Why did I get different answers to find x?

\bf tan(39^o)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{x}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{8}}\implies 8\cdot tan(39^o)=x\implies 6.48\approx x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{sin(39^o)}{x}=\cfrac{sin(51^o)}{8}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot sin(39^o)}{sin(51^o)}=x\implies 6.48\approx x

one thing to bear in mind is that calculators have two modes, Degree mode and Radian mode, if your calculator is in Radian mode and you plug in tan(39), it thinks "tangent of 39 radians" and so it gives that, bearing in mind that 1 radian is about 57°.

So make if you're using degrees as the angle, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode first, thus tan(39) will mean "tangent of 39 degrees".

\bf 8\cdot tan(39~rad) \approx 28.9~\hspace{10em} \cfrac{8\cdot sin(39~rad)}{sin(51~rad)}\approx 11.5

The steps for determining the center and radius of a circle using the completing the square method are shown below:
Fudgin [204]
The answer is option c.
 That is, the wrong step in step 6. It was written that the center of the circunference is the point (2.1). However, the general equation of a circumference is:
 (X- (a)) ^ 2 + (Y- (b)) ^ 2 = r ^ 2
 Where the point (a, b) is the center of the circle.
 So for this case the point for the center is: (-2, -1)

A chain has a ribbon tied to it every 2/3 foot. If the chain is 10 2/3 feet long, how many ribbons are tied to the chain??
patriot [66]

Answer:

16 ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the chain as 10\frac{2}{3} and there is a ribbon tied to it every \frac{2}{3}, we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of \frac{2}{3}:

10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}

\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16

When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

30 Points!!! Please help!! Will give Brainliest!! Please...
AlekseyPX

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides are congruent at parallelograms. So x+16 must be equal to 2x+5. Solve the equation;

2x+5 = x+16

x = 11 .
