Solve the equation. -5x + 2 = 67

Please help. How do you find cosine, sine, cosecant and secant with this triangle?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Hi there! You have to remember these 6 basic Trigonometric Ratios which are:

sine (sin) = opposite/hypotenuse
cosine (cos) = adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent (tan) = opposite/adjacent
cosecant (cosec/csc) = hypotenuse/opposite
secant (sec) = hypotenuse/adjacent
cotangent (cot) = adjacent/opposite
cosecant is the reciprocal of sine
secant is the reciprocal of cosine
cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent

Back to the question. Assuming that the question asks you to find the cosine, sine, cosecant and secant of angle theta.

What we have now are:

Trigonometric Ratio
Adjacent = 12
Opposite = 10

Looks like we are missing the hypotenuse. Do you remember the Pythagorean Theorem? Recall it!

a²+b² = c²

Define that c-term is the hypotenuse. a-term and b-term can be defined as adjacent or opposite

Since we know the value of adjacent and opposite, we can use the formula to find the hypotenuse.

10²+12² = c²
100+144 = c²
244 = c²

Thus, the hypotenuse is:

$\large \boxed{c = 2 \sqrt{61} }$

Now that we know all lengths of the triangle, we can find the ratio. Recall Trigonometric Ratio above! Therefore, the answers are:

cosine (cosθ) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 12/(2√61) = 6/√61 = (6√61) / 61
sine (sinθ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 10/(2√61) = 5/√61 = (5√61) / 61
cosecant (cscθ) is reciprocal of sine (sinθ). Hence, cscθ = (2√61/10) = √61/5
secant (secθ) is reciprocal of cosine (cosθ). Hence, secθ = (2√61)/12 = √61/6

Questions can be asked through comment.

Furthermore, we can use Trigonometric Identity to find the hypotenuse instead of Pythagorean Theorem.

Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)

What are the dimensions for this triangle?

REY [17]

Answer:

2 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel sides of rectangles are congruent, and because the other side of both rectangles is 2, the sides of the triangle are 2 because they share the side with the rectangle.

The sum of three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence is 27, and the sum of their squares is 293. What is the absolute di

Ber [7]

The absolute difference between the greatest and the least of these three numbers in the arithmetic sequence is 10.

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence. Therefore,

d = common difference

let

a = centre term

Therefore, the 3 consecutive term will be as follows

a - d, a, a + d

a - d + a + a + d = 27

3a = 27

a = 27 / 3

a = 9

Therefore,

(a-d)² + (a)² + (a + d)² = 293

(a²-2ad+d²) + 9² + (a² + 2ad + d²) = 293

(81 - 18d + d²) + 81 + (81 + 18d + d²) = 293

243 + 2d² = 293

2d² = 50

d² = 50 / 2

d = √25

d = 5

common difference = 5

Therefore, the 3 numbers are as follows

9 - 5 , 9, 9 + 5 = 4, 9, 14

The difference between the greatest and the least of these 3 numbers are as follows:

14 - 4 = 10

What is slope? Provide two examples of realistic situations where slope manifests itself. In each example make sure to state wha

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1. A slope is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.

"he slithered helplessly down the slope"

Some real life examples of slope include: in building roads one must figure out how steep the road will be. skiers/snowboarders need to consider the slopes of hills in order to judge the dangers, speeds, etc. when constructing wheelchair ramps, slope is a major consideration.
