<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3><h3>sqrt(3)/2, 1/2, sqrt(3)</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuse. For reference angle A, the opposite side is BC = 6sqrt(3). The hypotenuse is the longest side AB = 12

Sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(A) = BC/AB

sin(A) = 6sqrt(3)/12

sin(A) = sqrt(3)/2

---------------

Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AC/AB

cos(A) = 6/12

cos(A) = 1/2

---------------

Tangent is the ratio of the opposite and adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 6sqrt(3)/6

tan(A) = sqrt(3)

If (a−8)/3=(a−3)/2 , then a = ?

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\frac{(a - 8)}{3} = \frac{(a - 3)}{2} \\ 2(a - 8) = 3(a - 3) \\ 2a - 16 = 3a - 9 \\ 3a - 2a = - 7 \\ a = - 7$

A bridge constructed over a bayou has a supporting arch in the shape of an inverted parabola. Find the equation of the parabolic

Olegator [25]

Answer:

y = (-2/125)(x - 50)² + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the bridge is 100 meters.

Maximum height always occurs at midpoint of x.

So for x=50 meters , y = 40 meters.

As the vertex is given at the maximum height, Vertex can be defined at the point (50,40)

We know that the general equation for vertical parabola is:

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where (h,k) = Vertex = (50,40)

Substitute in the equation:

y = a(x - 50)² + 40 ⇒ Equation (i)

We know 2 more points on the parabola. We know that when x=0 , y=0 and we also know that when x=100m, y=0 meters.

Substitute any point in the above equation

Substituting (100,0) in the equation

0 = a(100 - 50)² +40

Solve the equation for a:

a = - 2/125

Substitute a in Equation (i)

y = (-2/125)(x - 50)² + 40

Please help me thank you.

For this question, we want to match the width of the smaller rectangle with the width of the larger rectangle, and we want to match the length of the smaller rectangle with the length of the larger rectangle.

Thus, we have two possible answers.

$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{12}{24}$
OR
$\frac{8}{4} = \frac{24}{12}$

Thus, B is our answer.
