38 yard piece for each student and there are 16 students:
38*16=608
608 yards needed for your class
Answer:
<u>Given</u>
- tanθ = 3.454
- θ is in the III quadrant
We know in the III quadrant both sine and cosine are negative.
<u>Use the following identities to get values of sinθ and cos θ</u>
- sinθ = - tanθ/√(1 +tan²θ)
- cosθ = - 1/√(1 +tan²θ)
<u>Substitute the value of tanθ and find sine and cosine:</u>
- sinθ = - 3.454/√(1 + 3.454²) = - 0.961
- cosθ = - 1/√(1 + 3.454²) = - 0.278
When you line the object up against the ruler you are measuring it's side, if you put it on the one instead of the zero then you're making the object one inch longer, so you'd have to subtract the one in the end
