Answer:

2 posts

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob is going to build a deck that is 7 feet long and he is going to use posts that are 6 inches wide = 0.5 feet wide.

He is going to put the posts 6 feet apart and one on each end.

So the first thing will be a post 0.5 feet, and after 6 feet another post of another 0.5 feet, so if we add all of this will be:

0.5 feet + 6 feet + 0.5 feet = 7 feet

So he will only use 2 posts.

Before we begin, let's identify what kind of angles these are and are they related in any way?

These angles are both acute and they are both corresponding angles.
Corresponding angles are equal to each other, and we can use this fact to our advantage.

Since they are equal to each other, we can set the equations of 1 and 2 equal to each other. Like so,

1 = 2
83 - 2x = 92 - 3x

Now, we can solve for X by isolating it on one side.

83 - 2x = 92 - 3x

Add 3x to each side: (This basically moves the X on the right side to the left.)
83 - 2x + 3x = 92 - 3x + 3x
83 + x = 92

Subtract 83 on each side to isolate the X.
83 + x - 83 = 92 - 83
x = 92 - 83
x = 9

Therefore, X equals 9. To check our work, we can substitute X for 9.
83 - 2(9) = 92 - 3(9)
83 - 18 = 92 - 27
65 = 65 -
TRUE

So to conclude, Angle 1 is 65 degrees, Angle 2 is 65 degrees, and X equals 9.

Hope I could help you out!

Given that cot θ = 1/√5, what is the value of (sec²θ - cosec²θ)/(sec²θ + cosec²θ) ?

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{Given :\;\dfrac{{sec}^2\theta - co{sec}^2\theta}{{sec}^2\theta + co{sec}^2\theta}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{cos\theta}}}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{co{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} - \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} + \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}}$

Taking sin²θ common in both numerator & denominator, We get :

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta\left(1 - \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}{sin^2\theta\left(1 + \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}}$
