Negative 50 over negative 5 integers

In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:

Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.

Find the longer leg of the triangle.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Choice A. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in question is a right triangle.

The length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is given.
The measure of one of the acute angle is also given.

As a result, the length of both legs can be found directly using the sine function and the cosine function.

Let $\text{Opposite}$ denotes the length of the side opposite to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle, and $\text{Adjacent}$ be the length of the side next to this $30^{\circ}$ acute angle.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Opposite} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \sin{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{1}{2} \\&= \sqrt{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly,

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Adjacent} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \cos{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\&= 3\end{aligned}$ .

The longer leg in this case is the one adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle. The answer will be $3$ .

There's a shortcut to the answer. Notice that $\sin{30^{\circ}} < \cos{30^{\circ}}$ . The cosine of an acute angle is directly related to the adjacent leg. In other words, the leg adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ angle will be the longer leg. There will be no need to find the length of the opposite leg.

Does this relationship $\sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta}$ holds for all acute angles? (That is, $0^{\circ} < \theta$ ?) It turns out that:

$\sin{\theta} < \cos{\theta}$ if $0^{\circ} < \theta$ ;
$\sin{\theta} > \cos{\theta}$ if $45^{\circ} < \theta$ ;
$\sin{\theta} = \cos{\theta}$ if $\theta = 45^{\circ}$ .
