If sin θ = 2 over 7 and tan θ > 0, what is the value of cos θ?

1 answer:

6 0

Sin θ = 2 / 7
tan θ > 0
cos θ = ?

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

short leg = opposite = 2
hypotenuse = 7
long leg = adjacent = ?

adjacent = √(7² - 2²)
adjacent = √(49 - 4)
adjacent = √45
adjacent = √9 * 5
adjacent = 3 √5

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos θ = 3√5 / 7

Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest tenth of a square unit

qaws [65]

First you find the area of the circle, the formula is A=3.14(radius squared) so in this scenario it’s 3.14(4•4) 4 squared is 16, so now we have 3.14(16) which is 622.976, we round that to get our answer of 623

Point S is on line segment RT given ST=3x-8, RT = 4x, and RS = 4x - 7, determine the numerical length of RT

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment ST is half and RS is the other half. RT is the whole line so adding ST and RS will get you RT. 4x-7+3x-8=4x. solve for x which will get you 5. Replace the x with 5 in 4x (for segment RT) will get you an answer of 20 for the whole line.
