NARA [144]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

               2√5

cos x = -------------

                   5

Step-by-step explanation:

If tan x = 1/2 then what is cos x?  

Recall that tan x is defined as the quotient sin x / cos x, so that in this case sin x / cos x = 1 / 2 = opp side / adjacent side.  Also, recall that cos x = adj side / hypotenuse.

To determine cos x, we need to find the length of the hypotenuse.  That, in turn, through use of the Pythagorean Theorem, is √(1^2+2^2), or √5.

Then cos x = adj side / hyp = 2/√5.  Rationalizing the denominator, we get

               2√5

cos x = -------------

                   5

Katie has a cat named
almond37 [142]

Answer:

1/2 a cup or 0.5 cups per serving

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to divide 7 by 14 you would get 0.5. The reason as to why you would divide 7 by 14 is because if she eats twice a day that would be 7 more times then if she were to be fed once a day. So if you  were to feed her twice a day that would be 14 times a week.

Don't think this helped at all but I tried my hardest, sorry if you get your problem wrong. Hope you have a good day :D

A suncatcher has 6 sections. Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram witha base of 12 cm and a height of 8 cm. What is t
jonny [76]

Answer:

576 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of sections in a suncatcher (n) = 6

Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram.

Base of parallelogram = 12 cm

Height of parallelogram = 8 cm

Now, area of a parallelogram is given as:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Area of 1 parallelogram = 12 cm × 8 cm = 96 cm²

Now, there are 6 parallelogram shaped sections.

So, area of the sections = area of 1 section × total number of sections

∴ Area of 6 sections = 96 cm² × 6 = 576 cm²

Therefore, the total area of the sections of a suncatcher is 576 cm².
