Answer:

The total distance walked by Amber = 17.63 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graphs shows the locations of Amber's, Betsey's and Claire's houses.

Each unit on the graph represents 1 block.

It is formed a right angle triangle.

In a right angle triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. It is called the Pythagorean statement.

Here hypotenuse represents the distance between Amber house and Claire house.

We use the Pythagorean statement and find the distance between Amber house and Claire house.

Since Distance from Claire's house to Betsey's house = 7 blocks = 7 units

and distance between Amber and Betsey's house = 8 blocks = 8 units

Distance² = 7² + 8²

= 49 + 64

= 113

Taking square root on both sides, we get

√Distance² = √113

Distance = 10.63 units

So, the distance between Amber house to Claire house = 10.63 units

Therefore, the total distance walked by Amber = 10.63 units + 7 units

= 17.63 units

Answer:

Distance between Amber and Claire's house = 17.63 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

In this graph three points are showing the locations of Amber's, Betsey's and Claire's houses.

Each unit on the graph represents 1 block.

Amber walks from her house to Claire's house, then on to Betsey's house.

We have to calculate the distance covered by Amber.

Since Distance from Claire's house to Betsey's house = 7 blocks = 7 units

and distance between Amber and Betsey's house = 8 blocks = 8 units

Now we will calculate the distance between Amber and Claire's house by Pythagoras theorem.

Distance² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113

Distance = √113 units = 10.63 units

Therefore, total distance walked by Amber = 10.63 + 7 = 17.63 units = 17.63 blocks

1. if csc β = 7/3 and cot β = - 2√10 / 3, Find sec β

slava [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan \beta = \frac{1}{ \cot \beta } = - \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{10} } = - \frac{3 \sqrt{10} }{20}$

$\csc \beta \tan \beta = \frac{1}{ \cos \beta } = \sec \beta$

Therefore,

$\sec \beta = ( \frac{7}{3} )( - \frac{3 \sqrt{10} }{20} ) = - \frac{7 \sqrt{10} }{20}$

$\csc y = \frac{1}{ \sin y} = - \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$

$= > \sin y = - \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{3}$

Use the identity

$\cos y = \sqrt{1 - \sin ^{2} y} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \sqrt{1 - {( - \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{3}) }^{2} } = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3}$

We chose the negative value of the cosine because of the condition where cot y > 0. Otherwise, choosing the positive root will yield a negative cotangent value. Now that we know the sine and cosine of y, we can now solve for the tangent:

$\tan \beta = \frac{ \sin y}{ \cos y} =( - \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{3} )( - \frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} } ) = \sqrt{2}$

3. Recall that sec x = 1/cos x, therefore cos x = 5/6. Solving for sin x,

$\sin x = \sqrt{1 - \cos ^{2} x} = \sqrt{ \frac{11}{6} }$

Solving for tan x:

$\tan x = \frac{ \sin x}{ \cos x} = (\frac{ \sqrt{11} }{ \sqrt{6} } )( \frac{6}{5} ) = \frac{ \sqrt{66} }{5}$

HELP FAST PLEASE! ILL GIVE 20 POINTS PLUS BRAINLIEST!!!!

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive function tells you the first term is 1. That is the meaning of ...

$a_1=1$

It also tells you that to find the next term, you multiply this term by 1/2:

$a_2=\dfrac{1}{2}a_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 1=\dfrac{1}{2}$

And, to find the next term, you multiply this term by 1/2:

$a_3=\dfrac{1}{2}a_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Then the first three terms are ...

1, 1/2, 1/4

The leftmost digits of two numbers are 8 and 3. Can you tell which number is greater? Explain

irinina [24]

The one with the 8 in the leftmost digit is greater because a number that has an 8 in the leftmost digit is larger number than one with a 3 in the leftmost digit place. so the one eith the 8 woukd be greater.
