Answer:    -\frac{240}{289}

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

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean trig identity \sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta) = 1 and plug in the fact that \cos(\theta) = \frac{8}{17}\\\\

Isolating sine leads to \sin(\theta) = -\frac{15}{17}\\\\. I'm skipping the steps here, but let me know if you need to see them.

The result is negative because we're in quadrant 4, when y < 0 so it's when sine is negative.

Therefore,

\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)\\\\\sin(2\theta) = 2*\left(-\frac{15}{17}\right)*\left(\frac{8}{17}\right)\\\\\sin(2\theta) = -\frac{240}{289}\\\\

Tonya is making a scale model of a monument that is 160 feet tall. If she uses a scale of 4 in. = 5 ft., how tall should she mak
olasank [31]

Answer:

<u>It should be 128 inches or 10.67 feet tall</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Real size of the monument = 160 feet tall

Scale used by Tonya = 4 inches equal to 5 feet

Scale model of the monument = Real size of the monument / Scale used

Proportion between real monument and scale model = 160 / 5 = 32

It means that the proportion between the real monument and the scale model is 32

Scale model height = Proportion * scale used

Scale model height = 32 * 4

<u>Scale model height = 128 inches</u>

<u>Scale model height = 128/12 = 10.67 feet (12 inches = 1 feet)</u>

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation –5x 2y= 10 ?
Sladkaya [172]
In the equation y=mx+b, the variable m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, the equation -5x+2y=10 can be rearranged into 2y=5x+10. Isolate the y to get y=2.5x+5. The slope of the line is 2.5

John's father weighs 20 pounds more than twice
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

20+2y

Step-by-step explanation:

20 pounds more would be an addition of 20 and twice would have to be represented by 2y because it is double John's weight y.
