If the x and y components of a vector are respectively 6 and 8. What is the length and angle of inclination?
The length, or magnetude, of the vector is the square root of (6^2 + 8^2), or 10. The angle of inclination is tan-1 of (8/6), or 53.13 degrees.
How do you find a slope of a line?
That depends upon what you are given - the equation of the line, the coordinates of 2 points on the line, etc.
What is the formula of a cube?
Base times Width times height. Take the measurement of the base, multiply it by the measurement of the width and multiply it all again by the measurement of the height. B*W*H=Cube another way of saying it: volume: multiply the length times the length times the length. Surface area: length times width times six.
If A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60 angle with the ground the base of the ladder is 3 m from the building how high above the ground is the top of the ladder?
This answer uses trigonometry to avoid a lot of work:tangent = opposite/adjacent and tangent*adjacent (base of ladder from the building) = opposite (height of ladder above ground)So: tangent 60 degrees*3 = 5.196152423Therefore: Top of the ladder above ground = 5.2 meters correct to one decimal place.More laborious methodThe right triangle formed by the wall, ground and ladder has sides in the ratio of 1::2::sq-rt-of-3. The shortest side is the one opposite the 30 degree angle, i.e., the given distance from wall to base of the ladder--3 m.The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, and is twice as long, hence 6 m.And the height of the ladder's top from the ground is proportional to the third side whose length is sq-rt-3 times that of the shortest side. Sq-rt-3 is about 1.732, so height of the ladder's top at the wall is about 5.20 m, or 520 cm.
Volume for a triangular prism?
1/2 x length x width x height
Which way is length?
Length is the horizontal measurement and the vertical one is height. If there are 2 horizontal ones then length is the longer one, and the other one is breadth, or width.
Does length mean up and down like horizontil?
"Up and down" is vertical. Side to side (or across) is horizontal. An easy way to remember this is "horizontal" runs like the horizon. The vertical measurment is usually referred to as the height. The length would be the horizontal measurement.
What will be the shadow length at 4 pm?
The answer depends on: the height of the item casting the shadow, the location on earth, the time of year, and the inclination of the surface on which the shadow is cast.
What is the kiln formula of kiln inclination?
As a thumb rule the kiln inclination is 3.5% of its length.
What is horizontal length?
How far or long something is from one end to the other. Vertical length is height.from the ground to the top of a structure or other thing.
What part of a data bar represents the value of a sale?
Vertical bar chart: height Horizontal bar chart: length
What is a horizontal photography?
Horizontal photography is creating images that are longer in length rather than in height. EX: http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/horizontal-1.jpg http://digital-photography-school.com/using-horizontal-lines-in-photography
How does the length of a shadow change during the yearwhy does this happen?
The length of the shadow (on a flat, horizontal floor) depends on the height of the Sun. If the Sun is higher in the sky, the shadow will become shorter.
What does a slope 1 in 8 mean construction ramps?
1 in 8 ramp means: for every 8 units horizontal, there will be a rise of 1 unit. Example: 8 feet of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 1 foot. or 1 meter of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 125 mm. In both examples height/horizontal length = 1/8 or 125/1000 = 1 in 8.
What is Nevada's horizontal width and vertical length?
Nevada's horizontal width and vertical length is ...
What is the platypus's height and length?
Platypuses are not measured for height, as they stay close to the ground. At most, they would be less than 20cm in height at the shoulder.Platypuses are more likely to be measured in length. A male platypus is 50-60 cm in length, whilst the female is smaller, averaging 40-50 cm in length.
What is the height of the hilly slope with an angle of inclination of 30 degrees and a base run length of 275 meters?
Calculator in degree mode. tanX = opposite/adjacent so... tan30 degrees = height/275 meters = 159 meters tall
