Given sinx=-3/5 and x is in quadrant 3, what is the value of tan x/2?
2 answers:
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached image we can see the tan(x/2) relation with sine and cosine
tan(x/2)=sinx/(1+cosx)
sinx=-3/5
and from the triangle we can see that the cosine is equal to -4/5 (this triangle is also called a notable triangle of sides 3,4,5 in lenght)
tan(x/2)=(-3/5)/(1-4/5)
tan(x/2)=-3

<h3>Answer: 1075 square feet</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram below, I've drawn a blue horizontal line to split the figure into two rectangles (smaller one up top, larger down below).
The smaller rectangle up top is 25 ft by 8 ft, giving an area of 25*8 = 200 sq ft.
The larger rectangle down below is 35 ft by 25 ft so we have an area of 35*25 = 875 sq ft.
The total area is 200+875 = 1075 square feet
Notes:
- We can write "square feet" as "sq ft" or as "ft^2" without quotes.
- The portion "5 ft", in the upper left corner, is never used.
