Converting to inches we have
\\  \frac{65}{13} =  \frac{x}{121 \times 12} \: or \\  \frac{65}{13} =  \frac{x}{1452} \: so \\ (65)(1452) = 13x \: so \\ x =  \frac{(65)(1452)}{13} = 7260 \: inches \\  =  \frac{7260}{12} = 65feet \\ as \: the \: height \: of \: the \: space \: needle

Which of the following trigonometric ratios are correct?
den301095 [7]

Hi there! In this problem, you should have the knowledge of three basic Trigonometric Ratio.

  • sinA = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cosA = adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tanA = opposite/adjacent

Now that we know three basic ratio. Let's check each choices!

  • sin50° = d/c

This choice is wrong because we focus on the 50° angle. When we focus on 50°, sin50° should be d/x and not d/c.

  • sin50° = c/x

This choice is also wrong because in ratio, it's cos50° that adjacent/hypotenuse.

  • tan50° = d/c

This choice is correct! As ratio states, tanA = opposite/adjacent.

  • tan50° = x/c

This choice is wrong. x/c is a reciprocal of cosine which is 1/cos. We call the reciprocal of cosine as secant or sec in short.

  • cos50° = x/d

This choice is wrong as x/d is a reciprocal of sine which is 1/sin. We call the reciprocal of sine as cosecant or cosec/csc in short.

  • cos50° = c/x

This choice is right by the ratio. Nothing really much to explain since we follow by ratio that is defined.

Answer

  • tan50° = d/c
  • cos50° = c/x

Questions can be asked through comment.

Furthermore, tan also has its reciprocal form itself which is called cotangent also known as cot in short.

Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)

Is 14 200 000 in scientific notation 1.42 10x,5
Elan Coil [88]

Yes, the rules of scientific notation are:

1. All non-zero digits are significant

2. Zeros in between non-zeros are significant.

3. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero number are NOT significant.

4. Zeros to the right of non-zero numbers are significant IF a decimal point is present.

P.S: if you need help with sig fig rounding, let me know.
