Answer:

\sin(\theta)=0.47 and \cos(\theta)=0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle lies in first quadrant.

\tan\theta=\frac{8}{15}

Since, \tan\theta=\frac{\cos(\theta}{\sin(\theta)} this does not mean that \sin(\theta)=8 and  \cos(\theta)=15, because it is the ratio of the \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta) which is not necessarily the exact values of them. And also \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta) values lie between -1 \ to\ 1 and so it cannot be =8\ or\ 15.

In order to find the exact values, we need to find the exact angle.

\tan\theta=\frac{8}{15}

So,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{8}{15})

\theta= 28.07\°   As the angle lies in 1st quadrant.

Using the angle \theta we can find the exact values for \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta).

sin(28.07\°)=0.47

cos(28.07\°)=0.88

timurjin [86]
Think of it like a triangle.

The flagpole is vertical and is at 90° to the ground. This makes a right-angle to the ground, which is flat.

Since we have two sides of the triangle already, and they are in a ratio of ?? : 16 : 20 = ?? : 4 : 5, that means that because the triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third and last side must be 3 to complete the ratio! (This is called 'Pythagoras')

Since the other sides were divided by 4 to get the simple ratio, we must multiply 3 to get the actual ratio! 3 × 4 = 12 ft tall flagpole.

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.
