Answer:

a) z = 70.5°

b) s = 83.6°

c) x = 0.7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We would solve for the above questions using Trigonometric functions of either Sine, Cosine or Tangent.

a) We are given the following values

Hypotenuse = 21 inches

The triangle is divided into two to give us a right angle triangle

The adjacent side = 14inches/2 = 7 inches

We are to find Angle z

The Trigonometric function we are using is Cosine

cos z = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos z = 7/21

cos z = 1/3

z = arc cos(1/3)

z = 70.528779366°

To 1 decimal place

z = 70.5°

b) We are given the following values

Hypotenuse = 12 cm

The triangle is divided into two to give us a right angle triangle

The opposite side = 16cm/2 = 8 cm

We are to find Angle s, but it is split into 2

So we represent the half as x

The Trigonometric function we are using is Sine

sin x = Opposite/ Hypotenuse

sin x = 8/12

sin x = 2/3

x = arc sin(2/3)

x = 41.810314896°

Remember in the question, we are to find s.

s = x° × 2

s = 41.810314896 × 2

s = 83.620629792

To 1 decimal place

s = 83.6°

c) From the above diagram, we are to find the Opposite side represented by x

Our triangle is split into two equal halves

Adjacent side = 2cm

Angle θ = 36°/2 = 18°

We are using Trigonometric function tan to solve for question c

tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent

tan 18° = Opposite/ 2

Cross Multiply = tan 18° × 2

0.3249196962 × 2

= 0.726542528cm

To one decimal place,

x = 0.7cm

Simplify<br> x^2(y^3)^4/xy^5=x^a•y^b
givi [52]

Answer: a = 1 b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2(y^3)^4/x.y^5 = x^a.y^b

x^2(y^12) = x^a.y^b

(x^2).(y^12)/x^y^5 = x.y^7

x.y^7= x^a . y^b -> <u>x^1.y^7</u>

If sintheta = cos theta then the value of acute angle is ​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the acute angle

From the question, we have it that the sin of the acute angle equals its cosine

Recall;

cos A = sin (90-A)

Hence, if A is 45, then Cos A and Sine A will be the same

This means the value of theta which is the acute angle is 45 degrees
