The decimal approximation for the trigonometric function sin 28°48' is

Given the trigonometric function is sin 28°48'

The ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is called cos(θ), whereas the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse is called sin(θ). The sin(θ) and cos(θ) values for a given triangle are constant regardless of the triangle's size.

To solve this, we are going to convert 28°48' into degrees first, using the conversion factor 1' = 1/60°

sin (28°48') = sin(28° ₊ (48 × 1/60)°)

= sin(28° ₊ (48 /60)°)

= sin(28° ₊ 4°/5)

= sin(28° ₊ 0.8°)

= sin(28.8°)

= 0.481753

Therefore sin (28°48') is 0.481753.

Louisa ran at an average speed of five miles per hour along an entire circular park path. Calvin ran along the same path in the

docker41 [41]

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the miles in the circular park path, $t_{L}$ the time Louisa takes to finish and $t_{C}$ the time Calvin takes to finish both in hours.

Then $x$ , the longitude is equal to the velocity times the time used to finish. So

$x=5t_{L}$

$x=6t_{C}$

And the difference between Louisa's time and Calvin' time is 30 minutes, half an hour. So:

$t_{C}=t_{L}-0.5$

Three equations, three unknowns, the system can be solved.

Equalizing the equation with x :

$5t_{L}=6t_{C}$

In this last equation replace $t_{C}$ with the other equation and solve:

$5t_{L}=6(t_{L}-0.5)\\ 5t_{L}=6t_{L}-3\\ 3=6t_{L}-5t_{L}\\ 3=t_{L}\\ t_{L}=3$

With Louisa's time find x:

$x=5t_{L}\\ x=5(3)\\ x=15$
