The angle θ lies in Quadrant III . cosθ=−1/6 What is tanθ ?

Mathematics

andriy [413]3 years ago

With θ in quadrant III, we expect to have both cosθ and sinθ negative. Then from the Pythagorean identity, we get

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1\implies\sin\theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=-\dfrac{\sqrt{35}}6

Then from the definition of tangent, that is

tanθ = sinθ / cosθ

we get

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-\frac{\sqrt{35}}6}{-\frac16}=\boxed{\sqrt{35}}

Help! I need to know how to solve this
bagirrra123 [75]
Every triangle measures 180 degrees.
In order to get the answer you need to add every equation and set it equal to 180.

2x+4+2x-9+x=180
Combine like terms.
5x-5=180
Add 5 to the other side.
5x=185
Divide by 5.
x = 37

Now, plug 37 in for every x.
Angle A: 2(37)-9
Angle B: 2(37)+4
Angle C: 37

The measures are:
Angle A = 65
Angle B = 78
Angle C = 37

Hope this helps!

Answer pls and ill give you brainlliest
posledela

you have 4 fields where it can land, so the probability has a denominator 4.

2 of those fields have a even number so the numerator is 2.

-> probability is 2/4= 1/2
