Comparing decimals 0.49 to 0.94 is that equal ? or 0.94 more..?

1 answer:

8 0

the simple fact that 94 is 49 backwards means nothing, anymore than say 001 and 100 are equal quantities or related other than in the digits.

so, 0.49 or 49/100 and 0.94 or 94/100, are two values, both are at the one hundredth level, so to see who is larger, we can nevermind the 100 and look at the numerator, 94 is clearly much larger than 49.

Answer:

31.243 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between sides and angles in a right triangle. Using the attached figure, it is convenient to find the length of BE as an intermediate step in the solution.

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(30°) = BE/100

BE = 100·sin(30°)

Then ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

tan(58°) = BE/x

x = BE/tan(58°) = 100·sin(30°)/tan(58°)

x ≈ 31.243 . . . . units

Comment on the figure

The intermediate problem in creating the figure was to locate point D. That was accomplished by locating point C on a line at an angle of 58° CCW from the horizontal, using point B as a center. Then D is the intersection of BC with the x-axis. BE is drawn perpendicular to the x-axis.
