Here is the formula of sin cos tan :

sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan x = opposite / adjacent

d = hypotenuse

x = the angle known in your pic

like example if in your picture:

adjacent = 26.5

if want to find the d

cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 56 = 26.5 / d

d = 26.5 : cos(56)

d = 47.390 (3 significant figures)

and if want to find the opposite

tan x = opposite/adjacent

tan 56 = opposite/ 26.5

opposite = 26.5 × tan(56)

opposite = 39.288

-> Sorry if im wrong

<h3>Answer:  d = 47.3897287242421 approximately</h3>

Round this however you need to

=================================================

Explanation:

The reference angle is 56 degrees. The side 26.5 is adjacent to this angle as it is the leg closest to the angle (in contrast to the opposite leg or opposite side that is furthest from the reference angle)

The hypotenuse is d. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The longest side is always opposite the largest angle of a triangle.

We will use the cosine ratio as it is the ratio of adjacent over hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(56) = 26.5/d

d*cos(56) = 26.5

d = 26.5/cos(56)

d = 47.3897287242421

You use your calculator for the last step shown above. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Round that value however you need to.

Answer:

3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would first find the area of the square which is 16. Then you would find the area of the 2 semicircle or just on whole circle. We are just going to use the formula for a whole circle since there are 2 semicircles. The formula to find a circle is pi times r^2 so we are going to put that into a calculator so we would do pi times 2 (radius of circle)^2 which is 12.57 and we would subtract 16 by 12.57 which is 3.43

Answer:

1) (-3,-2)

2) x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The vertex of a parabola is the turning point that is the minimum or maximum of the graph, based on the shape of the parabola. In this case, the vertex is the minimum. By looking at the coordinate points, we can tell that the minimum value where the graph changes the direction is at (-3,-2).

2) The line of symmetry is the line on the graph that cuts the shape exactly in half. This means that if you were to fold the graph along this line, the two sides would be identical. All parabolas have a line of symmetry and it always matches the vertex. The equation for the line of symmetry will be x= whatever the x-value of the vertex is. So, for this graph, the line of symmetry is x=-3.
