PLEASE HELP URGENT Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!

Anna wanted to buy a camera. The first discount store sold her favorite camera for $95. The second store sold the same camera fo
lions [1.4K]

The second store offered the better buy at the price of $92.00.

What is better buy?

Better buy refers to the lowest price out of the prices offered by the three stores.

In order to determine the lowest price, the no discount price of the first store needs to be compared to the prices of  two other stores, bearing that after-discount price is the pre-discount price multiplied by 1 minus the discount rate.

First store price=$95.00

Second store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$115

discount rate=20%

Second store after-discount price=$115*(1-20%)

Second store after-discount price=$92.00

Third store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$105

discount rate=10%

Third store after-discount price=$105*(1-10%)

Third store after-discount price=$94.50

if an external point of a circle is at a distance equal to the diameter of the circle from the center of the circle, the length
jeka57 [31]

Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem

t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).

So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.

Can you answer the questions below
DerKrebs [107]
I think the easiest way to answer all of these is to just go ahead and find the equation of the line first. 

I'm pretty sure that by the time you reach this problem, you've learned to find
the equation of a line that passes through two given points.  You have two points:  (2, 100) and (5, 205).  The equation of the line through them is [ y = 35x + 30 ].

6).  The initial membership fee ... the cost for walking in the door and signing up,
before any months, is $30.  (Also the y-intercept.)

7).  The cost per month is $35.  (The slope of the line.)

8).  We already did that, up above.  [  y = 35x + 30 ].

9).  'x' in the equation is the number of months.
There are 12 months in one year.

y = 35(12) + 30 = $450
