14 and 15 have no common factor except ' 1 ' ,
so the fraction 14/15 can't be simplified.
It's already in the simplest available form ("lowest terms").
Answers:
x = 2√2 units
y = 2√6 units
Explanation:
The given diagram is a right-angled triangle. This means that the special trig functions can be applied.
These functions are as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
For getting x and y, we can choose to either work with θ = 30 or θ = 60.
I will work with 30.
1- For x:
We have:
θ = 30
x is the opposite side to θ
4√2 is the hypotenuse
Therefore, we can apply the sine function as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
sin (30) = x / 4√2
x = sin (30) * 4√2
x = 2√2 units
2- For y:
We have:
θ = 30
x is the adjacent side to θ
4√2 is the hypotenuse
Therefore, we can apply the cosine function as follows:
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos (30) = y / 4√2
y = cos (30) * 4√2
y = 2√6 units
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
50km = 0.33cm
280km = 1.87cm
142.5km = 0.95cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is 0.5/75 = 1/150 cm per km
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
