X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
Answer:
=57.89%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of golf ball is 4+8+7 = 19
P (red or yellow) = number of red or yellow
------------------------------------
total number of golf balls
= 4+7
-----
19
=11/19
Changing this to a percent means changing it to a decimal and multiplying by 100%
= .578947368 * 100%
=57.8947368%
Rounding to two decimal places
=57.89%
Answer:
I'm pretty sure its -4-12x but I could be wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
First I tried to solve for x but got -12x+4 so to get 4 on the other side of the equation I subtracted and got -4-12x I hope this helps :)
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
7x4= 28
8x7= 56
simplify: 28/56=1/2
Answer:
a and d = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
since ABC and DEF are similar m<A = m<D so you have the equation
5x + 12 = 8x
subtract 8x from both sides
5x + 12 -8x = 0
subtract 12 from both sides
5x -8x = -12
combine like terms
-3x = -12
devide by -3
x = 4
plug 4 into equation
5(4) + 12 = 8*4
20 + 12 = 32
32 = 32
