Rewrite 17/20 and 21/25, so that they have a common denominator then use <,>or = to order 17/20 and 21/25

The least common denominator is
20 = 2 * 2 * 5
25 = 5 * 5

The least common denominator has two 5s and two 2s.
LCD = 2*2*5*5 = 100

17/20 = 17 * 5/ 20*5 = 85 / 100
21/25 =  21* 4/25*4 = 84 / 100

Talk about close
17/20 > 21/25 <<<< answer

But I hate to have predicted that before hand.

Use the identity tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta) to show that tan(???? + ????) = tan(????)+tan(????) / 1−tan(????) tan(????
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to proof the following indentity:

tan(x+y) = \frac{tan (x) + tan(y)}{1- tan(x) tan(y)}

So we need to begin with the definition of tangent, we know that tan (x) =\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)} and we can do this:

tan (x+y) = \frac{sin (x+y)}{cos(x+y)}   (1)

We also have the following identities:

sin (a+b) = sin (a) cos(b) + sin (b) cos(a)

cos(a+b)= cos(a) cos(b) - sin(a) sin(b)

Now we can apply those identities into equation (1) like this:

tan (x+y) =\frac{sin (x) cos(y) + sin (y) cos(x)}{cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)}   (2)

We can divide numerator and denominator from expression (2) by \frac{1}{cos(x) cos(y)} we got this:

tan (x+y) = \frac{\frac{sin (x) cos(y)}{cos (x) cos(y)} + \frac{sin(y) cos(x)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}{\frac{cos(x) cos(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)} -\frac{sin(x)sin(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}

And simplifying we got:

tan (x+y) = \frac{tan(x) + tan(y)}{1-tan(x) tan(y)}

And that complete the proof.

How do I subtract fractions? Please explain step by step to get marked!
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Explained below :)

(I tried my best, sorry if it doesn't make sense.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 1/4 - 1/8= ?

1: Find the common denominator (bottom number)

2: If the common denominator is 8 then you multiply 1/4 by 2/2 to get the denominator of 8. If you needed then you can multiply the other fraction to get the same denominator.

3: Once you get multiply that then you get 2/8 -1/8.

4: Subtract the numerator (top number) 1

5: Keep the numerator (8)

6: Your answer would be 1/8

Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the volume, surface area, or neither.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Volume = 12 *6 *8 , Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6  + 8 *12 + 6* 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cuboid with length 12 , width 6 and height 8 units.

To find : Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the volume, surface area, or neither.

Solution : We have given Cuboid with

Length =  12 units ,

Width = 6 units

Height = 8 units.

Volume of cuboid = length * width * height .

Volume = 12 *6 *8.

Surface area = 2 ( l *w  + h *+w *h)

Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6  + 8 *12 + 6* 8 ).

None = 12 +6 +8.

Therefore, Volume = 12 *6 *8 , Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6  + 8 *12 + 6* 8 ) .

I need helpppp (10 points )
irga5000 [103]

Answer:  The flagpole is about 22.3 feet tall.

This is roughly the size of a two story building, assuming each floor is 10 feet or so.

Since this height is under 25 ft, this flagpole is in compliance with the regulation.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

The horizontal leg of the triangle is 36 ft. This is the adjacent leg to the reference angle 25 degrees.

The vertical leg of the triangle is x-5.5, and this leg is the opposite side to the reference angle 25 degrees.

Use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.

Solve for x.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(25) = (x-5.5)/36

36*tan(25) = x-5.5

x-5.5 = 36*tan(25)

x = 36*tan(25)+5.5

x = 22.28707569358

x = 22.3 ft is the approximate height of the flagpole

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

The height is not over 25 ft, so this flagpole meets the requirements.
