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!

What is the slope of the following linear equation y + 2x = 5 ?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5                         <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5                       <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.

Seventy-five balls numbered from 1 to 75 are placed in an urn. One ball is randomly drawn from the urn. What is the probability
kramer
75-31= 44
44/75= 0.58666 or 58.7%

Subtract 31 from 75 since we're figuring out greater than or "equal to" we want to include the number 32 in our equation. If it was only "greater than" 32 then we'd subtract 32 from 75. Then you divide that number(44) by 75, which is all the possible outcomes you could have in this scenario. Move the decimal two places to the right to make it a percentage and you've got your answer.

How many cm more than 2 m is the perimeter of a regular hexagon of side 35 cm?
bearhunter [10]
A Hexagon Is A 6 Sided Figure. So First, We Need To Know How Many Centimeters Are In A Meter. There Are 100 Centimeters In A Meter. Next, Do 2 Meters * 100 centimeters To Get 2 Meters Is Equal To 200 Centimeters. Next, We Do 35*6. We Get 210. Now, Do The Subtraction. 210-200 = 10cm. The Regular Hexagon's Perimeter Is 10cm Larger. I Hope I Helped! :D
