Answer: displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

A quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction is known as vector quantity.

The shortest distance between any two points is a vector quantity and it is named as displacement.

It has both magnitude and direction. It can be zero if starting and ending points are same.

Hence, the vector quantity that describes the shortest path between two points : displacement

5) Establish the indentity (cot + tan ) sin = sec . Show each step to justify your conclusion.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Identities : -

cot = cos / sin

tan = sin / cos

( cot + tan ) sin = sec

LHS

= ( cot + tan ) sin

= ( ( cos / sin ) + ( sin / cos ) ) sin

= ( ( cos sin ) / sin ) + ( sin² / cos )

= cos + ( sin² / cos )

LCM = cos

= ( cos² / cos ) + ( sin² / cos )

= ( cos² + sin² ) / cos

Identity : -

cos² + sin² = 1

= 1 / cos

= sec

= RHS

Hence proved.

Frank is making a pennant in the shape of a triangle for his senior class photo. He wants the base length of this triangle to be

Sav [38]

Answer:

Height should be ≤ 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Frank is making a pennant in the shape of a triangle for his senior class photo.

Base of triangle = 6 in

Area of triangle ≤ 27 $in^2$

Let height of the triangle be h

Now we now that,

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times h \leq 27\\\\3h\leq 27\\\\h\leq \frac{27}{3}\\\\h\leq 9 \ in.$

Hence the height of the triangle must be at most or ≤ 9 inches.
