What are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle in which one acute angle measures 19° and the hypotenuse is 15 units long?

1 answer:

6 0

The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.
leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units
leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units
The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.

A Spanish teacher informed her class that she would be giving 4 quizzes each month. Write an equation that shows the relationshi

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are going to be four quizzes a month (x), we know that we will multiply the number of months (x) by the number of quizzes (4). However, because we don't know how many months there are, we can define the months as (x), and instead put the total (y) is equal to the number of quizzes per month (4), multiplied by the number of months (x). Out final result is

(y = 4x)

On a cube, what proportion of the surface area is on each face, to the nearest percent?

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Cubes have 6 equal faces, and the surface area is the sum of all of these faces. Thus, one face would be 1/6 of the cube's surface area, or about 17%.

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line passing through (-3,3) with a slope of 1.

PIT_PIT [208]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=1[x-(-3)] \\\\\\ y-3=1(x+3)\implies y-3=x+3\implies y=x+6$

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{12-2}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{10}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{10}{5}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=2[x-(-4)]\implies y-2=2(x+4) \\\\\\ y-2=2x+8\implies y=2x+10$
