Recall the Pythagorean identity:

\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1

Divide through by \cos^2x and you get

\tan^2x+1=\sec^2x

On the left hand side of your equation, use this expansion for \sec^4x:

\cot x\sec^4x=\cot x(\sec^2x)^2=\cot x(\tan^2x+1)^2=\cot x\tan^4x+2\cot x\tan^2x+\cot x

and simplify using the fact that \cot x=\dfrac1{\tan x}. You end up with

\cot x\tan^4x+2\cot x\tan^2x+\cot x=\tan^3x+2\tan x+\cot x

so this is an identity and holds for all x in an appropriate domain.

In △ABC, m∠A=44°, m∠B=48°, and a=25. Find c to the nearest tenth.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

=36.0

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the sine rule to find the missing sides as follows;

Lets find the missing angle C by using the summation of interior angles in a triangle.

C=180-(44+48)

=88°

Then,

a/Sin A=c/Sin C

25/Sin 44=c/Sin 88

c=(25 Sin 88)/Sin 44

c=35.97

The side c=36.0 to the nearest tenth.
