Answer:

cos(x)= -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If sinX = 0.6, and X is in Quadrant II,

sin(x)= 0.6 = 6/10

sin (x)= opposite side / hypotenuse

opposite side = 6 and hypotenuse = 10

use Pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

10^2 = 6^2 +b^2

100 = 36 + b^2

Subtract 36 from both sides

64= b^2

b= 8

Adjacent side = 8

Cos(x)= adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos(x)= 8/10= 0.8

Cos is negative in second quadrant

so cos(x)= -0.8

To calculate for cos X given that sin X=0.6 and is in Quadrant we proceed as follows:
sin X=0.6
Thus implies that:
x=arcsin 0.6
x=36.97
given that X is in the Quadrant ii then the value of x will be:
180-36.97
=143.13
hence cos X will be:
cos X=cos 143.13
cos X=-0.8

A fence completely surrounds a pool,that is 30 feet by 10 feet.what is the approximate length,in feet,of the fence

tamaranim1 [39]

Because the fence's dimensions is 30 feet by 10 feet, you can assume that one side of the pool is 30 feet while the other, non-congruent side, is 10 feet. The formula for perimeter, which you are trying to find, is 2L+2W=P. In this problem, 30 will be your L and 10 will be your W. Therefore, 2(30) +2(10)=80.

So 80 feet will be your answer.

A car travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes at a constant speed. Write an equation to represent the car travels in miles and minu

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

d = 0.666t , where d is in miles and t is in minutes.

d = 39.94h, where d is in miles and h is in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car travels $2\frac{1}{3} = 2.33$ miles in $3\frac{1}{2} = 3.5$ minutes at a constant speed.

Let the relation between the distance (d) traveled by car in miles after traveling t minutes is d = kt ......... (1)

Now, putting d = 2.33 miles and t = 3.5 minutes in the above equation we get,

2.33 = 3.5k

⇒ k = 0.666 (Approx.)

So, the equation (1) becomes d = 0.666t. (Answer)

Let us assume that the relation between the distance (D) traveled by car in miles after traveling h hours is d = Kh ............ (2)

Now, putting D = 2.33 miles and T = 3.5/60 = 0.058 hours in the above equation, we get

2.33 = 0.058K

⇒ K = 39.94

So, the equation (2) we get, d = 39.94h (Answer)

Need help don’t understand

adoni [48]

there is an equation for straight lines which goes

y-y,=m(x-x,)

where( x, , y, ) is any coordinate on the line and m is the gradient

so your answer is

y-7= -2(x-4)

does this make sense?
