- This sheet metal section shown in Figure 5-5 has five sets of drilled holes: A, B, C, D, and E. The holes within a set are equally spaced in the horizontal direction. Compute the horizontal distance between two consecutive holes for each set. All dimensions are in inches. A=_B=_C=_D=_E=_arrow_forwardUse Figure 5.19 to prove Theorem 5.4.2. Theorem 5.4.2 The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.arrow_forwardA circle is inscribed in an isosceles triangle with legs of length 10 in. and a base of length 12 in. Find the length of the radius of the inscribed circle.arrow_forward
- Refer to the shaft shown in Figure 6-4. Determine the missing dimensions in the table using the dimensions given. All dimensions are in inches.arrow_forwardThe center of a circle of radius 2 in. is at a distance of 10 in. from the center of a circle of radius length 3 in. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the approximate length of a common internal tangent? Use the hint provided in Exercise 38. HINT: use similar triangles to find OD and DP. Then apply the Pythagorean Theorem twice.arrow_forwardFor the 30-60-90 triangle shown, suppose that XZ=a. Find: a YZ b XYarrow_forward
