In triangle abc, cos A= -0.6. Find A and Tan A

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Part 1) A=126.87^o

Part 2) tan(A)=-\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

cos(A)=-0.6

The cos(A) is negative, that means that the angle A in the triangle ABC is an obtuse angle and the value of the sin(A) is positive

The angle A lie on the II Quadrant

step 1

Find the measure of angle A

cos(A)=-0.6

using a calculator

A=cos^{-1}(-0.6)=126.87^o

step 2

Find the sin(A)

we know that

sin^2(A)+cos^2(A)=1

substitute the value of cos(A)

sin^2(A)+(-0.6)^2=1

sin^2(A)=1-0.36

sin^2(A)=0.64

sin(A)=0.8

step 3

Find tan(A)

we know that

tan(A)=\frac{sin(A)}{cos(A)}

substitute the values

tan(A)=\frac{0.8}{-0.6}

Simplify

tan(A)=-\frac{4}{3}

What is the interquartile range of the data set ​
Verizon [17]

There are many methods of doing this. This one finds the median; however, instead of halving, you can use quarters instead.

First order the data, ascendingly:

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Find the median:

For an even number of values: The number of values / 2

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

11 is odd.

11 + 1 / 2

12 / 2 = 6

The median is at the 6th position.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

The median is 20.

<em>Other method:</em>

<em>You don't need this step.</em>

Using the values lower than the median, exclusive, find the median of the lower values;

For an odd number of values: <u>The number of values + 1 / 2</u>

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the lower values is at position 3.

This is the lower quartile.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

<em>Other method:</em>

<em>For an odd number of values: </em><u><em>The number of values + 1 / 4</em></u>

<em>11 + 1 / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3</em>

<em>10, 17, </em><em>18,</em><em> 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30</em>

<em />

Using the values greater than the median, exclusive, find the median:

For an odd number of values: <u>The number of values + 1 / 2</u>

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the upper values is at position 3.

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

This is 25.

This is the upper quartile.

<em>Other method:</em>

<em>For an odd number of values: </em><u><em>(The number of values + 1 / 4) * 3</em></u>

<em>(11 + 1 / 4) * 3 = (12 / 4)  * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9</em>

<em>10, 17, 18</em><em>,</em><em> 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, </em><em>25</em><em>, 30, 30</em>

Your interquartile range is 3 - 25

25 - 3 = 21

Corey needs 24 boards that are 47 1/2 inches long. B. If you can only buy 8-foot boards, how many should he buy? Explain.
dimulka [17.4K]
A. 95 feet

<span>B. 12, because that would get you 96 feet of board, and if you only got 11, then you would only have 88 feet of boards which is not enough.

Hope this helped!</span>
