(last question, so please help if you can!) Jim is designing a seesaw for a children's park. The seesaw should make an angle of

30° with the ground, and the maximum height to which it should rise is 2 meters, as shown below: A see-saw is shown with one end on the ground and the other in the air. The see-saw makes an angle of 30 degrees with the groun What is the maximum length of the seesaw? (6 points) 3.00 meters 3.5 meter 4.00 meters 4.5 meters

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, use trigonometric ratios (sin to be specific). Sin = Opp/Hypotenuse. Thus, we can do sin(30) is equal to 2/hypotenuse. Then, we can simplify to get Hypotenuse = 2/sin(30). Then, we can simplify to get the maximum length as 4 meters.

Jane earns a 5.5% commission on the selling price of each home she sells. She earned $9,020 in commission on the sale of a home.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

"$164000" is the appropriate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price be "s".

As per the question,

If Jane take 5.5% of selling price i.e.,

= 0.055\times s

Given commission,

= $9,020

then,

The selling price will be:

⇒ 0.055\times s=9020

                s=\frac{9020}{0.055}

                   =164000 ($)

Given klmn is a trapezoid, kl = mn, m<1 = m<2, lm/kn = 8/9, pklmn = 132. Find: the length of the legs
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached in the answer.

As both the angles are equal thus the two forms isosceles triangles. This is true because the converse of base angle theorem is applicable here. The theorem clearly states that when a trapezoid is divided by the diagonal, it forms two set of angles where m<1=m<2 and m<lmk=m<nmk

This leads the two set of legs such as

\dfrac{lm}{kn}=\dfrac{8}{9}

Or this could be written as

lm=8x\\kn=9x

Now the remaining two sides are given as

lk=lm as this form an isosceles triangle so

lk=8x

Similarly

mn=lm\\

Or

mn=8x

Now the perimeter is given as

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\

Here perimeter is given as 132 so this gives:

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\132=8x+8x+8x+9x\\132=33x\\x=\dfrac{132}{33}\\x=4

So the four legs are of length as given below:

lm=8x=8\times 4=32\\mn=8x=8\times 4=32\\lk=8x=8\times 4=32\\kn=9x=9\times4=36

So the length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.

Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given that sin u = − 8 17 and cos v = − 24 25 . (Both u and v are in Quadra
Rashid [163]

Answer: sin u = -5/13 and cos v = -15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The nice thing about trig, a little information goes a long way. That’s because there is a lot of geometry and structure in the subject. If I have sin u = opp/hyp, then I know opp is the opposite side from u, and the hypotenuse is hyp, and the adjacent side must fit the Pythagorean equation opp^2 + adj^2 = hyp^2.

So for u: (-5)^2 + adj^2 = 13^2, so with what you gave us (Quad 3),

==> adj of u = -12 therefore cos u = -12/13

Same argument for v: adj = -15,

opp^2 + (-15)^2 = 17^2 ==> opp = -8 therefore sin v = -8/17

The cosine rule for cos (u + v) = (cos u)(cos v) - (sin u)(sin v) and now we substitute: cos (u + v) = (-12/13)(-15/17) - (-5/13)(-8/17)

I am too lazy to do the remaining arithmetic, but I think we have created a way to approach all of the similar problems.

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 8 when x = –6. What direct variation equation relates x and y? What is the value of y
Agata [3.3K]
Given:
y varies directly with x
y = 8 when x = -6

what is the value of y when x = -2?

y = kx

we need to get the constant of variation.
8 = k(-6)
8/-6 = k
4/-3 = k or - 1 1/3

y = -4/3 (-2)
y = (-4*-2) / 3
y = 8 / 3
y = 2 2/3 OR 2.67

The correct answer is Choice B. y = -1.33x ; 2.67
