You are referring to an ELLIPSE.

In mathematics, an ellipse<span> is a curve in a plane surrounding two focal points such that the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve. As such, it is a generalization of a circle, which is a special type of an </span>ellipse<span>having both focal points at the same location.

I have two and one half squares and i want to divide them by one fourth. How many pieces would i have?
Nutka1998 [239]

2+½, is just 2½, now divided by 1/4.

let's first convert the mixed fraction to improper, and then divide.


\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;~\dotfill\\\\&#10;\cfrac{5}{2}\div \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{2}\implies 5\cdot 2\implies 10

If sin42 degrees = 2/3 then cos48 degrees = what? <br> If tan20.5= 3/8, the tan69.5= what?
Anna11 [10]

Big ifs, question writers. These are of course approximations.

The "co" in cosine comes from complementary angles. It means since

42^\circ + 48 ^\circ = 90^\circ

\sin 42^\circ = \cos 48^\circ

Answer: cos 48° = 2/3

Similarly,

20.5^\circ +69.5^\circ = 90^\circ

\tan 69.5^\circ = \cot 20.5^\circ = \dfrac{1}{\tan 20.5^\circ} = \dfrac 8 3

Answer: tan 69.5° = 8/3

1. TRIANGLES The ratios of the measures of the
maw [93]

sum of all sides of triangle=180°

7x+13x+16x=180°

36x=180°

x=180°/36

x=5

angle D=7x

=7(5)

D=35°

angle E=13(x)

=13(5)

E=65°

angle F=16x

=16(5)

F=80°

angle D=35°

angle E=65°

angle F=80°
