Answer:

a x = 14.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 14^2 = 20^2

x^2 +196 = 400

Subtract 196 from each side

x^2+196-196 = 400-196

x^2 =204

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(204)

x =14.28285686

To the nearest tenth

x = 14.3 units

given that sin theta= 1/4, 0 is less than theta but less than pi/2, what is the exact value of cos theta

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle $\theta$ , we have that:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

Quadrant:

$0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ means that $\theta$ is in the first quadrant. This means that both the sine and the cosine have positive values.

Find the cosine:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\frac{1}{4})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$\frac{1}{16} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{16-1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{15}{16}$

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}$

Since the angle is in the first quadrant, the cosine is positive.

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Theresa Morgan, a chemist, has a 30% hydrochloric acid solution and a 50% hydrochloric acid solution. How many liters of each sh

Bogdan [553]

Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution
