The slope would be -6 because it is the opposite reciprocal. Not just the reciprocal.

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should

xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8

The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° and the length of a leg is 8 cm. Find the length of a diameter of

Goryan [66]

ANSWER

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

EXPLANATION

The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.

We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.

$\cos(60 \degree) = \frac{altitude}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos(60 \degree) = \frac{altitude}{8}$

Altitude =8cos(60°)

Altitude=4cm

Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.

Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm

The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.

From the smaller right triangle,

$\sin(60 \degree) = \frac{4 - y}{y}$

$y\sin(60 \degree) = 4 - y$

$y\sin(60 \degree) + y= 4$

$(\sin(60 \degree) + 1)y= 4$

$y= \frac{4}{\sin(60 \degree) + 1}$

$y = 16 - 8 \sqrt{3}$

y=1.857

The diameter is 2y

$d = 32 - 16 \sqrt{3}$

=2(1.875)

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

For the right triangle shown, which expression represents the length of CA?

Nataly [62]

Answer:

b. 5tan(25°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function gives the ratio between the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle. That is ...

tan(25°) = ?/5

Multiplying by 5 solves the equation:

? = 5·tan(25°)
