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)

PLEASE HELP/ANSWER! From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%. If his weight was k kilograms in 1990, what was it in 198
Elena-2011 [213]

The weight in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5} kilograms

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%

His weight is "k" kilograms in 1990

<em><u>To find: weight in 1980</u></em>

This is a percentage increase problem

Let "x" be the weight in kilograms in 1980

<em><u>The percentage increase is given by formula:</u></em>

\text{Percentage increase } = \frac{\text{Final value - initial value}}{\text{initial value}} \times 100

Here,

Initial value in 1980 = x

Final value in 1990 = k

Percentage increase = 25 %

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula,</u></em>

25 = \frac{k-x}{x} \times 100\\\\25x = 100(k-x)\\\\x = 4(k-x)\\\\x = 4k - 4x\\\\5x = 4k\\\\x = \frac{4k}{5}

Thus the weight in kilograms in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5}

I buy a MP3 player for £40 in a sale where it was 20% off. What was the original price
natta225 [31]
20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50
