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

Mathematics
1 answer:

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!

Katyanochek1 [597]
Problem 7: Correct
Problem 8: Correct
Problem 9: Correct

The steps are below if you are curious

===========================================================================================

Problem 7

S = 180*(n-2)
2340 = 180*(n-2)
2340/180 = n-2
13 = n-2
n-2 = 13
n = 13+2
n = 15

I'm using n in place of lowercase s, but the idea is the same. If anything, it is better to use n for the number of sides since S already stands for the sum of the interior angles. I'm not sure why your teacher decided to swap things like that.

===========================================================================================

Problem 8

First find y
y+116 = 180
y+116-116 = 180-116
y = 64

which is then used to find x. The quadrilateral angles add up to 180*(n-2) = 180*(4-2) = 360 degrees
Add up the 4 angles, set the sum equal to 360, solve for x

x+y+125+72 = 360
x+64+125+72 = 360 ... substitution (plug in y = 64)
x+261 = 360
x+261-261 = 360-261
x = 99

===========================================================================================

Problem 9

With any polygon, the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees

The first two exterior angles add to 264. The missing exterior angle is x
x+264 = 360
x+264-264 = 360-264
x = 96

The angles below are supplementary. What is the value of x?
USPshnik [31]
Since the angles are supplementary, we know that they must add up to equal 180 degrees by the definition of supplementary angles

set the sum of the 2 angles to equal 180 and solve for x

6x + 48 + 60 = 180
6x + 108 = 180
6x = 72
x = 12

you could check to make sure that your x value is correct by plugging it back into the equation

6(12) + 48 + 60 = 180
72 + 48 + 60 = 180
120 + 60 = 180
180= 180

hope this helped!
