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)

A gardening store ordered 1,290 potted plants last year. This year, the store ordered 70% more than that number. How many potted
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

2,193 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

70% = 70/100 = 0.70

(0.70)(1290) = 903

903 + 1290 = 2193

HELP PLEASE!! Please don't give me sites or links, those won't work since the site is blocked!
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

x <= 1/4 (less than or equal to)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, all you need to do is isolate the variable. To do this, you just move everything that isn't x to the right side. To get rid of the 4, divide both sides by 4. Your result will be x <= 1/4.

Note: Since we're dividing both sides by a positive number, we don't have to change the direction of the inequality. If you were to divide both sides by -1 you would have to reverse the inequality. Example:

x > 1 or 5 > 1

-x < -1 or -5 < -1
