You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

isosceles triangle is formed. How long would the cloth have to be so that the opening of the tent was 8 feet wide and 3 feet high?

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft

Please help I’m really confused and need to learn this
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #2, another way to word this question is: For which of the following trig functions is π/2 a solution? Well, go through them one by one. If you plug π/2 into sinθ, you get 1. This means that when x is π/2, y is 1. Try and visualize that. When y is 1, that means you moved off the x-axis; so y = sinθ is NOT one of those functions that cross the x-axis at θ = π/2. Go through the rest of them. For y = cos(π/2), you get 0. At θ = π/2, this function crosses the x-axis. For y = tanθ, your result is undefined, so that doesn't work. Keep going through them. You should see that y = secθ is undefined, y = cscθ returns 1, and y = cotθ returns 0. If you have a calculator that can handle trig functions, just plug π/2 into every one of them and check off the ones that give you zero. Graphically, if the y-value is 0, the function is touching/crossing the x-axis.

Think about what y = secθ really means. It's actually y = 1/(cosθ), right? So what makes a fraction undefined? A fraction is undefined when the denominator is 0 because in mathematics, you can't divide by zero. Calculators give you an error. So the real question here is, when is cosθ = 0? Again, you can use a calculator here, but a unit circle would be more helpful. cosθ = π/2, like we just saw in the previous problem, and it's zero again 180 degrees later at 3π/2. Now read the answer choices.

All multiples of pi? Well, our answer looked like π/2, so you can skip the first two choices and move to the last two. All multiples of π/2? Imagine there's a constant next to π, say Cπ/2 where C is any number. If we put an even number there, 2 will cut that number in half. Imagine C = 4. Then Cπ/2 = 2π. Our two answers were π/2 and 3π/2, so an even multiple won't work for us; we need the odd multiples only. In our answers, π/2 and 3π/2, C = 1 and C = 3. Those are both odd numbers, and that's how you know you only need the "odd multiples of π/2" for question 3.
