Answer: A) 6/8

==================================================

Explanation:

The tangent of angle A is the ratio of the opposite and adjacent sides. So you just form a fraction of the opposite side (6) and the adjacent side (8)

The opposite side is the leg furthest from the reference angle A. The adjacent side is the leg closest to the angle A. Normally you would reduce the fraction as much as possible, but your teacher has chosen not to do so in this case.

ANSWER

A. 6/8

EXPLANATION

The tangent ratio is the ratio of the opposite side of the right triangle over the adjacent side of the right triangle.

The side opposite to angle A is 6cm

The side adjacent to angle A is 8cm.

\tan(A)  =  \frac{6cm}{8cm}

\tan(A)  =  \frac{6}{8}

The first choice is correct.

X^3+9X^2–25X–33=0<br> Find The root of X??
Simora [160]

Answer:

x=-11, -1, and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3+9x^2-25x-33=0

There are formulas to solve cubics, but that probably is not the way you are expected to go.  Here is a trial and error approach that works in this case.

Assume that the cubic can be factored and that the roots are r1, r2, and r3.  Then the factored form is

(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)=0

This shows that the constant must equal the product of the roots.

(r1)(r2)(r3)=-33

One possibility is that the roots are integers.  In this case, a factor of 33 might work.  Prime factorization of 33 gives 3 and 11.  Try 3.  Then (x-3) is a factor.

Divide the cubic by (x-3).  It works. the result is

x^2+12x+11

This has factors of (x+11) and (x+1).  Therefore, the roots are 3, -1, and -11

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Scale factor = 3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor of figure = \frac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Side length of actual}}

From the graph attached,

Scale factor = \frac{\text{Side length of figure B}}{\text{Side length of figure A}}

                    = \frac{3}{1} [Since size of every square of the graph is same]

                    = 3

Therefore, scale factor of figure A to figure B is 3.

In other words ratio of the size of figure A to figure B will be 3 : 1.

What is AE ? <br><br> Enter your answer in the box. <br><br> units
maxonik [38]
We know that

side AB is parallel to side CD
then 
∠A=∠D
∠B=∠C
therefore
(2x+6)/10=(x+6)/8-------------> 8*(2x+6)=10*(x+6)------> 16x+48=10x+60

16x-10x=60-48----------> 6x=12---------> x=2

so

AE=2x+6-------> 2*2+6--------> AE=10

the answer is AE=10 units
