Answer:

7sinΠ/6 (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle given is a right angled triangle, the SOH CAH TOA method will be employed.

Given opposite side to be 'y' (the side facing the acute angle)

The hypotenuse = 7feet(the longest side)

Any the angle theta = 30°

According to SOH;

sin(theta) = opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin30° = y/7

y = 7sin30°

Note that 180°=Πrad

30° = Π/6rad

y = 7sinΠ/6 (A)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the side opposite to the 90 degree angle (here, side opposite to angle A) is known as the hypotenuse.

Also, the side that is "opposite" to the angle given (here side opposite is y to angle given 30 degrees) is the opposite side.

Since we want to find "opposite" and have "hypotenuse" , recalling trig ratios, we can say opposite/hypotenuse is the ratio SINE, so we can write:

$Sin(30)=\frac{y}{7}$

We solve for y:

$Sin(30)=\frac{y}{7}\\y = 7 Sin(30)$

Since the answer choice has angles in radians, we recall 30 degrees is $\frac{\pi}{6}$ radians.

Thus, the correct answer is $7Sin(\frac{\pi}{6})$ , or option A

A rectangle has a length of 45 inches less than 4 times its width. if the area of the rectangle is 3325 square inches, find the

Maru [420]

The length of the rectangle is based on its width, so let's call width w and put the length in terms of the width. We are told that the width is 45 less than 4 times the width, so the length is 4w - 45. Area is found by multiplying length times width and we are given the area as 3325. So we will set up length times width and solve for w, which we will then use to solve for l. 3325 = (4w - 45)(w). Multiplying out we have $3325=4w^2-45w$ . Move the constant over by subtraction and then we will have a quadratic that can be factored to solve for w. $4w^2-45w-3325=0$ . We would put that through the quadratic formula to solve for w. When we do that we get that w = 35 and w = -23.75. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative is time and distance/length, so -23.75 is out. That means that the width is 35. The length is 4(35) - 45 which is 95. The dimensions of your rectangle are length is 95 and width is 35. There you go!
