Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant.  But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off.  Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.  

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5.  That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3.  Filling in our formula:

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) } which simplifies a bit to

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} }  and a bit more to

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{5} }

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get

tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=-\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{1} which of course simplifies to

-3.  Choice A.

You can text 44 words in 1 minute. Write a proportion to help you find
Natalka [10]

Answer:

176 words

Step-by-step explanation:

1) well we want to find the amount of words we'd be able to type in 4 minutes. so, what i did was:

<u>44 words</u> = <u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

1 minutes = 4 minutes

2) now look at how i set up the proportion, notice how i left a variable of x for the value i didn't know.

3) we also know that 1 times 4 is 4, so it'd also make sense to also multiply the numerator by 4 too!!

4) multiplying 44 by 4 would get us our answer which is 176

im not the best at math but i this explanation helped <33

3. Here is a diagram of a softball field:
Crank

a. Length of the fence around the field = perimeter of quarter circle = 892.7 ft.

b. The area of the outfield is about 39,584 sq. ft..

<h3>What is the Perimeter of a Quarter Circle?</h3>

Perimeter of circle = 2πr

Perimeter of a quarter circle = 2r + 1/4(2πr).

a. The length of the fence around the field = perimeter of the quarter circle fence

= 2r + 1/4(2πr).

r = 250 ft

Plug in the value

The length of the fence around the field = 2(250) + 1/4(2 × π × 250)

= 892.7 ft.

b. Size of the outfield = area of the full field (quarter circle) - area of the infield (cicle)

= 1/4(πR²) - πr²

R = radius of the full field = 250 ft

r = radius of the infield = 110/2 = 55 ft

Plug in the values

Size of the outfield = 1/4(π × 250²) - π × 55²

= 49,087 - 9,503

= 39,584 sq. ft.
