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!

Solve AABC. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth, if necessary

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$C=25^{\circ},\\a\approx 10.72,\\b\approx 11.83$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, angle C must be $180-90-65=25^{\circ}$ .

In any triangle, the Law of Sines is given by $\frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}$ .

Therefore, we have:

$\frac{\sin 90^{\circ}}{b}=\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}}{5},\\\\b=\frac{5\sin90^{\circ}}{\sin 25^{\circ}}=11.8310079158\approx \boxed{11.83}$

$\frac{a}{\sin 65^{\circ}}=\frac{5}{\sin25^{\circ}},\\a=\frac{5\sin 65^{\circ}}{\sin25^{\circ}}=10.7225346025\approx \boxed{10.72}$

How does f(x) = 3 ^x change over the interval x = 4 to x= 5

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

f(x) = 3^x increases steadily on the interval [4,5].

Step-by-step explanation:

This exponential function f(x) = 3^x has a positive base (3) which is larger than 1. Thus, this function continues to increase as x increases, including the case where x increases from 4 to 5.

A rectangular field is 300 meters long and 250 meters wide. What is the area of the field in square kilometers

lidiya [134]

Answer:

0.075 sq km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a rectangular field with dimensions of length =300 m and width = 250 m.

We have to calculate area of this rectangle in the units of square kilometres.

Let us convert length and width into km

1000m = 1 km

Hence length = 300/1000= 0.3 km and

width = 250/1000 = 0.25 km.

ARea = length x width = 0.3 x 0.25

=0.075 square km.
