X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
Given that:
Consider it is instead of 10 on two places.
is between 3 and 4. So, Beau thinks a good estimate for is = 3.5.
Solution:
To find , Beau found 3² = 9 and 4² = 16.
He said that since 10 is between 9 and 16.
Since 10 is close to 9, therefore must be close to 3. So, Beau's estimate is high.
Now,
Since, 10 lies between 9.61 and 10.24, therefore must be lies between 3.1 and 3.2.
Therefore, the estimated value of is 3.15.
Answer:
Frank has X+45 baseball cards
Step-by-step explanation:
You just add 45 new baseball cards to the ones he had before which is X
A Because if you do 156 x 20 it equals 3120. It’s A because the volume formula is Length x Width x height, And 156 and 20 were the only numbers given.
The percentage of 15% of 9 is 60% (I think)
