Answer:

17,164 species.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the IUCN Red List of threatened Species notes that 36% of the 47,677 species assessed are threatened with extinction.

To find the number of species that are threatened with extinction we will find 36% of 47,677.      

\text{Number of currently threatened species}=\frac{36}{100} \times 47677

\text{Number of currently threatened species}=0.36\times 47677

\text{Number of currently threatened species}=17163.72\approx 17164

Therefore, 171164 species are currently threatened with extinction.

Given that tan theta = -4/7, and 270° < theta < 360°, what is the exact value of sec theta​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

sec Θ = \frac{\sqrt{65} }{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

sec²Θ = tan²Θ + 1

Since 270° < Θ < 360° ← that is fourth quadrant, then

sec Θ > 0, thus

sec²Θ = (- \frac{4}{7})² + 1 = \frac{16}{49} + 1 = \frac{65}{49}, then

sec Θ = \sqrt{\frac{65}{49} } = \frac{\sqrt{65} }{7}

In a circle a chord 10 inches long is parallel to a tangent and bisects the radius drawn to the point of tangency. How long is t
Lorico [155]
Check the picture below.

keeping in mind that the point of tangency for a radius line and a tangent is alway a right-angle, since the "red" chord is parallel to the "green" tangent line outside, then the chord is cutting the "green" radius there in two equal halves at a right-angle, as you see in the picture.

we know the chord is 10 units long, so 5 + 5, since is perpendicularity with the radius will also cut the chord in two equal halves.

anyhow, all that said, we end up with triangle you see on the right-hand-side, and then we can just use the pythagorean theorem.

\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}&#10;\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;-------\\&#10;c=2a\\&#10;a=a\\&#10;b=5&#10;\end{cases}\implies (2a)^2=a^2+5^2

\bf (2^2a^2)=a^2+25\implies 4a^2=a^2+25\implies 3a^2=25&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a^2=\cfrac{25}{3}\implies a=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{3}}\implies a=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies a=\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{and then we can \underline{rationalize the denominator} }&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a=\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies a=\cfrac{5\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3^2}}\implies a=\cfrac{5\sqrt{3}}{3}
