Question

Transcribed Image Text:In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles.
C
a
A
B
C
According to the law of sines," you always have:
b_sinB
a
sinA
Suppose that a and b are pieces of metal which are hinged at C. At first the angle A is */4 radians=45° and the angle B is x/3 radians = 60°. You then widen A to 46°, without changing the sides a and b. Our goal in this problem is to use the tangent line approximation to estimate the angle B.
(a) Notice that the angle B is a function of the angle A; i.e. B=f(A). Consequently, it makes sense to calculate the implicit derivative:
dA
cos(A)
cos(B)
(b) Calculate when A=x/4 and B=л/3; leave your answer in EXACT FORM: √√3
dB
dA
(c) Write the linear approximation of fat A= x/4:
(A - π/4) +

Transcribed Image Text:A right circular cone of height h and base radius r has total surface area S consisting of its base area plus its side area, leading to the formula:
S=πr² + √√²+h2
Suppose you start out with a cone of height 8 cm and base radius 6 cm, and you want to change the dimensions in such a way that the total surface area remains the same. Suppose you increase the height by 5/100. In this problem, use tangent line approximation to estimate the new value of r so that the new cone has the same
total surface area.
The estimated value of r =
