tan(angle) = opposite leg / adjacent leg


tan(angle) = 26 / 14.5


angle = arctan(26/14.5)


angle = 60.85 degrees.


The answer is C.

Bill needs to find the area of the ground covered by a conical tent. The tent is 12 feet tall and makes a 70° angle with the gro
LiRa [457]

To get the area of the cone we need to find the radius first.

tan 70=r/12

r=12tan 70

area of a circle is given by:

A=πr²

thus the area of the ground covered by the tent will be:

A=π(12tan70)²

The answer is  

A] A=π(12tan70°)²

Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are reciprocals of the zeroes of the polynomial x²-x-6​
inna [77]

Zeros of this function

  • x²-x-6=0
  • x²-3x+2x-6=0
  • x(x-3)+2(x-3)=0
  • (x+2)(x-3)=0
  • x={-2,3}

ZEros of reciprocal function

  • x={-1/2,1/3}

The equation

  • x²-(-1/2+1/3)x-(1/2)(1/3)=0
  • x²-1/6x-1/6=0

On number three how do u get the anser 15/4
Talja [164]

ration?  You deserve better from your teacher.

The ratio of auditorium to theater seats is

1200:320

That's a perfectly valid answer and we could stop here if we weren't asked for lowest terms.  Here I can see that 12 and 32 have a common factor of 4 and both these end in zero so 40 is a common factor:

1200:320 = 30:8

We can keep reducing by another factor of 2,

1200:320 = 30:8 = 15:4

There's our 15/4, which we get when we write the ratio as a fraction.

Answer: 15/4

--------------------------

This question implies a ratio is just a fraction, which it isn't.  Let's quickly note the differences.

A ratio can have zero on either side;  1:0 is a perfectly valid ratio but 1/0 is not a valid fraction.  A ratio can't be all zeros -- that's not allowed.

A ratio can have more than two numbers.  3:4:5 is a common ratio that gives rise to a right triangle.

Like fractions, ratios can be reduced:  For λ≠0,

λa : λb : λc = a:b:c

Solve 6|y| + 6 = 4<br>answers:<br>0<br>{-6,4}<br>{-4,4}<br>{0}​
lesya [120]

Answer:

the real answer is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6lyl +6=4 subtract 6 from both sides

6lyl =-2 divide both sides by 6

lyl = -1/3

But absolute value is always a positive quantity, so this is impossible.....
