The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

x = 56.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that this is a right angle triangle which has opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse as sides. Since we want to find the angle x, thus, we can make use of trigonometric ratios.

From the attached image, the side opposite to angle x is 10ft and the hypotenuse is 12 ft.

From trigonometric ratios, we know that, sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

So, sin x = 10/12

x = sin^(-1) (10/12)

x = sin^(-1) 0.8333

x = 56.44°

Let (-5,-4) be a point on the terminal side of (theta). Find the exact values of cos, csc, and tan.
Rasek [7]

The exact values of the trigonometric identities cos, csc and tan as required in the task content are; -√41/5, -√41/4 and 4/5 respectively.

<h3>What are the exact values of cos, csc and tan as required in the task content?</h3>

It follows from above that the terminal side of the angle theta as described is on the point with coordinates (-5, -4).

Hence, the points spans 5 units leftwards and r units downwards on x and y axis respectively.

Hence, the length of the line that describes the angle by Pythagoras theorem is;

h = √((-4)² + (-5)²)

h = √41.

Hence, it follows from trigonometric identities that;

Cos (theta) = -5/√41.

Csc (theta) = -√41/4

Tan (theta) = 4/5

Maksim231197 [3]
Based on the given values above, we can find the exchange rate by simply multiplying $100 by the given exchange rate figure of 900.50. And the answer for this one would be 90,050. Therefore, the rate that he would receive is 90,050. It is the third option. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
