In the triangle below, determine the value of a.

Mathematics
1 answer:
makkiz [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig.  Side a, our unknown, is adjacent to angle C which is a given.  You always have to use a given angle and side to find a missing side, so we have to figure out how the two givens are related to our unknown.  Side a is adjacent to angle C, and we are also given the hypotenuse.  We know side a is not the hypotenuse since the hypotenuse is ALWAYS the side across from the 90 degree angle.  The tan ratio of angle C will give us a way to have only one unknown.

tan 43 = a/26 and

26 tan 43 = a

Use your calculator now to find the missing side.  

a = 24.2 units long

hodyreva [135]
62% of 25

'of' means multiplication.

\sf 62\%\times 25

Convert 62% to a decimal, divide it by 100(since percentages are parts of 100):

62/100 = 0.62

\sf 0.62\times 25

Multiply:

Which equation represents a line that passes through (4,1/3) and has a slope of 3/4?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{B.\ y-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}(x-4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

We have

m=\dfrac{3}{4},\ \left(4,\ \dfrac{1}{3}\right)

Substitute:

y-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}(x-4)
