Let sin ? = 4/5, and cos ? = ?3/5, and find the indicated value

1 answer:

4 0

Let the unknown angle be x.
That is
sin x = 4/5
cos x = 3/5

By drawing a right triangle in the first quadrant,
hypotenuse = 5
Adjacent side = 3
opposite side = 4

That is tan x = 4/3
From the calculator,
x = arctan(4/3) = 53 deg (nearest integer)

Answer: 53 deg. (nearest integer)

This problem requires the Pythagorean therom.

The distance between them is 7.

Since the distance between them is one more mile than ray's distance from home ray is 6 miles from home.

So rosa is $\sqrt{7^2-6^2}$

So rosa is $\sqrt{13}$ miles away from home.

Rosa is about 3.6 miles from home.

Find three consecutive even integers if three times the first integer is two times the third.

drek231 [11]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the three consecutive even integers are -8, -6 and -4.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the three consecutive even integers are represented by:

n, n + 2, n + 4

The first integer is two times the third, hence:

n = 2(n + 4)

2n + 8 = n
