Let the shorter piece be x. The longer piece is 4 times the length of the other, so it is 4x.

4x + x = 160.

5x = 160

x = 32

4x = 128

The length of the shorter piece is x, which is 32.

In the diagram, the length of segment VS is 39 units.

s2008m [1.1K]

It is given that the segment TR is equal to the segment VR, so segment VS is also equal to segment TS
VS = TS
39 = 6x – 3
39 + 3 = 6x
42 = 6x
X = 7

TV = 2(VR)
TV = 2 ( 2(7) + 5)
TV = 38 units

FAST!! Evaluate tan60/cos45 √6 √3/2 √2/3 1√6

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}= \sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}$

We use special angles or the unit circle to obtain;

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

This implies that;

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}=\sqrt{3}\div \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}=\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\tan 60\degree}{\cos45 \degree}= \sqrt{6}$
