ and RS.

Solution:

If a line passing through two points, then the slope of line is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Line P Q has points (-5, 3) and (5, 1). So, slope of line PQ is

$m_1=\dfrac{1-3}{5-(-5)}$

$m_1=\dfrac{-2}{5+5}$

$m_1=\dfrac{-2}{10}$

$m_1=\dfrac{-1}{5}$

Line R S has points (-4, -2) and (0, -4). So, slope of line RS is

$m_2=\dfrac{-4-(-2)}{0-(-4)}$

$m_2=\dfrac{-4+2}{0+4}$

$m_2=\dfrac{-2}{4}$

$m_2=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

$m_1\neq m_2$

They are not parallel because their slopes are not equal.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

1 decimeter on the map represents 100 meters on the ground. The scale ratio is 1 to ___.

balandron [24]

1 dm represents 100 m implies that 10 cm represents 100 m, so the scale is 1 : 10, that means that 1 cm is 10 m in the map.

dmitriy555 [2]

Point (-5,-3) Slope -2
Y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y + 3 = -2 (x + 5)
y + 3 = -2x - 10
y = -2x -13

The line will also go through the point (0, -13)
