The point (16, 12) lies on the terminal side of an angle. find cos, tan, and sin

1 answer:

8 0

The terminal side means that it's 16 to the right and 12 up. Which means that the triangle made from this has the sides of 16 and 12 and the hypotenuse is 20 units long. Theta, in this case, would have 16 as it's adjacent and 12 as it's opposite.
Therefore, using the Pythagorean identities:
<span> $sin(\theta) = \frac{12}{20} = \boxed{\frac{3}{5}} \\\ cos(\theta) = \frac{16}{20} = \boxed{\frac{4}{5}} \\\ tan(\theta) = \frac{12}{16} = \boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$ </span>

A rectangle with a length of L and a width of W has a diagonal of 10 inches. Express the perimeter P of the rectangle as a funct

KatRina [158]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:

$Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.

Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.

We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:

$10=\sqrt{L^2+W^2}$

( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )

Hence, we have:

$10^2=L^2+W^2\\\\i.e.\\\\W^2=100-L^2\\\\W=\pm \sqrt{100-L^2}$

But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.

Hence, we have:

$W=\sqrt{100-L^2}$

Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

$Perimeter=2(L+W)$

Here we have:

$Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})$

Three consecutive integers whose sum is -147

suter [353]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer be x

2nd integer = x + 1

3rd integer = x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -147

3x + 3 = -147

3x = -147 - 3

3x = -150

x = -150 ÷ 3

x = -50

The three consecutive integers are

-50, -49, -48

Find the angle made by the x axis and the terminal side resulting from connecting the origin to (5,7), rounded to the nearest in

prohojiy [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

55°

<h2> Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To solve this, follow these steps:

i. <em>Make a sketch of the problem</em>.

The sketch has been attached to this response.

ii. <em>Label the sketch properly</em>

As shown in the sketch, θ is the angle between the x-axis and the terminal side resulting from connecting the origin to (5,7).

iii. <em>Solve using the tangent trigonometric ratio</em>

With the proper sketch and labelling, a right triangle is formed with the adjacent and opposite sides to the angle being 5 units and 7 units respectively.

Using the tangent formula,

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = 7 / 5

θ = tan⁻¹ (7/5)

θ = tan⁻¹ (1.4)

θ = 54.46

θ = 55° to the nearest integer.

Therefore, the angle made by the x axis and the terminal side resulting from connecting the origin to (5,7), rounded to the nearest integer is 55°
