Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the cosine ratio

cos30° = \frac{adjacent }{hypotenuse} = \frac{adj}{2\sqrt{3} }, so

\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{adj}{2\sqrt{3} }

Multiply both sides by 2\sqrt{3}

adj = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} × 2\sqrt{3} = 3

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}.

3. The MPG (Miles per Gallon) for a mid-size car is normally distributed with a mean of 32 and a standard deviation of .8. What
mariarad [96]

Answer:

93.32 %

Step-by-step explanation:

33.2   is    1.2   away from 32     this is  1.2 / .8 = 1.5 standard deviations ABOVE the mean     z -score = + 1.5

from z-score table this corresponds to .9332     this is  93.32 %

A class is selling magazines as a fund raiser. Of the 500 magazines sold, Amy sold 1/9 of them. Garret sold 0.145 of the magazin
andrey2020 [161]
500 total magazines...

Amy sold 1/9......1/9(500) = 500/9 = 55.5
Garret sold 0.145.....0.145(500) = 72.5
Robbie sold 12/100.....0.12(500) = 60
Carlita sold 0.095.....0.095(500) = 47.5

Garret sold the most

or u could have done it this way...
Amy sold 1/9.....1/9 = 11.1%
Garret sold 0.145 = 14.5%
Robbie sold 12/100.....12/100 = 12%
Carlita sold 0.095....0.095 = 9.5%

u will still get the same answer...Garret

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 666 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25\%25%25, percent les
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

She hiked 1,554 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hiking kilometers for morning be x

Given that:

Hiking kilometers in afternoon = 666

According to given condition that afternoon kilometers are 25% less than morning:

x = 666 + 25% of x

By simplifying:

x = 666 + 0.25x

x - 0.25x = 666

0.75x = 666

Dividing both sides by 0.75 we get:

x = 666/0.75

x = 888 kilometers

She hiked 888 kilometers in morning

And

Total = 888 + 666 =1554 km

i hope it will help you!
