The fraction was greater than 1/2.

When you divide by a fraction, it is equal to multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or just 2. Therefore, dividing by 1/2 equals the same thing as when you multiply by 2.

A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction added together. So, the mixed number must be greater than 1.

1/2 is equal to 0.5, and 0.5 multiplied by 2 equals 1. A fraction less than 1/2 multiplied by 2 would equal a number less than 1, while a fraction greater than 1/2 would equal a number greater than 1.

Because a mixed number must be greater than 1, and a fraction greater than 1/2 multiplied by 2 would be greater than 1, the fraction that resulted in a mixed number after being multiplied by 2 must have been greater than 1/2.

Let (8,−3) be a point on the terminal side of θ. Find the exact values of cosθ, cscθ, and tanθ.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

$\text{Cos}\theta=\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{x}{R}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{73}}$

$\text{Csc}\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{73}}{3}$

$\text{tan}\theta =\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

(8, -3) is a point on the terminal side of angle θ.

Therefore, distance 'R' from the origin will be,

R = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

R = $\sqrt{8^{2}+(-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{64+9}$

= $\sqrt{73}$

Therefore, Cosθ = $\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{x}{R}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{73}}$

Sinθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{y}{R}=\frac{-3}{\sqrt{73} }$

tanθ = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-3}{8}$

Cscθ = $\frac{1}{\text{Sin}\theta}=\frac{R}{y}=-\frac{\sqrt{73}}{3}$

1. A MAP SCALE READS 1CM:5KM. IF A DISTANCE ON THE MAP MEASURES 7CM, THE ACTUAL DISTANCE WILL BE?. 2. A SCHOOL DINING HALL IS 35

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1. 35 km

2. 1 cm to 5m

3. 6 cm

4. $42^\circ$

5. 16.73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1.

Reading of map scale = 1cm:5km

i.e. 1 cm is equivalent to 5 km

Measurement of map = 7 cm

Actual distance = Measurement of map $\times 5$

Actual distance = 7 $\times 5$ = 35 km

-------------------

Solution 2.

Length of dining hall = 35 m

Measurement of map = 7 cm

Scale = Measurement of map : Length of dining hall (i.e. ratio)

Scale = 7 cm :35 m = 1 cm : 5 m

-------------------

Solution 3.

Length of building = 30 m

Scale = 1 cm to 5m

5 m is equivalent to 1 cm on scale

1 m is equivalent to $\frac{1}{5}$ cm on scale

30m is equivalent to $\frac{1}{5} \times 30$ = 6 cm on scale

-------------------

Solution 4.

Angle of elevation of A from B = $42^\circ$

Angle of depression of B from A = ?

Please refer to the image attached, we can clearly observe that both the angles (i.e. angle of elevation from A to B and angle of depression from B to A )will be equal.

Angle of depression of B from A = $42^\circ$

-------------------

Solution 5.

Given that:

String length, or hypotenuse of triangle BC= 25 m

Angle of string with horizontal, $\angle B = 42^\circ$

Please refer to the attached image for the clear understanding of the situation.

To find:

Height, AC = ?

We can use trigonometric identity:

$sin\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$sinB = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow sin42^\circ = \dfrac{AC}{25}\\\Rightarrow AC = 25 \times 0.67\\\Rightarrow AC = 16.73 m$

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

So, the answers are:

1. 35 km

2. 1 cm to 5m

3. 6 cm

4. $42^\circ$

5. 16.73 m

Adult tickets to the fall play cost $8 and student tickets cost $4. The drama class sold 30 more adult tickets than student tick

Arada [10]

8a+4s=840
a=s+30
8(s+30)+4s=840
12s+240=840
12s=600
s=50

A=s+30
a=50+30
a=80

The drama play sold 80 adult tickets
