I have five questions about geometry. Can someone sit down for about 30 minute and help me with each one?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Here is the first one. NOTE: This is an FLVS Practice Exam. These exams are meant to be studied, retaken and looked over to gain an understanding for my upcoming final.

none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rotating something will result and circular base. A square pyramid doesn't have a circular base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will result *in* circular base

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Wouldn't a cone look like this. |dw:1398378524878:dw| When rotated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a cone isn't a square pyramid

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Okay.. .Next one.

I'm thinking we should write the expression for sine and cosine for that angle in terms of the sides. sin = opposite / hypotenuse, cos = adjacent / hypotenuse. Then solve for z in each case (which is always hypotenuse).

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

As an example, for sine: sin 50 = opposite/hypotenuse = x / z The x is at the far leg from the angle 50 degrees. We could solve this like a proportion for z \( \dfrac{\sin 50^o}{1} = \dfrac{x}{z} \)

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse Six(x) = x/z Sin(x) * z = x

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Wait, I found x on accident oops!

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Wait, is x or y the hypotenuse? This triangle is a bit confusing.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

The hypotenuse is always on the opposite side of the right angle, so z is the hypotenuse. |dw:1398379545840:dw|
