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

2.) $42\sqrt{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) $\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:the\:conjugate}\:\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

2.) $\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a\cdot b}$

What's absolute value |-8|

maks197457 [2]

The absolute value of a number can never be negative. That's because it represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line. The number $-8$ is $8$ digits to the left of zero on a number line. So, the absolute value of $-8$ would be $8$ .

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!
Thanks!
