Triangle abc is a right triangle if side ac=7 and bc=10 whats the measure of side ab

1 answer:

4 0

If ab is the hypotenuse (the longest side)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2....a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
7^2 + 10^2 = c^2
49 + 100 = c^2
149 = c^2...now take sq rt of both sides....this gets rid of the ^2
sq rt 149 = c
12.21 = c

if ab is a leg
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + b^2 = 10^2
49 + b^2 = 100
b^2 = 100 - 49
b^2 = 51
b = sq rt 51
b = 7.14

find the values of the six trigonometric functions for angle theta in standard position if a point with the coordinates (1, -8)

frutty [35]

Answer:

cosФ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}$ , sinФ = $-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}$ , tanФ = -8, secФ = $\sqrt{65}$ , cscФ = $-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}$ , cotФ = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position, then the six trigonometry functions are:

cosФ = $\frac{x}{r}$
sinФ = $\frac{y}{r}$
tanФ = $\frac{y}{x}$
secФ = $\frac{r}{x}$
cscФ = $\frac{r}{y}$
cotФ = $\frac{x}{y}$

Where r = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$ (the length of the terminal side from the origin to point (x, y)

You should find the quadrant of (x, y) to adjust the sign of each function

∵ Point (1, -8) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position

∵ x is positive and y is negative

→ That means the point lies on the 4th quadrant

∴ Angle Ф is on the 4th quadrant

∵ In the 4th quadrant cosФ and secФ only have positive values

∴ sinФ, secФ, tanФ, and cotФ have negative values

→ let us find r

∵ r = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$

∵ x = 1 and y = -8

∴ r = $\sqrt{x} \sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}=\sqrt{1+64}=\sqrt{65}$

→ Use the rules above to find the six trigonometric functions of Ф

∵ cosФ = $\frac{x}{r}$

∴ cosФ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}$

∵ sinФ = $\frac{y}{r}$

∴ sinФ = $-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}$

∵ tanФ = $\frac{y}{x}$

∴ tanФ = $-\frac{8}{1}$ = -8

∵ secФ = $\frac{r}{x}$

∴ secФ = $\frac{\sqrt{65}}{1}$ = $\sqrt{65}$

∵ cscФ = $\frac{r}{y}$

∴ cscФ = $-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}$

∵ cotФ = $\frac{x}{y}$

∴ cotФ = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Which of the following questions is a statistical question?

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not full sure what the answer is but I do know that A statistical question is one that can be answered by collecting data and where there will be variability in that data. This is different from a question that anticipates a deterministic answer. For example, "How many minutes do 6th grade students typically spend on homework each week?" is a statistical question.

I think that a one of the answers may be number 3 but im not 100%

A plane is descending into the airport. After 5 minutes it is at a height of 6500 feet. After 7 minutes it is at a height of 590

Jet001 [13]

Let's assume

height of plane in feet =h

time in minutes =t

we are given

A plane is descending into the airport. After 5 minutes it is at a height of 6500 feet

so, we get one point as (5,6500)
