All of these questions require one thing: trigonometric functions.

There are 3 main trigonometric functions, which can only be used on right triangles: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine = opposite / hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

When trying to figure out what function to use, we always start by looking from the angle. Take problem a, for example. Looking from angle E, of which the value is not given, we have the side opposite and the side adjacent. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

---The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle. It is never considered the opposite or adjacent side.

Let's set up our function with the given information from problem a.

tan(x) = 9.7 / 5.2

---The tangent of an unknown angle is equal to the quotient of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Now, solving for the value of x will require a calculator. We'll need to use what's called an inverse trigonometric function. Most calculators have these directly above the regular trigonometric functions, and the inverse functions are accessed using a "second" key.

---Ensure that your calculator is in degrees, not radians!

x = tan^-1(9.7 / 5.2)

x = 61.805 = 62 degrees

Next, let's take a look at problem b. This time, we're solving for a side length instead of an angle. But, we're still going to start by looking from our angle.


Looking from the 38 degree angle, we are given the adjacent side and an unknown hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use the cosine function.

cosine(38) = 53.1 / r

---The cosine of a 38 degree angle is equal to the quotient of 53.1 and an unknown hypotenuse, r.

Use your algebra skills to isolate the variable r.

r * cosine(38) = 53.1

r = 53.1 / cosine(38)

---From here, all you need to do is plug this into your calculator. Since we are solving for a side length (and given an angle), we are just using the regular trigonometric function buttons on the calculator.

r = 67.385 = 67.4 units

8 times of the eight term of an arithmetic progression is equal to 12 times of the twelfth term. find its first term if the comm
denpristay [2]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the 8th term as x and the 12th term as y.

This would mean that 8x=12y

Because the common difference between terms is -2 and term 8 and term 12 are 4 terms apart, this means that the 12th term is 8 less than the 8th term, so x-8=y

Now we can use this to substitute y with x in the first equation. This would give us:

8x=12(x-8)

Which we can expand and solve:

8x=12x-96

-4x=-96

Therefore x=24

This means the 8th term is 24 and the 12th term is 16 (24-8).

To test if this is correct we can do:

8x24=12x16

Which indeed are equal, both sides multiply to 192.

Now that we have our 8th term, we can find the 1st term, which is 7 terms away, therefore we just add 14 to the 8th term 24. (7x2=14)

24+14=38.

The first term is 38.

Hope this helped!
