Answer:

  a) 21.4 cm

  b) 45.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationships between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. Here, two relevant function are ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>b) Angle P</h3>

The hypotenuse of the triangle, and the side adjacent to angle P are given, so we have ...

  cos(P) = (21 cm)/(30 cm)

The angle value can be found using the inverse cosine function:

  P = arccos(21/30)

  P ≈ 45.6°

<h3>a) Side p</h3>

Now, we know angle P and the side adjacent to it. We want to find the measure of side p, which is opposite the angle. This can be done using either the sine function or the tangent function. Here, we choose to use the tangent function.

  tan(P) = p/21

  p = 21×tan(P) = 21·tan(45.573°)

  p ≈ 21.4 . . . . cm

<em>Additional comment</em>

In the attached, part of the calculator keypad is shown so you can see that the inverse cosine function is the 2ND function of the Cos key. The calculator mode is set to DEG (lower left of display) so that angles are in units appropriate to this problem.

Of course, you can always use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of side p. More calculations are involved, so we used trig functions instead. Note that the angle P must be found first using the approach here, and its value must be retained with enough significant digits to ensure accuracy in the 'p' calculation.

Answer:

<u>p = 21.4 cm</u>

<u>∠P = 44°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of p.

  • p² + 21² = 30²
  • p² = 900 - 441
  • p² = 459
  • p = √459
  • \fbox {p = 21.4 cm}

Now, take the inverse sine function to find angle P :

  • sin⁻¹ (opposite side / hypotenuse)
  • sin⁻¹ (21/30)
  • sin⁻¹ (0.7)
  • \boxed {44^{o}} (approximately)

25 students are learning how to make balloon animals. There are 194 balloons to be shared equally among the students. How many b
alexdok [17]
25 students
194 balloons

194/25 = 7.76
Each student gets 7 balloons, 7 x 25 = 175 balloons will be used
194 - 175 = 19 balloons remaining (Answer to part 1 of this question)

If each student needs 8 balloons
8 * 25 = 200
200 - 194 = 6 ballons needed (Answer to part 2 of this question)

We also could have found the answer to part 2 by saying that we had 19 balloons left over when the students each were given 7 balloons
Each student needs another 1 balloon = 25 balloons, 
We have 19 left over
25 - 19 = 6 balloons need to be purchased (we got the same answer both ways so it is very likely we have the correct answer)

Explanation and answer please :)
puteri [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the I = PRN formula

P = 11 500

R = 7.25% but you have to 7.25 divide by 100 so it becomes a decimal so it should be 0.0725

N = 2 years and 6 months. This can be 2.5 years because half of 12 is 6

the solution is 11 500 × 0.0725 × 2.5 = 2084.38

Please help me with this.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

75\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In every right triangle, a leg is given by the multiplication of the sine of its opposite angle and the hypothenuse.

In this case, the opposite angle of x is 15°, and the hypothenuse is 300. So, we have

x = 300\sin(15) = 75\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)
