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

(image) The figure below is an isosceles triangle surmounted by a semi-circle. Find the area of the entire region.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

12.53

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BCA = (180°-40°)/2 = 70°

Laws of Sines: CA/sin 40° = AB/sin 70° = 5/sin 70°

CA = 5/sin 70° * sin 40° = 3.40

area of semicircle CA = (3.1416 * 1.70²) / 2 = 4.54

By Heron's Formula, area of triangle ABC:

1/4 √(a+b+c) (a+b-c) (b+c-a) (c+a-b) = 1/4 * √13.4*3.4*3.4*6.6

                                                          = 7.99

Entire region area = 4.54 + 7.99 = 12.53

Radda [10]

Answer:

Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-0.000120968*t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The ODE of the life of Carbon-14:

                                       Q' = -r*Q

- The initial conditions Q(0) = Q_o

- Carbon isotope reaches its half life in t = 5730 yrs

Find:

The expression for Q(t).

Solution:

- Assuming Q(t) satisfies:

                                       Q' = -r*Q

- Separate variables:

                                      dQ / Q = -r .dt

- Integrate both sides:

                                       Ln(Q) = -r*t + C

- Make the relation for Q:

                                       Q = C*e^(-r*t)

- Using initial conditions given:

                                       Q(0) = Q_o

                                       Q_o = C*e^(-r*0)

                                      C = Q_o    

- The relation is:

                                       Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-r*t)

- We are also given that the half life of carbon is t = 5730 years:

                                       Q_o / 2 = Q_o*e^(-5730*r)

                                        -Ln(0.5) = 5730*r

                                        r = -Ln(0.5)/5730

                                        r = 0.000120968          

- Hence, our expression for Q(t) would be:

                                       Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-0.000120968*t)
