(6y - 11)(6y + 11) = ay
² - b |use (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²
(6y)² - 11² =ay² - b
36y² - 121 = ay² - b |add b to both sides
ay² = 36y² - 121 + b |divide both sides by y² ≠ 0
a = (36y² - 121 + b)/y²
Answer:
D) cot(C) = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can go through each choice and examine is validity.
Choice A)
We have:

Recall that secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent.
With respect to B, the adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 7.
Therefore, sec(B) should be 7/6 instead.
A is incorrect.
Choice B)
We have:

Cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to B, the adjacent side is 6 and the opposite side is 3.
Therefore, cot(B) = 6/3 = 2.
B is incorrect.
Choice C)
C is incorrect for the reasons listed in A.
Choice D)
We have:

Again, cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to C, the adjacent side is 3 and the opposite side is 6.
So, cot(C) = 3/6 = 1/2.
Therefore, D is the correct choice!
Answer:
I think the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let me know if it is not
Answer:
0.76 or 76%
Step-by-step explanation:
Please kindly check the attached files for details

The aircraft is 29238 ft from the ship
//
Note: this is based on my assumption that we are looking for the hypotenuse.
If we are looking for the adjacent side, then the answer would be 27475 ft.
