Answer:

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometry ratio:

         \sf Cos \ \theta = \dfrac{Adjacent \ side}{hypotenuse}=\dfrac{-3}{10}

We need to find the opposite side using Pythagorean theorem.

 opposite side² = hypotenuse² - adjacent side²

                           = 10² - (-3)²

                            = 100 - 9

                           = 91

opposite side    = √91

                 \sf tan \ \theta = \dfrac{opposite \ side}{adjacent \ side}

                           \sf = \dfrac{\sqrt{91}}{3}

In quadrant II, value of tan \theta is negative.

              \sf tan \ \theta = -\dfrac{\sqrt{91}}{3}

Answer:

True, based on the <em>Transitive Property of Equality</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the <em>Transitive Property of Equality </em>states that "If a = b, & b = c, then a = c.

In this case it is the same.

∠1 ≅ ∠2 (because both are complementary), ∠1 ≅ ∠3 (again, both are complementary), then based on the Transitive Property, ∠2 ≅ ∠3, making all of them complementary angles

Determine the measure of x, to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

About 73 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

By the law of cosines:

26^2=11^2+27^2-2(11)(27)\cos(x) \\\\\\676=121+729-594\cos(x) \\\\\\-174=-594\cos(x) \\\\\\\cos(x)= 0.\overline{29} \\\\\\x\approx 73.0^{\circ}

Hope this helps!

If 2a+4b=5 and a is equal to three times b, what is 3a?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3a=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b

We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5

2(3b)+4b=5

multiply

6b+4b=5

add

10b=5

divide by 10

b=1/2

since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3

a=3/2

3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5

Hope this helps!
