Which ratio represents sin A? a) 8/17 b) 15/17 c) 17/15 d) 17/8

2 answers:

8 0

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
in the right triangle ABD
AB²=BD²+AD²-----> BD²=AB²-AD²
AB=8
AD=64/17
BD²=8²-(64/17)²----> 64-(4096/289)----> BD²=14400/289
BD=√(14400/289)-----> BD=120/17

sin A=BD/AB-----> sin A=(120/17)/8----> 15/17

the answer is
15/17

Answer:

b) 15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that ΔABD is a right triangle with AB the hypotensue. The sine of an angle is the ratio of

opposite leg

hypotenuse

. In ΔABD you can solve for the opposite leg (BD) using the Pythagorean Theorem.

BD2 + [64/17)2 = 82

BD =

120

. Therefore, sin A =

Susan is 5 years older than her sister. The sum of their ages are 51. Define a variable. Then write an equation that could be us

Kay [80]

You would do
51-5= 46
then you would divide
46/2= 23
so Susan is
23+5=28
Susan is 28 years old and her sister is 23
28+23=51

To change knots per hour, use the expression 1.15k, where k is the speed in in knots per hour. A plane is flying at 300 knots pe

Free_Kalibri [48]

1.15(300).
Substitute k for 300, since the plane is flying 300 knots per hour, and k=knots per hour.

1.15(300)=345 miles per hour
After multiplying, 300 by 1.15, you get 345 miles per hour. This is the speed of the plane from Knots to MPH (Miles Per Hour).
