What is the tangent ratio for ∠E

Mathematics

oksian1 [2.3K]3 years ago

Answer:  The tangent ratio for angle E is \dfrac{3}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the tangent ratio of angle E in the figure.

From the figure, we note that

the triangle DEF is a right-angled triangle, where ∠D = 90° and ∠E is an acute angle.

We know that

tangent ratio of an angle is given by the length of the perpendicular divided by the length of the base associated with that particular angle.

Now, for angle E, we have

perpendicular = DF = 6 units

and

base = DE = 8 units.

Therefore, the tangent ratio for angle E will be

\tan \angle E=\dfrac{perpendicular}{base}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{DF}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{6}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{3}{4}.

Thus, the tangent ratio for angle E is \dfrac{3}{4}.

Given f(x) = 3x + 4 and g(x) = 8x + 1<br> then what is ( f + g )(0))?
alexandr1967 [171]
(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)

(f+g)(x)=3x+4+8x+1

(f+g)(x)=11x+5

(f+g)(0)=11(0)+5

(f+g)(0)=0+5

(f+g)(0)=5

Please help me with missing angles​
saul85 [17]

Answer:

u = 40° , v = 40° and x = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

i) from the rule of triangle we know that the sum of all three angles = 180°

ii) 100° + 40° + y = 180°. Therefore y = 40°. where y is the angle adjacent to v.

iii) from theorem on parallel lines we can say that u = y =40°

iv) from the properties of parallel lines we get v = 40° as interior alternate angles are equal.

v) again from the properties of parallel lines we get u = 40°

vi) using the triangle property as in i) we can see that u + v + x =180° therefore 40° + 40° + x = 180°. Therefore x = 100°.

vii) Therefore u = 40° , v = 40° and x = 100°

Which statement is true about the graphs of the two lines and ? y= -8x -5/4 and y = 1/8x + 4/5
Ronch [10]
Y = -8x - 5/4......slope here is -8 or -8/1
y = 1/8x + 4/5...slope here is 1/8

what u have here are negative reciprocal slopes....negative reciprocal of a number can be found by flipping the number and changing the sign. So the negative reciprocal of -8/1 is 1/8 (see how I flipped the number and changed the sign)...and when u have negative reciprocal slopes, this means that ur lines are perpendicular.

Mai is flying a plane at an altitude of 1600 ft. She sights a stadium at an angle of
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

2,789ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will give a right angled triangle.

The altitude will be the opposite side = 1600 ft

The angle of depression = 35°

approximate direct distance to the stadium is the hypotenuse of the trisngle= x

Using the SOH trig identity to get the distance

sin 35 = opp/hyp

sin 35 = 1600/x

x = 1600/sin35

x = 1600/0.5736

x = 2,789.4ft

Hence mai’s approximate direct distance to the stadium is 2,789ft
