First, find the value of x. Note that the angles x, 0.5x and 3x sum up to 4.5x, and that this sum has the value 180 degrees. Solving this equation for x, we get x = 40 degrees.

Now, 0.5x and 0.5y are vertical angles, and thus x = y. So, with x being 40 degrees, y = 40 degrees.

Find the exact value of sin2 theta given sin theta =5/13, 90°<theta <180°

Zepler [3.9K]

Now, we know that 90°< θ <180°, that simply means the angle θ is in the II quadrant, where sine is positive and cosine is negative.

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}$

$\bf \pm\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{144}=a\implies \pm 12 =a \implies \stackrel{II~quadrant}{-12=a}
\\\\\\
therefore \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-12}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sin(2\theta )\implies 2sin(\theta )cos(\theta )\implies 2\left(\frac{5}{13} \right)\left( \frac{-12}{13} \right)\implies -\cfrac{120}{169}$

What is 8/15 plus 2/5 equal to

anastassius [24]

We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.

To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{6}{15} \\ \frac{14}{15} \end{gathered}$

Answer: 14/15
