To calculate percent change:
(difference between original and new)/original * 100
(19-15)/15 * 100 =
4/15 * 100 = 26.7 % increase

I need help!! please, you don’t even have to do it all just explain to me how to do the first one I’ll catch on

Hi there!

What we need to know:

The three main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

"Opposite" refers to the side opposite the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"Hypotenuse" refers to the side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.

"Adjacent" refers to the side next to the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"θ" is read as "theta". It just represents the angle.

Keep in mind that these three ratios only apply to right triangles.

You can use the mnemonic "soh-cah-toa" to help you remember these ratios.

First question

For the first question, we're given the angle with a measure of 56 degrees and the length of the hypotenuse. We must calculate a, which represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Given the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, we know that we must use the cosine ratio:

$\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

Plug in the given information:

$\displaystyle cos56=\frac{a}{13}$

Isolate a by multiplying both sides by 13:

$13\displaystyle cos56=a$

Solve using a calculator:

$a=7.3$

Therefore, a is equal to 7.3 when rounded to 1 decimal place.

Other information you will need to know:

In the above question, we needed to solve for a side. But what if we were given two sides and we needed to solve for an angle? For example:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{5}{8}$

In this case, we will use the inverse sine ratio:

$\displaystyle \theta=sin^-^1(\frac{5}{8})$

Solve using a calculator:

$\displaystyle \theta=39$

Therefore, the angle would equal approximately 39 degrees.

I hope this helps!

A convertible is traveling at 45 miles per hour, and its wheels have a diameter of 48 inches. How many complete revolutions do t

neonofarm [45]

To answer this question you will need to know how many inches the car travels Per minute.

1. To find this out you will first divide 45 miles by 60 to get the number of miles per minute.

The convertible travels 0.75 mi./min.

2. Next you will convert this number of miles to inches.

There are 63,360 inches per mile.

0.75 x 63360 = 47520 inches per minute.

3. You then need to find the distance the wheel travels in one rotation. You will need to find the circumference of the wheel.

C = pi x d
3.14 x 48
C = 150.72 inches
Each rotation is about 150.72 inches.

4. Finally, divide the total distance traveled in a minute by the circumference(distance of one rotation) to get the total number of rotations in a minute.

47520/150.72 is about 315.3 rotations per minute.
