Answer:

y = 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as z and inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{kx}{z}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 16 and z = 2 when x = 42

k = $\frac{yx}{z}$ = $\frac{16(42)}{2}$ = 336

y = $\frac{336z}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 14 and z = 8, then

y = $\frac{336(8)}{14}$ = 192

Someone please help me with this lol… have no idea what I’m doing

Given:

$\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\sin \theta$

To find:

The quadrant of the terminal side of $\theta$ and find the value of $\sin\theta$ .

Solution:

We know that,

In Quadrant I, all trigonometric ratios are positive.

In Quadrant II: Only sin and cosec are positive.

In Quadrant III: Only tan and cot are positive.

In Quadrant IV: Only cos and sec are positive.

It is given that,

$\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\sin \theta$

Here cos is positive and sine is negative. So, $\theta$ must be lies in Quadrant IV.

We know that,

$\sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta =1$

$\sin^2\theta=1-\cos^2\theta$

$\sin \theta=\pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$

It is only negative because $\theta$ lies in Quadrant IV. So,

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$

After substituting $\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$ , we get

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{3}{5})^2}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{9}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{25-9}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\dfrac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour. How long would it take him

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: it will take him 4.5 hours to cover same distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed×time

Therefore, distance covered by the marathon runner in in 4 hours, running at a speed of 8.1 km per hour is

8.1 × 4 = 32.4 kilometers

if he decreased the speed to 7.2 km per hour, the distance remains 32.4 kilometers. Therefore,

At 7.2 km per hour, the time it would take him to cover the same distance would be

Distance/ speed = 32.4/7.2 = 4.5 hours

Quadrilateral ABCD ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD ABCD

Kay [80]

Sketch the two quadrilaterals and label them as shown in the figure below.

Let x = length of the 4th side of ABCD.

Because ABCD ~ EFGH, therefore
x/5 = 14/6

That is,
x = (5/6)*14 = 11.67 ft

Answer: D. 11.7 ft
