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}\\\\

He volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058 cubic cm. The length of the prism is 3 times the width. The height is twice the width.
MrMuchimi

Answer: the height of the prism is 14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = length × height × width

Volume = LWH

The length of the prism is 3 times the width. It means that

L = 3W

The height is twice the width. This means that

H = 2W

Therefore,

Volume = 3W × × W × 2W = 6W³

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058 cubic cm. This means that

2058 = 6W³

Dividing through by 6, it becomes

343 = W³

W = 7

Therefore, the height of the prism would be

H = 2W = 2 × 7

H = 14 cm

1. Vinay applied the distributive property to the equation -5(m - 2) - 25. His equation then became --5m + 10 = -125. Did he app
Ahat [919]

Answer:

  • C. No. Vinay also multiplied the right-hand side of the equation by --5, which is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proper application of the property:</u>

  • - 5(m - 2) - 25 = -5m - 5(-2) - 25 = -5m + 10 - 25 = -5m - 15

Vinay multiplied 5 and 25 as well, which is incorrect.

Correct answer choice is C.
