Mathematics
1 answer:
balu736 [363]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

in a 30-60-90 triangle the ratio of sides, respectively, is 1 : \sqrt{3} : 2

you can set up a proportion like this to solve for 'x':

\sqrt{3} / 1 = 15 / x

cross-multiply:

\sqrt{3}x = 15

x = 15/\sqrt{3}

rationalize the denominator by multiply top and bottom by \sqrt{3}

you get 15\sqrt{3} ÷ 3 which is 5\sqrt{3}

Write each expression in terms of sines and/or cosines and then simplify.
Sedaia [141]
Tan(x)= sin(x)/cos(x), therefore, substitute sin(x)/cos(x) in the expression:
=(cos(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))-1)/cos^2(x)
simplify the 2 cos(x):
=(sin(x)-1)/cos^2(x)
Sin^2(x)+ cos^2(x)=1, sin^2(x)-1=- cos^2(x), substitute in the expression:
= -cos^2(x)/cos^2(x)= -1

the populatipn of a school of fish increases at a rate of 18% a Month. There are currently 500 fish in the school.
ruslelena [56]
You first must find the 18% of the fish population.

You multiply 500 by .18 . You are supposed to get 90.

90 is the 18% fish increase.

Then you just add 500 + 90 and you will get 590 fish that are now in the school.
