Firstly, we can simplify the ratio of boys to girls to
1
:
2
.
Then, to find out how many students each ratio represents, we add up
1 and 2 to get 3
(1+2=3)
By dividing 3
by the number of students, we can find how many students ONE ratio represents:
24 3=8

So ONE ratio is equal to 8
boys. Since our simplified ratio of boys to girls is
1:2
already, we do not have to do further multiplying - the number of boys is simply 8.
For the girls, simply multiply 2 by 8 to get 16

Check: 8 boys + 18 girls = 24students

Call the angles of depression D.

then tan(D)=20/30, or I

arctan(tan(D)) = arctan(⅔)

D=33.690. A is the answer

your calculator probably uses tan^-1 rather than arctan

Find the tangents of the acute angles in the right triangle. Write each answer as a fraction. WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST!!
patriot [66]

Answers:

  • tan(G) = 2
  • tan(H) = 1/2

=======================================

Explanation:

Recall that tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

So for reference angle G, we say,

tan(G) = JH/GJ = 2/1 = 2

We'll treat tan(H) in a similar fashion, but the opposite and adjacent sides swap roles. That means we'll apply the reciprocal to the result above to get 1/2 for tan(H)

-----------

So we have this interesting property where

tan(G)*tan(H) = 2*(1/2) = 1

In general,

tan(A)*tan(B) = 1 if and only if A+B = 90 degrees

-----------

Side note: The side sqrt(5) isn't used at all.

A planet's radius is approximately 1,534 mi. About two-thirds of the planet's surface is covered by water.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

ok so the earth radius is 1534mi so if that is the radius than the area is 7.39×10^6so then you divide that into 3 pieces so each piece would be 2,463,333.3333 the nearest million would be 2,000,000
