Use a calculator to evaluate sec 85 degrees

Mathematics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]4 years ago
3 0

OK.  I used my calculator to evaluate sec(85 degrees).

My calculator doesn't have a "sec" button on it. 
But I remembered that

           sec of an angle = 1 / (cosine of the same angle) .

So I used my calculator to find cos(85), and then I hit the
" 1/x " key, and got 11.474, which I knew to be sec(85).

2. A guy wire for a tree is 20 ft. long, making a 21o angle with the ground. How far is the base of the tree from a stake anchor
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

A guy wire for a tree is 20 ft. long, making a 21 degree angle with the ground.

It forms a right angle triangle. the hypotenuse of the triangle is 20 ft

The adjacent side of the given angle 21 degree is the base of the tree from a stake

Let x be the base length

cos(theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos(21)=\frac{x}{20}

20cos(21)=x

x=18.7

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

A square pyramid is made up of a base with a side length of 10 inches and faces that are triangles with a height of 12 inches. W
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

D. 340 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length translates to 1 side of the square, so you do 10 x 10 to find the area of the square.

10 x 10 = 100

The triangle one isn't much more difficult. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is bh1/2

So:

10 x 12 = 120/2=60

From there just multiply the result by 4- the amount of triangles on the square pyramid, and you'll get your answer.

60

x 4

240 + 100 = 340 square inches

if this helped brainliest would be epic

Solve the equation<br> 121x ²+64=0
slava [35]
Hello there ^ _ ^

121x² + 64 = 0
121x² = 0 - 64
121x² = -64
x² = 64/121
Now take square root
x = +/-√-64/121


I hope this help!

natta225 [31]

Answer:

x = -8 please mark brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Pull out like factors :

  -x - 8  =   -1 • (x + 8)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -x-8 = 0

Add  8  to both sides of the equation :

                     -x = 8

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -8
