- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] cos∅ = adjacent over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We are given a right triangle. We can use trig to find the missing angle.
<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>
<em>POV from angle x</em>
Angle = <em>x</em>
Adjacent = 16
Hypotenuse = 27
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute: cosx° = 16/27
- Inverse: x° = cos⁻¹(16/27)
- Evaluate: x = 53.6588°
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parabola has the form
(vertex form)
then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

is located at the point (8, 6).
To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length <em>f</em>. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

where
is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length <em>f</em> is

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

No solution because 3=-1 isn’t true.
The distance is approximately 703 kilometers.
To travel that in 12 hours, a car has to go at 703/12=58.583 km/h
