The length of the island will be given as follows:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
thus:
tan75.8= 3000/a1
a1=3000tan75.8
a1=11855.885 ft

also:
tan15.6=3000/a2
a2=3000tan15.6
a2=837.62 ft
Thus the length of the island will be:
11855.885-837.615
=11,018.24 ft

15. Use the unit circle to find the value of sin 3x/2 and cos 3x/2
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

3xpi/2 is 270 degree counter-clockwise from Ox

That time P(x,y) is (0,-1)

=> x= 0 and y = -1  as you can see in picture.

=> Cos 3pi/2 = x = 0

=> Sin 3pi/2 = y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Not so slow.

You are planning to put a new digital flat t.v on a wall that is 12ft long and 9ft high. the digital t.v has a diagonal of 72 in
Pie
Area of wall = 9 * 12 = 108 ft^2
Width of TV = x
Lenght = 2x
Diagonal of TV = 72 " = 6 ft


x^2+(2x)^2=6^2
x^2+4x^2=36
5x^2=35
x^2=36/5
x=sqrt(36/5)
Width = 2.68 ft.
Length = 2.68 * 5.36 = 14.36 ft^2
Area of wall - area of tv = 108 - 14.36 = 93.64 ft
