Both Rhianna and Christopher were correct as they took different reference angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

tan \theta = \frac{opposite side}{adjacentside} .

The value of the tan of a reference angle is calculated using the above formula.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle is always opposite the right angle of the triangle.

In this triangle, the hypotenuse is the side measuring 5 units.

Step 2:

When the reference angle is A, the opposite side measures 3 units and the adjacent side measures 4 units.

So tan A = \frac{3}{4} .

When the reference angle is C, the opposite side measures 4 units and the adjacent side measures 3 units.

So tan C = \frac{4}{3} .

So both Rhianna and Christopher were right as they took different reference angles i.e. A and C.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (5,21) and (-5,-29)
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

lets have -29 be y2 and -5 be x2

21 - (-)29

5 - (-)5

Subtracting a negative is just adding it so

21 + 29   50
5 + 5       10

50/10

this simplified, is 5/1 or 5

y=5x+b

now we need to find b, so we substitute  y and y

x = 5

y = 21

21=5*5=b

5*5 is 25

now we need to get to 21


25 -4 is 21

b = -4

y=5x-4

Find the area of object and what is method
Alborosie

It would be...

(18 +28) divided by two

then take that and multiply it by the height - 5

the 6 in this equation doesn't matter because it is not the height of the shape

In an older television set, the screen height is 0.75 times the screen width.
natima [27]
The television set has a rectangular shape. The diagonal of this rectangle along with its width and length together form a right angular triangle.
This means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem which states that:
(diagonal)^2 = (length)^2 + (width)^2

Let the width be w. We know that the length is 0.75 times the width, this means that: length = 0.75 w

Substitute in the above equation:
(20)^2 = (0.75w)^2 + (w)^2
400 = 0.5625 w^2 + w^2
400 = 1.5625 w^2
w^2 = 256
w = 16

This means that the width of the screen is 16 in.

How do you find the total amount given the percentage of a partial amount
Kay [80]

The whole value can be found by using a phenomenon known as proportion

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a measurement system.

Now we are given a percent p of a value let us say x and that value be v

We have to find the initial value let us say that value to be 'P'

To find that we use proportion

That is ratio of value to their respective percentage will be equal

Hence we will have

P/100 = v/ x

P= (v/x)*100

Hence we get the initial value
