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!

For the function y=400-22x, what is the rate of change
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=400-22x is a linear equation in the form y=mx + b. Although they put "mx" after "b" so the equation doesn't start with a negative.

"m" is rate of change, or the slope if graphed.

The negative means "y" decreases as "x" increases. On a graph, it decreases left to right.

PLEASE HELP IMAGE ATTACHED!!! the area of this parallelogram is 120mm^2. Find the value of X
Marta_Voda [28]
The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height so:

A=bh, in this case:

A=hx

x=A/h, we are told that A=120mm^2 and h=10mm so

x=120mm^2/10mm

x=12mm

(13p5 + 6p - 12p2) - (-9p - p2 - 13p5)
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

13p⁵ + 6p - 12p² -(-9p - p² - 13p⁵) = 13p⁵ + 6p - 12p² + 9p + p² + 13p⁵

{Distribute  (-1) to the second expression}

= <u>13p⁵ + 13p⁵</u>    <u>-12p² + p²</u>     <u>+ 6p + 9p</u>

{Combine like terms}

= 26p⁵ - 11p² + 15p
