The measure of the ∠LQP is 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the question is as attached in the image.

LMNP is a square. We know that for a square all sides are equal and intersects at 90°

Hence, LM=MP=PN=LN

and ∠LMP= ∠MPN= ∠PNL= ∠NLM= 90°

Δ LMQ is an equilateral triangle

We know that for equilateral triangle all sides are equal and all angles are 60°

LM=LQ=QM=MP=PN=LN and

∠LQM= ∠QML= ∠MLQ= 60°

∠LQP= ∠LQM+ ∠MQP eq 1

In Δ MPQ

∠QPM=90° and ∠PMQ= 90°-60°=30°

Hence, ∠MQP= 180°-(90°+30°)=60°

Putting the value of ∠MQP and ∠LQM in equation 1

∠LQP= 60°+60°= 120°

Thus the measure of ∠LQP=120°

the cost of renting a scooter is represented by 3j+5. Write and simplify an expression that represents the cost of renting 6 sco

wariber [46]

Simplified expression that represents the cost of renting 6 scooters is 18 j +30

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given data:

The cost of renting of a scooter is represented by 3j +5

So, from that, we can say in general,

The cost of renting of n scooters is represented by

$n \times(3 j+5)$

But according to given, the value of n is 6. i.e. to find the cost for six number of scooters. We can calculate now as follows

So, the cost of renting of a scooter is represented by

$6 \times(3 j+5)=18 j+30$

Find sin(a)&cos(B), tan(a)&cot(B), and sec(a)&csc(B).

Reil [10]

Answer:

Part A) $sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7},\ cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) $tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}},\ tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) $sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}},\ csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Find $sin(\alpha)\ and\ cos(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of sine of one angle is equal to the cosine of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

$sin(\alpha)=cos(\beta)$

Find the value of $sin(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{8}{14}$ ---> opposite side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

therefore

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

$cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) Find $tan(\alpha)\ and\ cot(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of tangent of one angle is equal to the cotangent of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

$tan(\alpha)=cot(\beta)$

<em>Find the value of the length side adjacent to the angle alpha</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Let

x ----> length side adjacent to angle alpha

$14^2=x^2+8^2\\x^2=14^2-8^2\\x^2=132$

$x=\sqrt{132}\ units$

simplify

$x=2\sqrt{33}\ units$

Find the value of $tan(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{8}{2\sqrt{33}}$ ---> opposite side divided by the adjacent side angle alpha

simplify

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

therefore

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

$tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) Find $sec(\alpha)\ and\ csc(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of secant of one angle is equal to the cosecant of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

$sec(\alpha)=csc(\beta)$

Find the value of $sec(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{1}{cos(\alpha)}$

Find the value of $cos(\alpha)$

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{2\sqrt{33}}{14}$ ---> adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}$

therefore

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

$csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

Someone please let me know the answer

erastova [34]

Answer:

The answer is 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

$when \: \: \sqrt{3} \sin( \alpha ) - \cos( \alpha ) = 0 \\ \sqrt{3} \sin( \alpha ) = \cos( \alpha ) \\ multiply \: by \: \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} \cos( \alpha ) } \\ then \\ \frac{ \sin( \alpha ) }{ \cos( \alpha ) } = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \tan( \alpha ) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ then \: \alpha = 30$
