Answer:

There are three major trignometric ratios in mathematics and they are:

sine(sin), cosine(cos) and tangent(tan). A popular acronym is used in recalling the formula for each ratio and it is: SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine(x) = Opp/Hyp

Cosine(x) = Adj/Hyp

Tangent(x) = Opp/Adj

Now, the Hyp is the hypothenus of the triangle and it is the side opposite to angle 90. The opposite and adjacent is kind of relative depending on the angle been considered. For this case, we are considering angle 30 which the opposite side is 60 and the remaining side becomes the adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 30 = 60/x

A container weighs 23 2/5 pounds holds sports equipment. Of the equipment in the container 1/3 of the weight is baseball equipme

hram777 [196]

What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.

We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:

25 2/5= $\frac{23*5+2}{5}= \frac{117}{5}$

and now we multiply it by 1/3:

$\frac{1}{3}\frac{117}{5}=\frac{39}{5}=7\frac{4}{5}$

and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.

Ethan plotted points E, F, G, H, and I on a number line, as shown below. Which two points that Ethan plotted represent numbers t

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

F and H

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, the location of the points are E = -9, F = -6, G = -2, H = 6, I = 8. The law of additive inverse states that for a number a, its additive inverse is a number that when added to a equals to zero. This number is usually opposite in sign to a and of the same magnitude i.e -a. The law is given as:

a + (-a) = 0

From the points, F is the additive inverse of H, hence:

F + H = 0

6 + (-6) = 6 - 6 = 0

Hence the two points are F ad H
