Explain how the tangents of complementary angles are related.

Mathematics
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  tan(α) = 1/tan(90°-α)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of one is the reciprocal of the tangent of the other.

__

In a right triangle, ...

  tan = opposite/adjacent

For the two complementary acute angles in such a triangle, opposite and adjacent are swapped. That is the tangent of one is the inverse of the tangent of the other. (That inverse is also known as the cotangent.)

  tan(α) = cot(90°-α) = 1/tan(90°-α)

SOMEONE HELP ME PLS<br><br> Solve for x.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

X equals 6°.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a geometry rule that states the outer angle of a triangle's interior angle is equivalent to the sum of the remaining two interior angles of the triangle. Following this rule, you can get that (6x + 8) + (5x + 8) = 82° ⇒ 11x + 16 = 82° ⇒ 11x = 66° ⇒ x = 6°.

Help me solve this please
drek231 [11]

Answer:

x is 46.67

y is 28.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x we use sine

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

AC is the opposite

x is the hypotenuse

so we have

sin 59° = 40 / x

x sin 59 = 40

Divide both sides by sin 59

x = 40/sin 59

x = 46.67

To solve for y we also use sine

sin y = 30/ 63

y = sin^-1(30/63)

y = 28.4°

Hope this helps you
