Answer:

a. b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

\sec \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}

From the attached triangle drawn below:

NL=20,  LM=3b, \angle L=x^\circ

\sec x =\dfrac{20}{3b}

Since we are told that:

\sec x =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Then:\\\dfrac{20}{3b} =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Cross multiply\\5 \times 3b =20 \times 3\\15b=60\\$Divide both sides by 15\\15b \div 15 =60 \div 15\\b=4

The correct option is A.

Help need it done for tomorrow ​
Gelneren [198K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the law of sines :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite to the angles.

so,

14/sin(80) = x/sin(60)

x = 14×sin(60)/sin(80) ≈ 12.3cm

In the XY-plane, the X-axis contains all ordered pairs such that:
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option B

y coordinate is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in two dimension rectangular system of coordinates with two mutually perpendicular lines called x and y axis.

X axis is the horizontal line and y the vertical line, the point of intersection of these two lines is called origin with x=0: y=0

To the right of origin, positive values are marked and left negative. Similarly for y axis, above origin positive values and below negative values.

Thus we have along x axis, y values to be 0

Hence any point on x coordinate will be of the form (a,0) where a can be any real number

So option B is right
