Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.

If \sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24}, we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.

So,

\cot \theta=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{24}{7}.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b

Cot θ  = 24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Sec θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent side

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side

It is given that,

secθ = 25/24

Hypotenuse =25

Adjacent side = 24

<u>To find opposite side</u>

Opposite side of θ = √(25² -  24²) = √625 - 576 = 7

<u>To find cot θ  </u>

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side = 24/7

Therefore the correct answer is option b

Cot θ = 24/7

___ x 4 = 12<br> ___ x 5 = 20<br> ___ x 2 = 10
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

3 x 4 = 12

4 x 5 = 20

5 x 2 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

3 four times equals 12

This is the same for the others

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20

Four 5 times equals 20

Mrs O’maley ran 2 2/3 miles today.she plans to run the same distance every day this week. How many total miles wil she run this
natulia [17]
Okay, so we multiply..

And we know that a week = 7 days..

So..

2 * 2/3 * 7 = ???

We change the 2 into 2/1
THEN we multiply..

2/1 * 2/3 = 4/3

Then we change the 7 into 1/7.. ( Which is still a whole )

Then multiply again..

4/3 * 1/7 = 4/21

You can correct me if I'm wrong...
I hope this helps you!
