Answer:

4.609 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the ladder because it is the slanted side. 3m is one of the other side lengths

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

3^2 + B^2 = 5.5^2

9 + B^2 = 30.25

30.25 - 9= B^2

21.25= B^2

4.609=B

Precalculus Homework help please.
aniked [119]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(5)

Using the trigonometric identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ cos²x = 1 - sin²x

Given

3sin²Θ + 2cos²Θ - 2

= 3sin²Θ + 2(1 - sin²Θ) - 2

= 3sin²Θ + 2 - 2sin²Θ - 2

= sin²Θ

(6)

Using the trigonometric identity

secx = \frac{1}{cosx}

Consider the left side

\frac{cosx}{1-sin^2x}

= \frac{cosx}{cos^2x}

= \frac{1}{cosx} = secx = right side ⇒ verified

(7)

Using the trigonometric identity

1 + cot²x = csc²x

Given

sin²x. cot²x + sin²x ← factor out sin²x from each term

= sin²x(cot²x + 1)

= sin²x. csc²x

= sin²x × \frac{1}{sin^2x} = 1

Please help need how to explain this theory. Thanks

Hi there!

A recipe for cake needs 3/4 of a cup of milk.
We are making 1/2 of the recipe, which means we also need half of the milk needed for the total recipe. Therefore, we can multiply 1/2 (half of the recipe) by 3/4 (the total amount of cups of milk needed for the total recipe).

\frac{1}{2} \times  \frac{3}{4} =  \frac{3  \times 1 }{2 \times 4} =  \frac{3}{8}
Hence, we need 3/8 cups of milk
