Sec∅ = 1/cos∅
= 1/cos(240)
= 1/cos(180 + 60)
= 1/-cos(60)
= 1/(-1/2)
= -2

<span>60=pi/3
cos 60 = 0.5
</span><span>sec 240 = 1/ cos 240
 cos 240 = cos (180+60)
cos (180+x) = -cos x
</span><span>cos (180+x) = -cos x
so
cos 240 = -cos 60
              = -0.5
</span><span> sec 240 =1/ cos 240
              = 1/(-0.5)
              = -2</span>

In kite ABCD, AB = BC and CD = DA. AB = (3x + 4), BC = x + 8, CD = y + 7, and DA = 2y + 5, find the perimeter of the kite
lana [24]
3x + 4 = x+ 8   >  3x - x = 2x   >  2x + 4 = 8 >  8 - 4 = 4 > 2x / 2 crosses out > 4 / 2 = 2 > x=2
2y + 5 = y + 7 >  2y - y = y >  y+ 5 = 7 >  7-5= 2 > y=2 
 
the perimeter of the kite is 4

Find the value of r so the line passes through each pair of points has the give slopes
Art [367]

Answer:

r=64

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's start with what we have. If we use y=mx+b here's what we can put in:

y=-4x+b

Then we can use one of the given points to find the y-intercept. Since the only complete one is (12,10), we'll use that.

10=-4(12)+b\\10=-48+b\\58=b

So now we have y=-4x+58.

Now we can use our other point with the missing y-value and solve for y.

r=-4(-2)+58\\r=64

So the missing value is 64.

Hope this helps!
