A cylindrical tank with a 12 foot (365.75cm) O.D. is to have a nozzle installed at 45 degrees around the circumference. From the 0º reference point what would be the linear measurement to locate the nozzle. answer to the nearest 1/16th.
please help i don't know where to start from.
Try starting with the geometrical information they've given you in the exercise, along with the formulas, etc, that they've taught you in class.
What is the "circumference" of a circle?
How does the circumference relate to the diameter?
Given the 12-foot diameter, what must be the circumference?
How many degrees are in a circle?
What fraction of these degrees is 45 degrees?
Then what fraction of the circumference does this represent?
Then what amount (in feet) of the circumference does this represent?
Then what is the linear distance?
If you get stuck, please reply showing your work and answers to the step-by-step instructions above. Thank you!
