Identify the exact value of 157.5°

1 answer:

8 0

exact value of sin 157.5 without using a calculator
sin(157.5)=sin(315/2)
Identity: sin(x/2)=±√[(1-cosx)/2]
select positive identity since 175 is in the 2nd quadrant where sin>0
sin(315/2)=√[(1-cos315)/2]

cos 315=cos45 in quadrant IV=√2/2
sin(315/2)=√[(1-√2/2)/2]=√[(2-√2)/4]=√(2-√2)/2
sin(157.5)=√(2-√2)/2
check using calculator:
sin157.5º≈0.382...
√(2-√2)/2≈0.382...

Answer: The answer would be letter A

slope (m)=-9/2

intercept on x-axis=56/9

intercept on y-axis=28

Explanation:

18x+4y=112

(18x)/112+(4y)/112=1

(x/1)/(56/9)+y/28=1

intercept on x-axis=56/9

intercept on y-axis=28

now, 4y=-18x+112

y=-9/2x+28

so, slope (m)=-9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms that don't contain y to the right side and solve.

y = 28 − (9 x) /(2)

A person whose eye level is 15 feet above the ground is looking at a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the building

uysha [10]

Answer:

61.97 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Horizontal distance between the person and building,

Let distance = d

Tan 15 = 15 / d

0.2679491 * d = 15

d = 15 / 0.2679491

d = 55.980781

To obtain the height, h :

tan 40 = (h-15)/d

d = 55.98

h-15 = 55.98 (tan 40°)

h - 15 = 55.98 * 0.8390996

h - 15 = 46.972797

h = 46.972797 + 15

h = 61.972797

h = 61.97 feets

The gas tank in Sharon’s car can hold up to 16.5 gal of gas. About how many liters of gas can the tank hold? 1 L≈1.06 qt

My name is Ann [436]

Most people have trouble deciding on what conversion factor to use. If there you use one conversion factor, and you get something like this:

(gal^2)/qt

Then you know that you used the wrong conversion factor. ALWAYS remember to multiply and divide your units. If you don't, you will not know whether or not you got what you were looking for.
