Answer:

If the sine of an angle equals to {2}/{5}, then the tangent of the angle could be:

<em>5. \frac{2}{\sqrt{21} }</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Imagine a triangle
  • The sine of an angle is equal to the length of the opposite leg over the hypotenuse.
  • <em>HINT: SOHCAHTOA</em>

<u>To find the adjacent leg (a): </u>

Using the pythagorean theorem: a^{2} + b^{2} =c^{2}

- <em>a </em>and <em>b</em> are the lenght of the sides and <em>c </em>is the hypotenuse

we know one side and the hypotenuse. Therefore plugging into the formula we get:

a^{2} + 2^{2} =5^{2}

where <em>a</em> is the adjacent leg of the triangle, solving for a we get:

a^{2} =5^{2}- 2^{2}

a^{2} = 21

a = \sqrt{21}

<u>To find the tangent of the angle: </u>

Since tangent is opposite leg over the adjacent leg:

tan θ = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21} }

. A recipe for cookies calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar per batch of cookies. Elena used 5 and 1/3 cups of sugar to make multiple
Cerrena [4.2K]
Answer: 8 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction
5 1/3 = 16/3
Then we can now use the proportion to solve
2/3 cups = 1 batch
16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)
cross multiply
2/3 × x = 16 /3
2x/ 3 = 16/3
we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2
2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2
6x /6 = 48 / 6
x = 8
Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.

german

Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)
