If cos theta is -5/13 and sin θ < 0, what is tan θ ?

1 answer:

7 0

Take the right angled triangle with sides 13, 12 and 5. sine theta will be 12/13

When sin theta < 0 and cos theta < 0 we are in the third quadrant so sin theta will be -12/13

tan theta = sin theta / cos theta = -5/13 / -12/13 = -5*13 / -12*13 = 5/12

The radius of the circle on a basketball court is 6 feet. What are the approximate circumstance and area of the circle?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

C= 38 in Approx

A=113 in^2 Aprprox

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

radius= 6 ft

Circumference, C=2πr

substitute

C=2*3.142*6

C=37.704 in

Area A= πr^2

substitute

A=3.142*6^2

A=3.142*36

A=113.112 in^2

What are the missing angle measures in triangle ABC?

Finger [1]

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

∠ $A+$ ∠ $B=90$ ------> by complementary angles

Step $1$

Find the measure of angle B

we know that

$tan\ B=\frac{opposite\ side\ angle\ B}{adjacent\ side\ angle\ B}$

in this problem

$opposite\ side\ angle\ B=7in\\ adjacent\ side\ angle\ B=5in$

$tan\ B=\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=arc\ tan\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=54.5\ degrees$

Step $2$

Find the measure of angle A

$A+B=90\\ A=90-B\\ A=90-54.5\\ A=35.5\ degrees$

therefore

the answer is the option

35.5° and 54.5°
