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.

The blue segment below is a radius of O. What is the length of the diameter of the circle?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

B, 14.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is be because:

the diameter = radius times 2

radius= 7.3

diameter=7.3*2

              =14.6

Therefore the answer is, B

The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.05 inches and a standard dev
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = 0.15716

(b) Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between .3 and 3.2 = 0.3814

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with;

    Mean, \mu = 30.05 inches        and    Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.2 inches

Let X = A sheet selected at random from the population

Here, the standard normal formula is ;

                  Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

(a) <em>The Probability that a sheet selected at random from the population is between 30.25 and 30.65 inches long = P(30.25 < X < 30.65) </em>

P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = P(X < 30.65) - P(X <= 30.25)

P(X < 30.65) = P(\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{30.65 - 30.05}{0.2} ) = P(Z < 3) = 1 - P(Z >= 3) = 1 - 0.001425

                                                                                                = 0.9985

P(X <= 30.25) = P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} <= \frac{30.25 - 30.05}{0.2} ) = P(Z <= 1) = 0.84134

Therefore, P(30.25 < X < 30.65) = 0.9985 - 0.84134 = 0.15716 .

(b)<em> Let Y = Standard Normal Variable is given by N(0,1) </em>

<em> Which means mean of Y = 0 and standard deviation of Y = 1</em>

So, Probability that a standard normal random variable will be between 0.3 and 3.2 = P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = P(Y < 3.2) - P(Y <= 0.3)

 P(Y < 3.2) = P(\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{3.2 - 0}{1} ) = P(Z < 3.2) = 1 - P(Z >= 3.2) = 1 - 0.000688

                                                                                           = 0.99931

 P(Y <= 0.3) = P(\frac{Y - \mu}{\sigma} <= \frac{0.3 - 0}{1} ) = P(Z <= 0.3) = 0.61791

Therefore, P(0.3 < Y < 3.2) = 0.99931 - 0.61791 = 0.3814 .

A rectangular swimming pool measures 14 feet by 30 feet. The pool is surrounded on all four sides by a path that is 3 feet wide.
V125BC [204]

Check the picture below.

since the rectangular pool is a 14x30, the top and bottom part of that rectangle in the picture are just a 3x30 piece and the sides are 3x8, so how many ft² is that?

\bf 2(3\cdot 30)+2(3\cdot 8)\implies 180+48\implies 228~ft^2~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{total cost}}{228\cdot 20\implies \boxed{456}}
