6:1 ratio, 35/1 is 35, so multiply 6 by 35 to get a 210 foot tall tower with a 210:35 ratio.

Find cos \theta θ if \sin\theta=-\frac{7}{15} sin ⁡ θ = − 7 15 and falls in quadrant 4
madam [21]

let's recall that on the IV Quadrant the x/cosine is positive and the y/sine is negative, and of course the hypotenuse is just a radius unit and therefore never negative.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-7}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{15^2-(-7)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{176}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{IV Quadrant}}{+\sqrt{176}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\sqrt{176}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}~\hfill

He ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two rectangles is 8:3. the area of the larger rectangle is 320 ft2. what i
dusya [7]
The answer is:  [A]:  " 120 ft² " .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Set up a ratio as a fraction:
_______________________________________________________

       8/3 = 320/x ;
_______________________________________________________
Cross-multiply:
_____________________________________________________

8x = 3 * 320  ;

8x = 960 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "8" ;
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
______________________________________________________
   8x / 8  =  960 / 8 ;

to get:  x = 120 .

The answer is:  [A]:  " 120 ft² " .

Select the scenario that correctly represents the given graph.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

C. The vertical distance of a roller coaster from the ground changes with respect to its horizontal distance from the beginning of the ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

See how the graph is in a "U" shape? That tells us that it first decreases and then goes back up at some point.

The way you would find this answer is to go through each scenario (A, B, C, and D) and think about which thing would make sense to go down and then up.

Lila flies a drone in the direction of 90° towards Avery. Once she gets to Avery she changes course and flies in the direction o
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

X = 13.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Lila and Mark be x.

Let the distance between Avery and lila be A= 20

Let the distance between Avery and Mark be B= 30

Angle x = 200-180=20°

To solve this question we will use the cosine formula which is

X² = A²+ B² -2ABcosx

X²= 20² + 30² -2(20)(30)cos20

X²=1300-1127.6

X²= 172.4

X= 13.13
