Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Utilise Pythagoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

→ Substitute in the values

10² + 24² = c²

→ Simplify

100 + 576 = c²

→ Simplify further

676 = c²

→ Square root both sides to isolate c

26 = c

A triangle has angle measurements of 87 degrees and 32 degrees. What is the measurement of the third angle?

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle measures 180 degrees

so your going to add 87 and 32 which gives us 119

since a triangle measures 180 degrees u you are going to subtract 119 from 180 which gives us 61 degrees

A and b are natural numbers. The diameter of cell a is 2.3 , and the diameter of cell b is 2.3 .

Pani-rosa [81]

After clarification we see the respective diameters are

$A = 2.3 \times 10^{-a}$

$B = 2.3 \times 10^{-b}$

We're asked about the ratio

$A:B = 2.3 \times 10^{-a} : 2.3 \times 10^{-b} = 10^{-a} : 10^{-b} = 10^b : 10^a = 10^{b-a} : 1$

Now we can go through the choices.

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

$A:B=10^{6-4}:1 = 100:1$

It would be more proper to say the diameter of cell A is 100 times the diameter of cell B, but yes, this is TRUE.

B. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 100 times greater than cell a.

FALSE. 10 to the minus 4 is 100 times bigger than 10 to the minus 6, so a is bigger.

C. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 2 times greater than cell b.

FALSE. We already calculated its 100 times bigger.

D. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 2 times greater than cell a.

FALSE.

What is the definition of csc θ ?

docker41 [41]

<span>The trigonometric function cosecant is written as csc θ. For acute angles, csc θ can be found by the SOHCAHTOA definition, shown below on the left. The circle definition, a generalization of SOHCAHTOA, is shown below on the right. f(x) = csc x is a periodic function with period 2π.</span>
