Answer:

Trigonometric ratio is the special measurements of a right triangle. There are three basic trigonometric ratios which are sine , cosine , and tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is sine? The sine of an angle x is the length of the opposite side.

What is cosine? The cosine of an angle is the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

What is tangent? The tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side

Tangent and sine are very closely related and easily mixed up. Be carful with your calculations for the most accurate answer.

What is the unit rate if there are 258 purple polka-dot pencils in 3 purple polka-dot purses?

stiks02 [169]

Unit rate means one. So the best way to solve this is using a proportion over one. If there are 258 pencils in 3 purses 258/3 then how many are in one purses x/1. Cross multiply next. 258/3 * x/1. You get 3x and 258. To get the x alone, divide both sides by three. Your answer is 86 pencils in one purse.

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a tree. The bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree. Approximately h

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to draw a horizontal line from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the tree and then draw a vertical line from the bottom of the tree to the top of the ladder, we'd get a right triangle with legs as the distance between the bottom of the tree and the bottom of the ladder and the height of the ladder, and the hypotenuse is the length.

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 10 feet and that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree, so use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

h = $\sqrt{10^2-4^2} =\sqrt{84}$ ≈ 9.2 feet

The answer is C.
