Answer:

The possible co-ordinates of the point Q are (0,5) and (0,17).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P is a point (8,11)

Q is point on y-axis

PQ = 10 units

To find co-ordinates of point Q.

Solution:

Any point on y-axis is given as (0,y) as x=0 at y-axis.

Let the point Q be = (0,y)

We use the distance formula to find length of PQ.

By distance formula:

The distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given as:

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

Thus, for the point P(8,11) and Q(0,y) the distance PQ can be given as:

PQ=\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(11-y)^2}

PQ=\sqrt{(8)^2+(11-y)^2}

PQ=\sqrt{64+(11-y)^2}

Substituting PQ=10 units.

10=\sqrt{64+(11-y)^2}

Squaring both sides.

10^2=(\sqrt{64+(11-y)^2})^2

100=64+(11-y)^2

Subtracting both sides by 64.

100-64=64-64+(11-y)^2

36=(11-y)^2

Taking square root both sides.

\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{(11-y)^2}

\pm6=11-y

So, we have two equations to solve:

6=11-y and -6=11-y

Adding y both sides.

6+y=11-y+y and  -6+y=11-y+y

6+y=11 and -6+y=11

Subtracting both sides by 6 for one equation and adding 6 both sides for the other equation.

6-6+y=11-6 and -6+6+y=11+6

∴ y=5 and y=17

Thus, the possible co-ordinates of the point Q are (0,5) and (0,17).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the previous answers you know the angles and side lengths of the triangle:

α = 60°

Ф = 30°

and the side lengths:

1,2 and √3.

Remember:

sin = opposite / hypotenuse

cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan = opposite / adjacent

Now you can read off from the triangle:

sin 30° = 1/2

cos 60° = 1/2

sin 60° = √3/2

cos 30° = √3/2

tan 30° = 1/√3

tan 60° = √3

Diana invested $3000 in a savings account for 3 years. She earned $450 in interest over that time period. What interest rate did
In-s [12.5K]
\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\

\\\\\\
450=3000\cdot r\cdot 3\implies \cfrac{450}{3\cdot 3000}=r\implies \cfrac{1}{20}=r
