Let ABC be a triangle in the 3rd quadrant, right-angled at B. 
 So, AB-> Perpendicular BC -> Base AC -> Hypotenuse. 
Given: sinθ=-3/5 cosecθ=-5/3 
 According to Pythagorean theorem, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of the other two sides.
 Therefore in triangle ABC, 〖AC〗^2=〖AB〗^2+〖BC〗^2 ------
--(1)
 Since sinθ=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse ,
 AC=5 and AB=3
 Substituting these values in equation (1)
 
〖BC〗^2=〖AC〗^2-〖AB〗^2

 ă€–BC〗^2=5^2-3^2
 

 ă€–BC〗^2=25-9

 ă€–BC〗^2=16

 BC=4 units

 Since the triangle is in the 3rd quadrant, all trigonometric ratios, except tan
and cot are negative.
 So,cosθ=Base/Hypotenuse Cosθ=-4/5 
 secθ=Hypotnuse/Base secθ=-5/4 
 tanθ=Perpendicular/Base tanθ=3/4  
 cotθ=Base/Perpendicular cotθ=4/3

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The linear speed is

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the circle

The circumference is equal to

we have

substitute

step 2

Find the linear speed in feet per minute

we know that

The wheel is rotating at 10 revolutions per minute

Convert revolutions to feet

Remember that

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle

so

10 revolutions is equal to

therefore

The linear speed is

A bowl of fruit is on the table. It contains 5 apples, 2 oranges, and 2 bananas. Christian and Aaron come home from school and r
Sholpan [36]

The probability that both grab oranges would be = \frac{1}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A bowl contains,

Apples = a = 5

Oranges = o = 2

bananas = b = 2

Total fruits in bowl = x = a + o + b = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9

Now, Christian and Aaron come home from school and randomly grab one fruit each.

The probability of first selecting orange would be = \frac{o}{b} = \frac{2}{9}

Now, the oranges left would be 2 - 1 = 1

and total fruits would be = 9 - 1 = 8

Hence, the probability of selecting second orange would be = \frac{1}{8}

Therefore, the probability that both grab oranges would be = \frac{1}{8} * \frac{2}{9} = \frac{1}{36}
