Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle. To solve for any of the side length of such triangle, apply the trigonometry ratio formula which can easily be remembered as SOHCAHTOA.

SOH is Sin θ = opposite/hypothenuse,

CAH is Cos θ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA is Tan θ = Opposite/adjacent

Thus, in the right triangle given, we have:

θ = 38°

Opposite side to the given angle = x

Hypotenuse = 15

We're going to use, sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(38) = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for x

15*sin(38) = x

15*0.616 = x

9.24 = x

<em>x ≈ 9.2 (to nearest tenth)</em>

What is the probability of getting more than 60 heads in 100 tosses?

solniwko [45]

On a coin there is 2 sides so there is an even chance so if it’s 50 / 50 you would have to do more than 100 tosses to get over 60 heads

The coordinates of the vertex for the quadratic function are given as follows: (100,10).

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

The vertex is given by:

$(x_v, y_v)$

In which:

$x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}$

In this problem, the function is given as follows:

y = -x²/1000 + x/5

y = -0.001x² + 0.2x.

Hence the coefficients are a = -0.001, b = 0.2, c = 0 and the coordinates of the vertex are given as follows:

$x_v = -\frac{0.2}{2(-0.001)} = 100$

$y_v = -\frac{(0.2)^2}{4(-0.001)} = 10$

The area of a triangle is 56.4cm and the base is 12cm.What is the height of the triangle?

ale4655 [162]

area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height

56.4 = 1/2 x 12 x height

56.4 = 6 x height

height = 56.4 /6 = 9.4cm

Answer:

$6^{\frac{-1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

put them both in exponential form and then since they are both base 6, you can add the exponents.

$6^{\frac{1}{6}} *6^{\frac{-3}{6} }$
