1⁄2 miles and the last day she hiked 3 miles. How many feet did she hike?

44,880 feet because there are 5280ft in a mile so you do: 5280(3) + 5280(2.5) + 5280(3) = 44,880

Suppose cos(x)= -1/3, where π/2 ≤ x ≤ π. What is the value of tan(2x). EDGE

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

$\displaystyle \cos x = -\frac{1}{3}\text{ where } \pi /2 \leq x \leq \pi$

And we want to find the value of tan(2<em>x</em>).

Note that since <em>x</em> is between π/2 and π, it is in QII.

In QII, cosine and tangent are negative and only sine is positive.

We can rewrite our expression as:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}$

Using double angle identities:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x}$

Since cosine relates the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse and we are given that cos(<em>x</em>) = -1/3, this means that our adjacent side is one and our hypotenuse is three (we can ignore the negative). Using this information, find the opposite side:

$\displaystyle o=\sqrt{3^2-1^2}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

So, our adjacent side is 1, our opposite side is 2√2, and our hypotenuse is 3.

From the above information, substitute in appropriate values. And since <em>x</em> is in QII, cosine and tangent will be negative while sine will be positive. Hence:

<h2> $\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}/3)(-1/3)}{(-1/3)^2-(2\sqrt{2}/3)^2}$ </h2>

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{(1/9)-(8/9)}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{-7/9} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}$

The final answer is positive, so we can eliminate A and B.

We can simplify D to:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\sqrt{8}}{7}=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}}{7}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}$

So, our answer is D.

Find the area of the figure.<br><br> answer choices:<br> 31 ft², 80 ft², 40 ft², 60 ft²

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

60 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the figure into 2 parts.

First, solve for the rectangle: Area of a rectangle = b*h = 4ft x 10ft = 40ft²

Then, solve for the triangle:

Height = 10ft - 5ft = 5ft

Base = 12ft - 4ft = 8ft

Area of a triangle = (b*h)/2 = (5ft x 8ft)/2 = 20ft²

Just add them together: 20ft² + 40ft² = 60ft²
