24 people where using gym. the ratio of men to women is 2:1. what is the ratio of men

1 answer:

6 0

Salutations!

let the number of men be x

2x + x = 24

combine the like terms

$2x+x=24$

$3x = 24$

$x=24/3$

$x=8$

The ratio of men is 8

hope I helped (:

have a great day!

In a given right triangle, If 0 º < x < 90 º and cos x = √ 3 / 2, then sin x = ?

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The "Pythagorean relation" between trig functions can be used to find the sine.

<h3>Pythagorean relation</h3>

The relation between sine and cosine is the identity ...

sin(x)² +cos(x)² = 1

This can be solved for sin(x) in terms of cos(x):

sin(x) = √(1 -cos(x)²)

<h3>Application</h3>

For the present case, using the given cosine value, we find ...

sin(x) = √(1 -(√3/2)²) = √(1 -3/4) = √(1/4)

sin(x) = 1/2

<em>Additional comment</em>

The sine and cosine of an angle are the y and x coordinates (respectively) of the corresponding point on the unit circle. The right triangle with these legs will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem with ...

sin(x)² + cos(x)² = 1 . . . . . . where 1 is the hypotenuse (radius of unit circle)

A calculator can always be used to verify the result.
