What is the ratio for sin Y if tan Y = 8/15?

Mathematics

Answer: 8/17

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent. The side opposite from Y has a length of 8, and the side next to it has a length of 15. These are the lengths of the legs of the triangle. To find the sine ratio, you need the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2=64 and 15^2=225. 225+64=289. The square root of 289 is 17. The hypotenuse has a length of 17.

The ratio for sine is opposite/hypotenuse. Take the value of the opposite from the tangent ratio (8) and the length of the hypotenuse (17) to get 8/17.

Find the value of x and y
vova2212 [387]

let's first off take a look at the <u>tickmarks</u>, three <u>side tickmarks</u>, so all those 3 sides are equal, all have a length of y - 25, so is an equilateral triangle.

there are two <u>angle tickmarks</u>, meaning those two angles are equal, wait a second! if those two angles are equal, that means is an isosceles triangle.

now, in an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, but also all angles are equal, since the sum of all interior angles is 180°, then each angle is really 60°.

let's notice that angle on the upper-left-corner, is a right-angle, but 60° are on the equilateral triangle, and so the remaining 30° must be on the isosceles triangle.

the isosceles triangle has then a vertex of 30°, and twin angles, the twin angles let's say are each a° so then

30° + a° + a° = 180°

30 + 2a = 180

2a = 150

a = 75° = y

now, let's recall, the isosceles triangle has twin angles but it also has twin sides, so the side "x" and the side with the tickmark are equal.

well, we know that y = 75, so the sides with the tickmark are then (75) - 25 = 50 = x.

What is a tree diagram? can you make one?
liberstina [14]
DescriptionIn probability theory, a tree diagram may be used to represent a probability space. Tree diagrams may represent a series of independent events or conditional probabilities. Each node on the diagram represents an event and is associated with the probability of that event. You can make one.
