Ok, you are given a point and you need to find the exact values for cos \theta csc \theta & tan \theta

First thing first. We need to see if we are working with a unit circle and find the radius.

How to tell if we are working with a unit circle?
We know x^2 + y^2 = r^2 is a circle.

We know that to find the radius we can use the following formula:
r^2 = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

If r^2 = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 1 we are working with a unit circle.

Lets see if it = 1.
r^2 = \sqrt{4^2 + -7^2}
r^2 = \sqrt{16 + 49}
r^2 = \sqrt{65}

Square both sides now
\sqrt{r^2} = \sqrt{\sqrt{65}}
r = \pm 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}

Since we squared, we have a + and a - but we disregard the - because we do not have - radii 
r = 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}
We can also say
r = \sqrt[4]{65}

Ok, since r does not equal 1, we are not working with a unit circle but we have found r, which is our radius.

Now that we know the value of r, which is r = 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}, we need to look at the identities of cos, csc and tan.


The identities:
cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}
csc \theta = \frac{1}{y}
tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}

Now that we know their identities and know the radius of our circle, we can find the exact values of cos, csc and tan.

cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = \frac{4}{65^{\frac{1}{4}}} 
csc \theta = \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{-7}
tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-7}{4}

The exact values for cos, csc and tan given the point (4,-7) are:
cos \theta = \frac{4}{65^{\frac{1}{4}}} 
csc \theta = \frac{1}{-7}
tan \theta = \frac{-7}{4}

Answer:

Cube=150cm^2

Triangular Prism=228ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube

A=6a^2=6*5^2=150cm^2

Triangular prism

Using these formulas

A=2A_{B}+(a+b+c)h\\A_{B} =\sqrt{s(s*a)(s*b)(s*c)} \\s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}

Solving for A

A=ah+bh+ch+\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{-a^4+2(ab)^2+2(ac)^2-b^4+2(bc)^2-c^4} \\=6.5*11+5*11+6.5*11+\frac{1}{2} *\sqrt{-6.5^4+2*(6.5*5)^2+2*(6.5*6.5)^2-5^4+2*(5*6.5)^2-6.5^4} \\=228ft^2

The height of a triangle is twice the length of its base. The
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

height = 14.2 m , base = 7.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let the base be b then height h = 2b

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh

Here A = 50 , then

\frac{1}{2} × b × 2b = 50

b² = 50 ( take square root of both sides )

b = \sqrt{50} ≈ 7.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

Then base = 7.1 m and height = 2 × 7.1 = 14.2 m

(d) If mZABD=60°, and point C is in the interior of ABD, then mZABC=40° and m/CBD=20°. Counterexample: m ZABC = [], m2 CBD = "
DENIUS [597]

The counter example: m∠ ABC = 35°, and m∠ CBD = 25°.

An angle is a figure in Euclidean geometry made up of two rays that share a common terminal and are referred to as the angle's sides and vertices, respectively. Angles created by two rays are in the plane where the rays are located. When two planes intersect each other will create an angle.

Point C is the interior of ABD.

The measure of angle ABD is 60°.

The measure of angle ABC is 40°.

The measure of angle CBD is 20°.

Now when we add the angle ABC and CBD:

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = 40° + 20°

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = 60°

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = ∠ ABD

The counter-example will be:

∠ ABD = ∠ ABC + ∠ CBD

60° = 35° + 25°

Therefore,

∠ ABC = 35° and ∠ CBD = 25°
