Start by drawing a right triangle with legs matching the given point.
Horizontal leg = -8, Vertical leg = 3
The hypotenuse should be identical to a line going from given point to origin.

Next, use pythagorean theorem to find length of hypotenuse.
= sqrt((-8)^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(64+9) = sqrt(73)

Finally use trig ratios for cos, csc, and tan. (csc = 1/sin)
SOH --> sin = opp/hyp = 3/sqrt(73)
csc = 1/sin = sqrt(73)/3

CAH---> cos = adj/hyp = -8/sqrt(73) = (-8*sqrt(73))/73

TOA ---> tan = opp/adj = -3/8

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one number 5 from a total of 8 parts.

1 out of 8.

1/8 = 0.125

P(5) = 12.5%

Solve the right triangle given that mZA= 30°, mZC = 90°, anda = 15. Round your result to one decimal place.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$\angle B = 60^o$

$b =17.3$

$c = 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a= 15$

$\angle A = 30^o$

$\angle C = 90^o$

<em>See attachment for illustration</em>

Required

Solve the triangle

First, we calculate the measure of B

$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^o$ --- angles in a triangle

$30^o + \angle B + 90^o = 180^o$

Collect like terms

$\angle B = 180^o-90^o-30^o$

$\angle B = 60^o$

Solve for (c) using sine function

$\sin(30) = \frac{a}{c}$

Make c the subject

$c = \frac{a}{\sin(30)}$

Substitute known values

$c = \frac{10}{0.5}$

$c = 20$

Solve for (b) using Pythagoras

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

This gives:

$20^2 = 10^2 + b^2$

$400 = 100 + b^2$

Collect like terms

$b^2 =400 - 100$

$b^2 =300$

Take square roots

$b =17.3$

How does a line differ from a segment line?

Trava [24]

A line has an arrow on each end of the line. A segment has a dot or point on each end of the line.

The combined area of the 3 windowpanes and frame shown below is 924 in.2. The frame is of uniform width. What is the side length

wariber [46]

Answer:

Option A. $x=10\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The combined area of the 3 windowpanes and frame is equal to

$(3x+12)(x+12)=924\\ \\3x^{2}+36x+ 12x+144=924\\ \\ 3x^{2}+48x-780=0$

using a graphing tool to solve the quadratic equation

The solution is $x=10\ in$

see the attached figure
