Every weekend me and my brother and my cousin go outside to play basketball and when i was the one who will shoot the ball to th

e ring i used the things i learned in math so I use SOH-CAH-TOA in measuring it. I want to measure the distance between me and the basketball ring. Supposed the height of the ring is 8ft from the ground and the distance between me and the basketball ring horizontally is 11.5 ft, and the angle of elevation from the ground is 50 degrees, now what is the distance of me and the ring?
Let x be the distance between me and the ring

need urgent answers with equation

Answer:

10.433cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOH from TOACAHSOH,

sin50deg =  \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

From here we know there the opposite is 8ft (height of the ring) and hypotenuse is what we want to find, distance between you and the ring.

sin(50) =  \frac{8}{x}  \\ x \sin(50) = 8 \\ x =  \frac{8}{ \sin(50) }   \\ x = 10.443cm(rounded \: to \: 5sf)

Answer:

10 . 44 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 50 = opposite leg / hypotenuse = 8 / x

8 / sin 50 = x    = 10 .44  ft

The measure of and angle θ is 7pi/4. What is the measure of the reference angle and tan θ is?
Lynna [10]
Check the picture below.

recall that a reference angle, is the angle made with the x-axis, regardless of the Quadrant the terminal point is at.

what's its tangent?  well, you can check your Unit Circle, if you don't have one, you'd want to get one about now, you can search online for one, quite a few to get there, anyhow, at that point, the "x" and the "y" are the same value, and thus the tangent is 1.

If you make $450 a month but 15% is held out of each paycheck for Social Security and taxes how much do bring home?
aksik [14]

To solve this question make an equation

450 x 0.15 = X

0.15 = the percentage taken out of the paycheck

67.5 = Social Security Taxes

450 - 67.5

= $382.5

Or the easier way if you want it straight away

450 x 0.85 = $382.5

0.85 = percentage taken home

A rancher is selling off 7% of her ranch each year. If she owns 2000 square miles, in about how many years will she own only 600
Gre4nikov [31]
2000*(.07) = 140 
140*10 = 1400 
1400 - 2000 = 600

Your answer would be 10 years I believe.

Math help, I'm stuck with my homework and I want to get it done.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

m = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 4x + 7 is in this form with slope m = - 4

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-4} = \frac{1}{4}

Hence the value of m = \frac{1}{4}
