The wording of this problem indicates that there was an illustration. Could you possibly share that illustration?
Working without an illustration:
If tan theta = 3, then tan theta = opp/adj = 3/1. This tells us that the opp side is 3 times as long as is the adj. side. Let x be the shorter side, i. e., let x represent the adjacent side; then y is the longer side and represents the opposite side.
Then y = 3x (the opp side is 3x the adj side in length).
Applying the Pyth. Thm. a^2 + b^2 = c^2,
x^2 + (3x)^2 = hyp^2 = (25 cm.)^2
So x^2 + 9x^2 = (625 cm^2)
10x^2 = 625 cm^2, or x^2 = (625 cm^2) / 10 = 62.5 cm^2
x = 7.91 cm. Therefore, y = 3(7.91) = 23.72 cm.
We were supposed to round off these answers to the nearest 10th cm.
Therefore, x = 7.9 cm and y = 23.7 cm
Would that be A, B, C or D?
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Half of two of something would be only one of that something. In this case the something is 1/3 so our answer is 1/3.
1.27, think money.
100 pennies is $1
27 cents left
$1.27
Answer:
This is a statistical question because to answer this question, you would collect data by asking students about their favorite colors, and there would be variability in the data. The favorite color would not be the same for every student
