The value of scale k is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the scale , we can either divide the coordinates of H' by the original point or compare both the points to find the original ordered pair.

Given

H(3,4)

H'(9,12)

The coordinates of H are multiplied with some integer k to form H'

So,

<u>For x-coordinate:</u>

3k = 9

k = 9/3 = 3

<u>For y-coordinate:</u>

4k = 12

k = 12/4 = 3

Hence,

The value of scale k is 3

Suppose that θ is an acute angle of a right triangle and that sec(θ)=52. Find cos(θ) and csc(θ).

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}$

$\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.

a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:

$\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$

we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:

$52 = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$

and solve for for cos(θ)

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}$

side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by $\theta = \arccos{\left(\dfrac{1}{52}\right)} = 88.8^\circ$

b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{adj}}{\text{hyp}}$

we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:

length of the adjacent side = 1
length of the hypotenuse = 52

we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.

$(\text{hyp})^2=(\text{adj})^2+(\text{opp})^2$

$(52)^2=(1)^2+(\text{opp})^2$

$\text{opp}=\sqrt{(52)^2-1}$

$\text{opp}=\sqrt{2703}$

length of the opposite side = √(2703) ≈ 51.9904

we can find the sin(θ) using this side:

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}$

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2703}}{52}}$

and since $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}$

$\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}$

A cone is cut by a plane parallel to the slant height of the cone. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed?

zimovet [89]

A cross section is a shape formed by cutting an object using a plane. For this case, a cone is sliced parallel to the slant height so the cross section formed would be a plane with a U-like shape. From the image attached, the correct answer is the second option.
