Answer:

CD = 5.20 units to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BCD is a right angled triangle with m < C = 60 degrees (because triangle ABC is equilateral).

tan 60 = 9/CD

CD = 9 / tan 60

= 5.196.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: CD = 5.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is equilateral, then its angles are 60°, 90° and 30°

∠C = 60°

sin 60° = 6 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = BC = 9 / sin 60

BC = 6.9

tan 60 = 9/ CD

CD = 9 / tan 60

CD = 5.2 u

A vector with magnitude 9 points in a direction 190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Write in component form

Over [174]

Answer:

$\vec{v}= \text{ or } \approx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Component form of a vector is given by $\vec{v}=$ , where $i$ represents change in x-value and $j$ represents change in y-value. The magnitude of a vector is correlated the Pythagorean Theorem. For vector $\vec{v}=$ , the magnitude is $||v||=\sqrt{i^2+j^2$ .

190 degrees counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is 10 degrees below the negative x-axis. We can then draw a right triangle 10 degrees below the horizontal with one leg being $i$ , one leg being $j$ , and the hypotenuse of the triangle being the magnitude of the vector, which is given as 9.

In any right triangle, the sine/sin of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle.

Therefore, we have:

$\sin 10^{\circ}=\frac{j}{9},\\j=9\sin 10^{\circ}$

To find the other leg, $i$ , we can also use basic trigonometry for a right triangle. In right triangles only, the cosine/cos of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle. We get:

$\cos 10^{\circ}=\frac{i}{9},\\i=9\cos 10^{\circ}$

Verify that $(9\sin 10^{\circ})^2+(9\cos 10^{\circ})^2=9^2\:\checkmark$

Therefore, the component form of this vector is $\vec{v}=\boxed{}\approx \boxed{}$

The area of a square is 36cm2. What are the dimensions of the square? You must show your work. Pls tell me what the dimensions o

Helga [31]

Answer:

6 cm by 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for area of a square is A = s² where A = area and s is the length of one side. We know that A = 36 so:

36 = s²

√36 = s

s = ±6

Note that s = -6 is an extraneous solution because you can't have a side length of -6, therefore the answer is s = 6 so the dimensions of the square are 6 cm by 6 cm.

Answer: No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are parallel to each other. So, they never intersect. So, they don't have solution.
