5580 minus 200 equals to 5380.
River D is 5380 divided by 2 which is 2690.
River C is 2690 plus 200 which is 2890.

Yo sup??

Let the length of river D be x

then the lenght of river C will be 200+x

but,

lenght of river C+lenght of river D=5580

x+x+200=5580

2x=5380

x=2690

Therefore lenght of river D is 2690 and that of C is 2890

Hope this helps

Find the exact values of a) sec of theta b)tan of theta if cos of theta= -4/5 and sin<0

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Using trigonometric ratio:

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

From the given statement:

$\cos \theta = -\frac{4}{5}$ and sin < 0

⇒ $\theta$ lies in the 3rd quadrant.

then;

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{-\frac{4}{5}} = -\frac{5}{4}$

Using trigonometry identities:

$\sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2 \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\sin \theta = \pm\sqrt{1-(\frac{-4}{5})^2 } =\pm\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{25-16}{25}} =\pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} } = \pm\frac{3}{5}$

Since, sin < 0

⇒ $\sin \theta = -\frac{3}{5}$

now, find $\tan \theta$ :

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\tan \theta = \frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{-\frac{4}{5} } = \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, the exact value of:

(a)

$\sec \theta =-\frac{5}{4}$

(b)

$\tan \theta= \frac{3}{4}$

What’s the answers to 13, 14, 14, and 16???

abruzzese [7]

For number 13,the arrow should be going “<“ way because it is in fraction form and the bigger the number the smaller the pieces. This repeats for the rest of the questions so for number 14,the answer is “=“,and for number 15 it is “>”
