Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
30/360 to lowest fraction equivalent
Now, we can write 30 as 3×10
Also, we can write 360 as 36×10
Then, we have
(3×10)/(36×10)
Then, 10 cancel 10, we are left with
3/36
Also we can write 36 as 12×3
Then, we have
3/(12×3)
Also, 3 cancel 3, we are left with
1/12
Then the lowest fraction is 1 / 12
1/12
Answer:
y-intercept: (0, -3)
x-intercept: (5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trick question! The problem gives you the x and y intercepts. x intercept is when y is 0, and y intercept is when x = 0!
Answer:
343.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire is anchored 190 -13 = 177 ft from the ground. That distance is opposite the given angle (31°). The measure you want is the hypotenuse of the triangle with that side and angle measures.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between the opposite side, hypotenuse, and angle is ...
Sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Filling in the given information, you have ...
sin(31°) = (177 ft)/hypotenuse
Solving for hypotenuse gives
hypotenuse = (177 ft)/sin(31°) ≈ 343.7 ft
The length of the guy wire should be 343.7 ft.
So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.
