The tangent represents the sides making up the right angle in a right angle triangle. To find out the answer to what you have asked, the simplest way is to assume that you are talking about a right angle triangle.

Step One

Find the hypotenuse. Use a variation of the Pythagorean Theorem.

opposite^2 + adjacent^2 = hypotenuse^2

5^2 + 12^2 = x^2

25 + 144 = x^2

x^2 = 169

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(169)

x = 13

Step Two

Find the sine.

When the tangent is given, the opposite in this case is 5.

That's because the opposite is always the numerator of a tangent.

Sin(theta) = 5/13 Answer

Simplify. (2/5)^4... words to fill in minimum space
Stella [2.4K]
When you have a power to a fraction, you simply take it by the top and then by the bottm.

So, split it into two: (2)^4 and (5)^4

Solve: (2)^4=16
(5)^4=625

So the fraction is: 16/625

Check to see if it reduces: It doesn't. (Odd and even numbers that have no common multiples).

Therefore, that's the answer.

The y intercept here is 95, and it represented from where the boy threw the ball.

If he threw it from 95 ft above the ground, the best answer for where he is is on a bridge.
His backyard is at 0 ft (sea level). An underground cave is below sea level. A ladder is probably not 95 ft.

Final answer: D
