ANSWER

\cot( \theta)  =    -  \frac{4}{3}


EXPLANATION

We were given that

\sin( \theta)  =  -  \frac{3}{5}

We need to find
\cot( \theta) .

We know that,

\cot( \theta)  =   \frac{ \cos( \theta) }{ \sin( \theta) }


We now need to find
\cos( \theta)

using the Pythagorean identity or the right angle triangle.

According to the Pythagorean identity,

\cos^{2} \theta + \sin^{2} \theta = 1


\cos^{2} \theta +  {( \frac{ - 3}{5} )}^{2}  = 1



\cos^{2} \theta +   \frac{9}{25}   = 1


\cos^{2} \theta  = 1 -    \frac{9}{25}

\cos^{2} \theta  = \frac{16}{25}




\cos\theta  =  \pm \:  \sqrt{ \frac{16}{25} }


\cos\theta  =  \pm \:   \frac{4}{5}

Since we are dealing with the fourth quadrant,

\cos\theta  =  \frac{4}{5}


This implies that,


\cot( \theta)  =   \frac{  \frac{4}{5} }{  -  \frac{3}{5} }

\cot( \theta)  =    -  \frac{4}{3}

The correct answer is D.

PQRS is a parallelogram. Find the values of a and b. Solve for the value of c if c = a + b.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a = 7

b = 7

c = 14             [Correct option is B. 14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is a parallelogram, to solve this problem, use some of the properties of a parallelogram:

(i) Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. Being congruent means the sides are identical. In other words, they have the same length.

From the diagram, this means that sides PQ and SR are identical. i.e

=> PQ = SR

=> 6a + 10 = 8a - 4          [collect like terms and solve]

=> 14 = 2a

=> a = 7

(ii) Opposite angles are congruent. Angles PQR and PSR are identical. i.e

<PQR = <PSR = (9b + 2)°

Also,

<SPQ = <SRQ = (18b - 11)°

(iii) Consecutive angles are supplementary. The sum of any two angles that are not opposite to each other is 180°. i.e.

<SPQ + <PQR = 180°

<PQR + <QRS = 180°

<QRS + <RSP = 180°

.

.

.

Also,

<PSR + <SPQ = 180°      

(9b + 2)° + (18b - 11)° = 180°        [expand bracket and solve for b]

9b  + 2 + 18b - 11 = 180

27b - 9 = 180

27b = 189

b = 7

Now, since a = 7 and b = 7;

c = a + b = 7 + 7 = 14

Therefore;

a = 7

b = 7

c = 14
