Answer:

\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}

\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.

a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:

\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}

we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:

52 = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}

and solve for for cos(θ)

\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}

side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by \theta = \arccos{\left(\dfrac{1}{52}\right)} = 88.8^\circ

b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:

\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{adj}}{\text{hyp}}

we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:

  • length of the adjacent side = 1
  • length of the hypotenuse = 52

we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.

(\text{hyp})^2=(\text{adj})^2+(\text{opp})^2

(52)^2=(1)^2+(\text{opp})^2

\text{opp}=\sqrt{(52)^2-1}

\text{opp}=\sqrt{2703}

  • length of the opposite side = √(2703) ≈ 51.9904

we can find the sin(θ) using this side:

\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}

\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2703}}{52}}

and since \csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}

\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}

Answer:

The answer is B ⇒ \sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi }}=10

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ v = π r² h

∴ r² = \frac{V}{\pi h }

∴ r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}

∵ r = 10 ft and h = 15 ft

∴ 10=\sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi } }

How do you solve number 29? Please step by step
trapecia [35]

Answer:

a) Junnie walked farther than Maurice

b) Junnie walked .62 miles farther than Maurice

Step-by-step explanation: Because speed times time equals distance, to find how far each person traveled you multiply their speed and time.

Distance=speed×time

Junnie:

2.5hrs×3.2mph=8 miles

Maurice:

1.8hrs×4.1mph=7.38 miles

8-7.38=.62 (the difference between the two)

Solve the following equation for x.<br> 3x - 9 = -42
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11
