Answer:

1 in. : 18 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the 15 ft to inches. 12x15 = 180

So for every 10 inches in length of the model, there are 180 inches in the actual car. 10 in. : 180 in.

10/180 can be simplified to 1/18.

For every inch in the model, there are 18 inches in the actual car.

1 in. : 18 in.

Oh this question is kinda tricky. At first glance it’s 1 : 1.5 but notice the units. The model car is 10 inches long and the actual car is 15 feet long.

I think you know where to go from there, but 15 feet * 12 inches = 180 inches.

10 : 180 simplifies to 1 : 18 inches

Evaluate each trigonometric equation for θ.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

sinФ = 8/17

cosФ = 15/17

tan Ф = 8/15

csc Ф = 17/8

sec Ф = 17/15

cot Ф = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the trigonometry functions

Sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

Cos(x) = adjacent/hypoteouse

Tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

Csc(x) = hypotenuse/opposit

Sec(x) = hypotenues/adjacent

Cot(x) = adjacent/opposite

In the given figure

The opposite side to angle Ф = 8

The adjacent side to angle Ф = 15

Find the hypotenuse using Pythagoras' theorem

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{8^{2}+15^{2} }$

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{64+225}$

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{289}$

$Hypotenuse = 17$

Let us use the rules above to find the trigonometry functions

sinФ = 8/17

cosФ = 15/17

tan Ф = 8/15

csc Ф = 17/8

sec Ф = 17/15

cot Ф = 15/8
