Answer:

135 cm or 1.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(135) = 90

1/3(90) = 30

Answer:

1.35 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original length of the string be <em>x</em>.

So, we started out with <em>x </em>centimeters. Rachel used 2/3 of it (the original amount) to tie some books together. Therefore, we now have:

x-\frac{2}{3}x

centimeters of string left. This represents the original minus the amount she used.

Next, she used 1/3 of the remaining string. In other words:

x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x)

The newly added terms is 1/3 of the remaining string length.

And she ends up with 30 centimeters. Therefore, we need to solve the equation for <em>x</em>:

x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x)  =30\\\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{2}{9}x=30\\\frac{2}{9}x=30\\ x=30\cdot \frac{9}{2}=135 \text{ centimeters}

Therefore, the original length of the string was 135 centimeters or 1.35 meters (move the decimal two places to the left).

Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite

so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x

so it is the second option

Given the triangle below, which of the following is a correct statement?
EleoNora [17]

ANSWER

(A)csc angle C equals 3 over 2

EXPLANATION

The cosecant is hypotenuse over opposite.

\csc(C)  =  \frac{6}{4}

\csc(C)  =  \frac{3}{2}

\csc(B) = \frac{6}{5}

The secant is the hypotenuse over adjacent.

\sec(C)=\frac{6}{5}

\sec(B)  =  \frac{6}{4}

\sec(B)  =  \frac{3}{2}

The only correct choice is A

For the square with side length n, the diagonal measures:

d = \sqrt{2} *n

<h3>How to get the length of the diagonal?</h3>

The sidelength of the square is n, and we want to get the length of the diagonal d.

Notice that the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose catheti measure n.

Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the cathetus;

d^2 = n^2 + n^2\\\\d^2 = 2n^2\\\\d = \sqrt{2n^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{2}*n

That is the length of the diagonal.
