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

20 POINTS!!! PLZ ANSWER!! On the moon, the time, in seconds, it takes for an object to fall a distance, d, in feet, is given by

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Part a) $f(2)=1.57\ sec$

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) see the explanation

Part c) $2,165.43\ sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(d) -----> the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall

d -----> distance in feet

we have

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{d}$

Part a): Determine f(2) and explain what it represents

we know that

f(2) represent the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

For $d=2\ ft$

substitute in the function above and solve for f(2)

$f(2)=1.11\sqrt{2}$

$f(2)=1.57\ sec$

therefore

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) The imbrium basin is the largest basin on the moon. A reasonable domain for the height above the lowest point in the basin is given by {d|0 ≤ d ≤ 3805774}

What does this tell you about the basin?

The height of the basin is greater than or equal to 0 ft and less than or equal to 3,805,774 ft

The maximum height of the basin is 3,805,774 ft

Part c) How long would it take a rock to drop from the rim to the bottom of the basin?

we know that

The distance from the rim to the bottom of the basin is equal to the maximum height of the basin

$d=3,805,774\ ft$

substitute the value of d in the function f(d)

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{3,805,774}$

$f(d)=2,165.43\ sec$

you are at the mall and you want to buy a hoodie for 35 dollars its on sale for 25 percent off how do you find the discounted pr

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:Thus, a product that normally costs $35 with a 25 percent discount will cost you $26.25, and you saved $8.75. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 25.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $35 as follows: $35 x .25 = $8.75 savings.
