Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side adjacent to the angle. However, we do not have the measure of the hypotenuse given to us. This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Our sides have lengths of 5 and 12.

5²+12²=c²

25+144=c²

c²=169

We square root both sides

c=13

Now, we take our hypotenuse (13) and we put it over the adjacent side to angle L, which is 5.

Therefore, the secant is B) 13/5.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Find the perimeter and area of a rectangle with a width of 2 feet and a length 3 times as long.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Length = Width * 3

Width = 2 ft

Length = 2 ft * 3 = 6 ft

Perimeter = (L * 2) + (W * 2)

P = 16 ft

Area = L * W = 12 square feet

Critérios de divisibilidade dos números 2,3,4,5,6,8 e 10
san4es73 [151]

Step-by-step explanation:

Los criterios de divisibilidad nos ayudan a saber de antemano cuándo un número natural es divisible por otro.

Ser divisible significa que cuando dividimos estos números, el resultado será un número natural y el resto será igual a cero.

Presentaremos los criterios de divisibilidad por 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 y 10.

Divisibilidad por 2

Cada número cuyo dígito unitario sea par será divisible por 2, es decir, los números que terminan en 0, 2, 4, 6 y 8.

Ejemplo

El número 438 es divisible por 2 ya que termina en 8, que es un número par.

Divisibilidad por 3

Un número es divisible por 3 cuando la suma de sus dígitos es un número divisible por 3.

Ejemplo

Verifica que los números 65283 y 91277 sean divisibles por 3.

Solución

Sumando los dígitos de los números indicados, tenemos:

6 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 3 = 24

9 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 7 = 26

Dado que 24 es un número divisible por 3 (8. 3 = 24), entonces 65283 es divisible por 3. El número 26 no es divisible por 3, por lo que 91277 tampoco es divisible por 3.

Divisibilidad por 4

Para que un número sea divisible entre 4, sus dos últimos dígitos deben ser 00 o divisibles entre 4.

Ejemplo

¿Cuál de las siguientes opciones tiene un número que no es divisible por 4?

a) 35748

b) 20500

c

) 97235 d) 70832

Solución

Para responder a la pregunta, verifiquemos los dos últimos dígitos de cada opción:

a) 48 es divisible por 4 (12. 4 = 48).

b) 00 es divisible por 4.

c) 35 no es divisible por 4, ya que no hay un número natural que multiplicado por 4 sea igual a 35.

d) 32 es divisible por 4 (8.4 = 32)

Entonces la respuesta es la letra c. El número 97235 no es divisible por 4. S

A mouse traveled a total distance of StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction of a mile in a maze over the past 3 hours. The mouse tr
Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
