The diagonal in a rectangle is 20 units long, and the angle between the diagonal and a side is 36º 42'.

1 answer:

3 0

Side adjacent to the given angle: x
Diagonal=hypotenuse=20
cos (36° 42') =(side adjacent to angle 36° 42')/Hypotenuse
cos (36° 42')=x/20
Solving for x. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20:
20 cos (36° 42')=20 (x/20)
20 cos (36° 42')=x
x=20 cos (36° 42')
x=20 (0.801775644)
x=16.03551288
x=16.04

Answer: Option D. 16.04

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS PLEASE

YEAH OFC SHAWTY!

so for A its -4^11 because if the powers have the same base and they are being multiplied you add the powers

For B its the same idea, they have the same base, and are being multiplied so you add the powers- 13^9

For C its similar, you have the same base, but since its Dividing, you subtract the powers. So, 9^5
for D you pretend like the denominator has a power of 1 and subtract. So its -24^5-24^1 which hopefully puts it into perspective of being -24^4 becuase we subtracted the powers

I cant do 2 right now, but i will in a minute

<u>And for 3 his mistake is that they arent the same bases so he cant add the powers, he should have converted them to the same base first. </u>

Find the function value. tan495°

inysia [295]

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find an angle that is coterminal to 495. So, subtract 360 degrees until youre in the range of 0-360. I got 495 - 360 = 135°

Tangent is equal to $\frac{sin(theta)}{cos(theta)}$ , we already solved theta which was 135°

This next part is hard to explain to someone who doesnt know their trig circle, idk if you do. The angle 135 is apart of the pi/4 gang. So we know this is going to be some variant of √2/2. Sine of quadrant 1 and 2 is gonna be positive:

$sin135=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$
