Answer: The correct option is (C) 6.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a triangle ABC in the figure, in which

$m\angle A=m\angle C=63^\circ,~~~AB=3x~\textup{units}~~\textup{and}~~BC=(4x-2)~\textup{units}.$

We are given to find the length of side AB.

In ΔABC, we have

$m\angle A=m\angle C.$

We know that in a triangle,

if two angles have equal measures, then the sides opposite to them are equal in length.

So, we must have

$BC=AB\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-2=3x\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=2\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.$

Therefore, the length of AB will be

$AB=3x=3\times 2=6.$

Thus, the length of side AB is 6 units.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

Find the six trig function values of the angle 240*Show all work, do not use calculator

-BARSIC- [3]

Solution:

Given:

$240^0$

To get sin 240 degrees:

240 degrees falls in the third quadrant.

In the third quadrant, only tangent is positive. Hence, sin 240 will be negative.

$sin240^0=sin(180+60)$

Using the trigonometric identity;

$sin(x+y)=sinx\text{ }cosy+cosx\text{ }siny$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} sin(180+60)=sin180cos60+cos180sin60 \\ sin180=0 \\ cos60=\frac{1}{2} \\ cos180=-1 \\ sin60=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \\ Thus, \\ sin180cos60+cos180sin60=0(\frac{1}{2})+(-1)(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) \\ sin180cos60+cos180sin60=0-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ sin180cos60+cos180sin60=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \\ Hence, \\ sin240^0=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \end{gathered}$

To get cos 240 degrees:

240 degrees falls in the third quadrant.

In the third quadrant, only tangent is positive. Hence, cos 240 will be negative.

$cos240^0=cos(180+60)$

Using the trigonometric identity;

$cos(x+y)=cosx\text{ }cosy-sinx\text{ }siny$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} cos(180+60)=cos180cos60-sin180sin60 \\ sin180=0 \\ cos60=\frac{1}{2} \\ cos180=-1 \\ sin60=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \\ Thus, \\ cos180cos60-sin180sin60=-1(\frac{1}{2})-0(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) \\ cos180cos60-sin180sin60=-\frac{1}{2}-0 \\ cos180cos60-sin180sin60=-\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ Hence, \\ cos240^0=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

To get tan 240 degrees:

240 degrees falls in the third quadrant.

In the third quadrant, only tangent is positive. Hence, tan 240 will be positive.

$tan240^0=tan(180+60)$

Using the trigonometric identity;

$tan(180+x)=tan\text{ }x$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} tan(180+60)=tan60 \\ tan60=\sqrt{3} \\ \\ Hence, \\ tan240^0=\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}$

To get cosec 240 degrees:

$\begin{gathered} cosec\text{ }x=\frac{1}{sinx} \\ csc240=\frac{1}{sin240} \\ sin240=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \\ Hence, \\ csc240=\frac{1}{\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ csc240=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \\ Rationalizing\text{ the denominator;} \\ csc240=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \\ Thus, \\ csc240^0=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} \end{gathered}$

To get sec 240 degrees:

$\begin{gathered} sec\text{ }x=\frac{1}{cosx} \\ sec240=\frac{1}{cos240} \\ cos240=-\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ Hence, \\ sec240=\frac{1}{\frac{-1}{2}} \\ sec240=-2 \\ \\ Thus, \\ sec240^0=-2 \end{gathered}$

To get cot 240 degrees:

$\begin{gathered} cot\text{ }x=\frac{1}{tan\text{ }x} \\ cot240=\frac{1}{tan240} \\ tan240=\sqrt{3} \\ \\ Hence, \\ cot240=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \\ Rationalizing\text{ the denominator;} \\ cot240=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \\ Thus, \\ cot240^0=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \end{gathered}$
