Answer:
a. AB = 3.4 ft
b. AE = 1.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between trig functions and right triangle sides.
a. Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(28°) = BE/BA = 3 ft/BA
Multiplying by BA and dividing by cos(28°), you get ...
BA = (3 ft)/cos(28°) ≈ 3.4 ft
___
b. Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(28°) = AE/BE = AE/(3 ft)
Multiplying by 3 ft, you get ...
AE = (3 ft)·tan(28°) ≈ 1.6 ft
5/8 : 1/4 :: m : 1 proportion
5/8 = m/4 product means/extremes
5/2 = m
B and C are correct, A and D are incorrect
x1=3. x2=-2
b=-1
a=1
c=-6
x1=3
x2=-2
