Angelica says the tangent is the ratio of the length of the leg opposite angle A ∠ A over the length of the leg adjacent to angl

e A This means B C must have a length of 3 3 units A C must have a length of: 4 4 units. They can find the length of Latex A B using the Pythagorean Theorem and then use it to find the sine and cosine ratios. Graciella says that they cannot find the length of any side of the triangle and, therefore, cannot find the ratios for sine and cosine. Both students have errors in their reasoning. Identify the mistake Angelica made in her reasoning. Provide an example that shows why she is incorrect. Identify the mistake that Graciella made in her reasoning. Explain why she is incorrect. Find the ratios for the sine and cosine of angle A Explain your process.

Based on the trigonometry ratios and the Pythagorean theorem both of them were incorrect.

Cos A = 4/5; Sin A = 3/5

<h3>What is the Trigonometry Ratios?</h3>

The Trigonometry ratios relates the length of the sides of a right triangles. They are given as:

  • Sine ratio, sin ∅ = opp/hyp
  • Cosine ratio, cos ∅ = adj/hyp
  • Tangent ratio, tan ∅ = opp/adj.

<h3>What is the Pythagroean Theorem?</h3>

If two sides of a right triangle are known the third side can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, which is given as, c² = a² + b², where and b are legs, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

1. Given that tan A = 3/4, it is not necessarily true that BC MUST have a length of 3 units, and AC MUST have a length of 4 units, because:

If BC = 9 units and AC = 12 units, the it will give us the same tangent ratio as:

tan A = 9/12 = 3/4.

Therefore, Angelica's mistake is stating that BC MUST be 3 units, and AC MUST be 4 units.

2. Knowing two length of the sides of a right triangle is enough information needed to find the length of the third side using the Pythagorean theorem, so Graceilla is incorrect.

3. Find AC using the Pythagorean theorem:

AB = √(3² + 4²)

AB = 5 units.

Cos A = adj/hyp = AC/AB

Cos A = 4/5

Sin A = opp/hyp = BC/AB

Sin A = 3/5

Question 8 -
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Her wage on the 8th day is $105 ⇒ answer d

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The average of set of data = The sum of data/the number of data

- The sum of data = the average of set of data × the number of data

∵ Cindy worked for 15 consecutive days

∵ She is earning an average wage of $91 per day

∴ Her total earning = 91 × 15 = $1365

∵ Her average earning during the first 7 days is $87 per day

∴ Her total earning in the first 7 days = 87 × 7 = $609

∵ Her average earning during the last 7 days is $93 per day

∴ Her total earning in the last 7 days = 93 × 7 = $651

- Her total earning in the 14 days is the sum of the earning in the

 first 7 days and the earning during the last 7 days

∵ Her total earning in the 14 days = 609 + 651 = $1260

∵ Her total earning in the 15 days is $1365

- To find her wage on the 8th day subtract her wage of the 14 days

  from her wage of the 15 days

∴ Her wage on the 8th day = 1365 - 1260 = $105

* Her wage on the 8th day is $105

Suppose that 2 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 4 for all values of x. What are the minimum and maximum possible values of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Mean Value Theorem, there is at least one number, c, in the interval (1,6) such that

f'(c) = [f(6) - f(1)]/ (6 - 1)

So, f(6) - f(1) = 5f'(c).

Since 2 ≤ f'(c) ≤ 4, 10 ≤ 5f'(c) ≤ 20

So, f(6) - f(1) is between 10 and 20.

The interior angles of a triangle have measures 75 degrees,(-5w+125) degrees, and (4w+85) degrees. what is the value of W?
andrew-mc [135]
The sum of the measures of the angles is 180 degrees.
75 + -5w + 125 + 4w + 85 = 180
Combine like terms.
285 - w = 180
Subtract 285 from both sides.
-w = -105
Divide both sides by -1.
w = 105
