I found this!!!!
The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
- The scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.
Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
This is:
cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
In this case:
\begin{gathered}\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC\end{gathered}
α=x\°
adjacent=BC=y
hypotenuse=AC
Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
, and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":
cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}cos(x\°)=
AC
y
AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}AC=
cos(x\°)
y
For the first question the answer is C(n)=0.75n-0.25
for the second question the answer is y=2x
Answer:
D=2.82
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.
Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under
Where
Replacing these values in the distance formula
Hence the Distance is 2.82 units
Answer:
Quincy read 9 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
Work backwards. Samantha read three less books than Teresa (11-3=8). Ralph read half as many books as Samantha (8/2 = 4). Quincy read five more books than Ralph (4 + 5 = 9).
Answer:
Short leg = √3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
the opposite angle of long leg is 60°
hypotenuse : x
sin 60° = 3/x = √3 / 2
x = (3 x 2) / √3 = 2√3
short leg length (s)
Cos 60° = 1/2 = s / x = s / 2√3
s = √3
